Great atmosphere and staff was super. Decor is clean and modern and there is a nice large parking lot. Menu is detailed and has a lot of variety. I can only give 3 stars because I was willing to pay $32 for an entree of 12 prawns (as described on the menu), but what I got was 12 (mostly) large shrimp:( Seriously???!! I cannot believe they advertised the dish as prawns and, since there are no sides that come with this dish, that price should have DEFINITELY only been for PRAWNS!!! Very disappointing and makes me not want to even go back to try something else on the menu.
I like their interior, especially the painting. The food come a bit slow and there is a delayed order due to the food get in to the wrong table( according to the waiter explanation). We had a corporate dinner of 11 ppl and it costed around $69 each after tips n drink. I got a Baja fish taco, not too bad in my standard.
The Torta at the Mexican cost about 20$ and the bread is dry. If you do order make sure you have lots of water for the dry mouth after biting into it. Service is decent it only took about 15 minutes for a high chair. When I asked when they seated me. They really don’t checkup on you to see how you doing First and last time I’ll waste my money here.
More than a 3 less than a 4 stars. Came here with a group of 9 for a birthday dinner. Drove past this place hundreds of times and never thought to stop. They have a huge building that can accommodate 50+ parties and even park-let style outdoor seating attached to the building. Our server was on point with our party. He checked in on us and made sure all of our food was correct when it was brought out to us. They didn't mess up a single order. I ordered a beergarita (pictured), honey had a regular and others at the table had mango margaritas. The regular margarita glass was smaller than the mango margaritas. All of the margs we're meh. Nothing to call and Uber over. When trying new Mexican restaurants always start with the carne asada, if their carne asada is not strong, the menu won't be strong either. I had the steak wet burrito and honey had the steak, chicken, and shrimp fajitas. The fajitas came with a lot of veggies and they were good too. Both were good and tasted familiar. Someone in another review said it good enough to go back but nothing to crave and I couldn't agree more. Once we left we found out the same owners of Metro Taqueria own this place. Which is why the food tasted a little familiar. Will definitely come back.
Everything was great except the oysters was really small but good
Service was great, atmosphere good but my dinner mediocre at best unfortunately. Asada was dry and over cooked, beans the same. Ordered the molcajete combination. Disappointed, as I'm new to the Bay coming from LA. Looking for some good places to eat. Would come back for and appetizer and drinks if anything.
The food is delicious! We had the Colorado, Chili Rellano, Steak Fajitas, and a Carnitas Wet Buritto. We ate it all. The salsa and chips were not that great and they don't have blended margaritas. We will be back for another meal but have drinks and chips somewhere else first. So many things we want to try next on the menu. Probably better not to sit so close to the bar as patrons were pretty loud. Service was slow but we were not in a hurry so we let it slide.
I stopped by here as I was in the area and absolutely loved this place! We ordered a couple of craft cocktails and a few appetizers. The cocktails were delicious and unique and I can’t wait to come back and try the others! The ceviche was fresh and delicious and they were very generous with avocado and shrimp! I usually see other places skimping a bit on ceviche toppings so this was awesome! We also ordered the small tortilla soup, which was very comforting and a little more filling than I had expected. The chicken was cooked well and the broth was flavorful. Other things to note: they have outdoor seating available with heaters above most tables. They also have a large parking with ample parking spaces.
