The Feel

You can sit outside on the patio under grass covered umbrellas, or inside. The interiors are cool and dark, with a very rustic, fun eclectic feel. Crosses, chickens and mirrors adorn the walls, and religious-themed candles flicker everywhere. The music is eclectic too, ranging from Spanish guitarists to live Flamenco dancers.
