My dad took me here and we really liked it. It has an artistic vibe and classic ambience with high ceilings, classic fare, and beautiful oil paintings all over the walls. I would highly recommend.

Authentic Mexican food was delicious. The servers were great. The architecture in this place is a little piece of Mexico. I absolutely recommend trying this Mexican Restaurant.

Dining here is an immersive experience. The original works of art so generously displayed throughout this beautifully restored space transported me to another time and space.

Humberto generously spent some time with me as I had arrived early for a lunch date with an old colleagued. His love of art translates into everything in the restaurant. The food is an artistic creation and seamlessly fits into its surroundings. I felt so honored to be able to dine in this artful gallery. Like all fine things in life, Humberto and his gracious team are keen on making food and life artfully beautiful

Came out here for some lunch with friends, there was a total of 7 of us. Our experience was not a good one. The best thing we had was the Complementary chips and salsa. All our plates came out the same time and it looked like it was sitting under the heat lamp for some time before it was brought out to us. The was a film of dried sauce on top of all our plates. I ordered the albondigas, when I got it the soup was cold I had to ask them to heat it up. Upon trying it the soup was great but the albondigas itself was worth than something that came out of a can. My wife ordered the Chile verde, that

The best unexpected surprise in all of East LA. But it's not cheap. Lunch for 2 was $75 plus a tip for valet parking. Don't let that scare you away because then you'll miss the art show inside. Dining amongst the paintings and the decor takes you away to a special place. We left here and hours later we were still remembering how delicious our food was. This place gets a Bomb.com rating.
