we decided to order all tacos plus the chicken croquette so did not use Amex love dining discounts, a bit wasted
liked all the tacos- beef, prawn squidink, dory fish..the sisig belly pork so so..
croquette so so too nothing like la tapiera or foc
$26 cocktail rather ex
lovely ambience and vibe..an enjoyable evening will come back again
