a 12% tip is really insulting. unless the waitress was really just plain rude to you, you should not go through life thinking that a 12% tip is ok. i have been here in the past and went again recently and find the food and service consistent and good. service is not four seasons good, but friendly and casual. i am not a waitress but i do understand how tipping works in this country, and 12% is not enough.

After eating here, I actually feel I may have given other restaurants I have reviewed too high a rating. This place is perfectly sized to feel intimate and exclusive without feeling boxed in. It has the air of a secret find and there is no pretentiousness to be found. The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly... And the food and drinks are great. I'd recommend the steak tacos and the habañero/grapefruit margaritas (althought the standard ones are just as tasty). The tequila selection is awesome. The ceviche is authentic and good, but I've had better. I'd also recommend getting there early as I'm not the only city dweller who has discovered this excellent place. It get's packed.

You may have to wait 20 minutes to be seated at a table (I recommend a seat at the bar) after 6 o clock, but for a place thats packed every night of the week in an area off the beaten track- there's a good reason. Don't be fooled by the cardboard drinks menus. The grapefruit margarita is a gem as well as the dark ginger mojito. To absorb the alcohol- I recommend the steak tacos and calamari salad.
