The bar program

Margaritas, cantaritos, cocktail flights, and the Mi Nina Pina Martini. The drinks here get talked about as much as the food.

From the kitchen

Murals, papel picado, and a covered patio

The space is something else — Día de los Muertos murals, a glowing Metztli neon sign, and a covered outdoor patio with papel picado overhead.

The food was amazing. We were the only people on the patio. Perfect weather. The margarita Monday was amazing. We had the guava, kiwi, and mango margaritas and the mojarras. We had the best time. Perfect hidden gem on 4th street. Run. Don't walk!

My fiancé and I live in Louisville Kentucky and we decided to stay at the edge on 4th Street for our first anniversary weekend. We went to this restaurant on Friday night and it was so cold so we just went here and it looked so cute. As soon as we walked in we felt like family we were served immediately seated an immediately and we told them it was our anniversary. They came out with dessert and shots and singing and dancing for us! This was an amazing experience at 10 out of 10 recommend you.

I’ve been here about 5x and every time I come I get the same thing, the power bowl. It’s delicious, the customer service is great as well as the atmosphere. My food always come out fast and fresh. The complimentary chips and salsa are very tasteful!!! I recommend this to everyone.
