Great Mexican bar! Stopped after the Durham Art Festival for drinks and appetizers between lunch and dinner and was not disappointed. The vibe was modern Mexican in all the right ways. Drinks were creative and delicious. Very good service and appetizers were also good. I love how downtown Durham has evolved. Looking forward to returning.

It is a great place with excellent service, a nice atmosphere, a beautiful design and interior, and an impressive presentation of drinks. You can see how the bartenders carefully and skillfully prepare the drinks with attention to detail, from the glassware to the garnishes—each glass looks unique and beautifully presented. While we were there, a manager came over and offered to take a shot of tequila with us. Unfortunately, we declined, but it was a nice gesture. Overall, the staff created a very pleasant atmosphere with positive energy.
From food we've ordered Vallartaso Ceviche, Tacos De Pastor, & Carrito De Churros.
My wife said the ceviche was delicious, and as for my tacos, I absolutely loved them. The meat was unique and flavorful, with a thin slice of pineapple on top, and the side sauce was also very tasty.
The churros were presented in a really interesting way, served in a fun cart with three different dips.
From drinks, we've tried La Ultima Y Nos Vamos, El Chavo Del Ocho, Là Bichota, and my wife ordered a custom spicy drink.
All the cocktails were, first of all, incredibly delicious, and secondly, the proportion of mezcal, syrup, and flavors was perfect. There was no need to ask for an extra shot, which we usually do when we go to other cocktail bars or restaurants.

BIG fan! Was craving tacos & I saw previous reviews on the Mexican fries, super tasty. Rosa was awesome, very friendly and attentive. We had the Birria tacos and Al Pastor in addition to the Mexican fries, everything was very flavorful down to the last bite.
Oh! And the churro cart was so cute & tasty too.

Everything about this place is so delicious! The drinks, the tacos, the ceviche... I wish my stomach was bigger so i could try more things off of the menu. Seriously, everything was THAT good. Guess we'll have to come back again.

Came here through an Offline subscription offer. Fruit and ceviche were refreshing, and the rest hit the savory spot. Delicious!! Would come back here again. Shared this with a friend and had leftovers. 🤤

Cannot recommend enough! Spicy watermelon margarita is incredible. We got the guac for an app and it was amazing! I got the tacos de pollo with pineapple added, and my husband got the tacos de asada. We loved them both! I also tried a drink and didn’t care for it, and it was taken off the bill. Incredible service! We will definitely be back.
