The food was great, but the ambiance was excessively loud! If you come here I recommend coming with ear plugs because you will damage your ear drums. They play really loud live banda music, which is cool and part of the culture, but honestly you can't really talk or communicate with whoever you come with, you literally have to yell at each other every to get an order in of food and drinks, with that being said it's a good place to come drink with your friends and have a good time especially if you don't want to talk about your problems instead drink them away. The tacos gobernadores are really good! I recommend getting those along with the shrimp that I got it was spicy and had tamarind I unfortunately can't remember what they were called!, but I remember they were really tasty!! You do have to struggle to eat your way through them since they're not peeled and have the head, but I don't mind much since the head has a lot of flavor!! Definitely would come back just coming back with my AirPod pros, or some ear plugs! I left with a ringing in my ears.
