Yummy all you can eat brunch on the weekends! Great cocktails and portions are nice as well. Speedy service and fresh ingredients. May be just me but sometimes when I'm walking in there's a slight smell of gas, not sure why...otherwise great!

I went for bottomless brunch with two friends and had a lovely time! Overall, we felt the $25 was well worth the variety of choices we had. I think maybe 3-4 people is the best group size to share the tapas plates so you can order more. The service was friendly and quick, though they did forget our kale salad, so we had to ask again. We ordered a lot of different things. Our favorites included the chilaquiles, kale salad, and French toast. We enjoyed the corn, papas bravadas, and various tacos as well. I'll definitely be back!

We came here for some drinks to socialize over during the weekend. They had a nice drink menu with some great sounding options. Thankfully we made a good choice - 3 guava spritzes please! They were soooo tasty and even aesthetic! Perfect choice :) good place to meet up with friends/family and even for dates.

Wonderful option in Davis Square - great for an outdoor meetup! I stopped here with a friend to catch up and we were delighted by the size of the "extra large" cocktails at a reasonable price and great flavor. I was able to get a mezcalita which is one of my favorites and it was refreshing, well balanced and not too sweet! The staff are incredibly light hearted and kind, the atmosphere friendly and casual and the seating options diverse and comfortable. I'll definitely be back for Mezcalitas - for foods there were some very tasty options like ceviche, fried Brussels and chips but all a little too firey for my stomach!

Good food near Harvard. Outdoor and indoor Food:4/5 Nice menu with both spicy and non-spicy options. We enjoyed the fajitas, the tacos, the appetizers and the beverages. There are both many varieties of margaritas-both multiple alcohol and one non-alcohol version. As well as two other non-alcohol drinks. Large beer and wine list. Service: service was excellent Julie waited in the outside tables and checked on us often Location -very convenient to Harvard. Street parking available-and one all-day parking lot for $45. Facility -Nice clean cheery interior. Outdoor tables on the sidewalk between the busy street and the busy sidewalk. Pleasant evening site.

Came here with some friends for bottomless brunch. Every dish we ordered was insanely delicious and packed with flavor. My personal favorite was the chicken milanesa torta. The music in the restaurant was very upbeat, groovy, and had us dancing in our seats. The service could have been a lot better. When waiting to order more food, I had to yell "EXCUSE ME" very loudly to get a waiter's attention. Aside from that little mishap, I highly recommend this place, especially for bottomless brunch.

After attending this past year's honk fest in Somerville we decided to try this place right down the street off davis square. The place had good seating and a very nice layout with an interesting fun atmosphere. We were seated and immediately served a delicious complimentary chips and salsa that kept coming once we ate them all. The food here comes with large portions and with very tasty and deep flavor. There are so many great options on the menu and the stuff we ordered was extremely good and filling with great prices. Overall I highly recommend this place and will be returning for some authentic Mexican food!
