"as a disclaimer I visit from Southern California. I am also Peruvian and Nicaraguan latina. so the readers have a context to my cultural food standards. my man and I enjoyed the lively atmosphere and the campy decorations. the staff was also very friendly. The beverage menu is extensive and super cool, they have tons of options all over the table. we ordered mi corazon and pink mojito. the mi corazon didn't taste alcoholic when you were in there. Finally, the 3-star review for eating. we ordered the nachos, bbq rack and diablo steak. the best from the baptism was hands down the bbq rack, meat fell out of the bone and sauce was bombed. fries were a bit too salty, but still good. the nachos and diablo steak were hard to finish. the afteros were in what looked like mozzarella next to 3-4 slices jalapenos. the chips were gray-ish and stale, made edible only with acidic sawn and guacamole. I ordered the diabelo steak with the Tenderoin cut. in the danger of sounding fussiness, I ordered the meat well made, although it came medium rarely. if they also want to dissociate from the reality of eating **** meat, make sure they say the server twice. my man thought the meat was perfect for medium-sized rareness. the actual problem with the diablo steak was the sauces and side. the maismic basic is very clear aji amarillo, a Peruvian pfeffer puree that we use in most of our dishes. it is spicy, but not too sharp. the combination between Aji flavor and the mezcal butter/hot sauce was not good. I don't think the sauce(s) was too sharp, they just didn't work. the sauce on the vegetables further compromises the meal (they were also very small and small portioned). we both think that the court would have been much better if kartomas (or maic) were replaced with a tasteful but more neutral rice (or something to convey the aromes). the plate otherwise felt like a college student dinner covered with sauce to hide the food actually taste. in short, meat was bombed. drink card is solid. the personal is friendly. the place is alive. avoid them afteros at all costs. diablo is meh and not worth the"
