I joined my friends for dinner at Agave. It was our first visit. The food was excellent. Sterling and Link were the kindest service staff. Answering all of our questions. My cup was never empty and the table cleared as we went. The Tequila cheesecake ended our meal perfectly and was a great recommendation. It was an excellent night and we will surely come back again. Loved the atmosphere too! Thank you !

I really wanted to like this place because it looks nice and has good reviews, but unfortunately the experience didn’t live up to the hype. Our waitress seemed like we were bothering her or that she was just tolerating us, which made the service uncomfortable. The food itself was disappointing. The Mexican rice had a strange taste, and the fajitas came with very few sides and toppings compared to what I’m used to. Overall, the flavors were off and not enjoyable. For the atmosphere, it’s a nice-looking spot, but for us, the food and service didn’t measure up.

Let me start off by saying, I waited to come to this place on my last day of my trip expecting for it to be a great experience, and I’m so glad I did, because it was! Our server Madison was great! So nice, attentive, and helpful. The food was great, the drinks were great, they even sang happy birthday to my baby boy. I definitely recommend this restaurant. The food was DELICIOUS, the chef’s sauce is AMAZING. The asada tacos are so tender, I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m in ATL. The DMV has nothing like the service we experienced at this restaurant, again MADISON WAS GREAT!

It’s TACO TUESDAY !!! Stopped by for taco just on this cloudy Tuesday !! No wait but was a nice crowd of people. Sat at the outside full bar . Happy hour had drink specials and the platters was half off !! All types of meats chicken steak shrimp pork . My favorite has been the steak ones but I’ve tried them all . 3 rices to pick from . And two beans . Nice and vibrant atmosphere. It was our bartender second day and she was awesome but I forgot her name . Anywho go check them out !!!

Friday night at Agave Bandido was so much fun. Our bartender was super attentive and gave the best suggestions. We just missed happy hour, but the prices were still on par for a night out in Dunwoody. I got a hibiscus margarita and it was amazing. The empanadas as an appetizer, cheese dip, and churros for dessert were enough to fill two people. The menu is. It super extensive, but it has enough options that you and a guest can find something worth trying. It was a beautiful night so we sat at the outside section of the bar. The decor inside was indicative of a Mexican restaurant. We ventured upstairs to the speakeasy after dinner and that was the cherry on top of the night. The tiki theme was super cute and observable everywhere you looked. We sat in a cave. You read that right; a cave. There was enough space in there for at least 10 people. We had more drinks and enjoyed a few hours in that space. Both areas had good music and good service.

So didn’t do a whole lot of investigating went on the Thursday night to find out that it’s ladies night they drink free during happy hour so it was a little crowded little crazy but we got a table right away. Our server was more than accommodating for our family and the food was excellent.

Great atmosphere and setting. Great location in dunwoody Service was quick considering a busy evening Food was ok. We love Mexican food and this was like Americanized Mexican! Hot sauces and salsa were not hot enough. The food taste was just ok. Cost for quantity is not justified. Overall the food was a let down. But if you up there for happy hr or something probably a great place to grab some drinks.

Finally got to check out Agave in High Street. We came on a Thursday evening around 7pm and it was definitely a turn up vibe in the bar area. People were singing & dancing at the bar. We were seated right away inside away from the bar but there is outside seating as well and an inside & outside bar seating area. The music selection is A+. We are both not a huge fan of Mexican food but we love supporting Dunwoody and its developments/restaurants. Our food came out so fast after ordering, we were both in shock. We ordered the Chipotle queso dip with adobo chicken, Elote street corn, and my husband got the Steak quesadilla. They gave a good amount of everything on top of the complimentary chips & salsa. The Elote street corn order comes with 3 corn so plenty to share. When we finished our meal our server Jillian informed us about the Speak-Tiki that's on the top floor & she brought us up there to check it out. Video & picture attached. We plan to definitely return on a Friday or Saturday to enjoy Maya Speak-Tiki. I definitely recommend this restaurant for the vibes, atmosphere & food if you like Mexican. Weekly Specials *Mon-Friday: Happy hour 3-6pm *Taco Tuesdays: 50% off tacos *Thursdays is Ladies Night, 8-10pm free drinks!

Hi Family, Let's get to this review. Customer service: very attentive and very responsive. The GM John is very attentive and personable. He gave us a tour of the restaurant including the speakeasy. Chef Kevin "put his foot in the food", it was seasoned down to the Mexican rice and black beans. Decor: The artists came from Miami, and the teal colored booths and black and red chairs match the art, inside and out and this is just in the restaurant. The speakeasy is Polynesian "tiki-inslired", and AWESOME. Bartender: Junaid "J" is a good mixologist. Food: there's food for everyone from vegetarian to meat eaters and pescatarians. Thursday: Ladies night. From 5-7 women pay a dollar ($1.00) for your cup/glass and drink for free between 5-7. Pull up!!!!

Avoid this place if you expect decent service or any accountability. We had an absolutely terrible experience here. The food arrived before our drinks and shots--which is already bad service--but what made it worse was how defensive and dismissive the management was when we tried to bring it up. No apology, no attempt to make it right--just attitude. We ordered shots that came after our meal, and drinks that didn't show up until we were practically done eating. It completely ruined the flow of the night. The entire point was to enjoy drinks with our food, not after we were finished. It wasn't just bad service--it was the way the management handled it that left the worst taste in our mouths. They made zero effort to take accountability or even acknowledge that the service was subpar. Instead, they got defensive and acted like we were the problem for expecting basic hospitality. With so many great places around, I'd recommend taking your time, money, and energy somewhere else. You deserve better.

This place is AMAZING!! As soon as you walk in you are captivated by the cool decor and vibes. The cocktails were 10/10!!! The server was very attentive and had great recommendations.I would consider the dishes elevated Mexican and pleasing to the eye. I didn't have a bad dish. The guacamole flight ...ugh I can't wait to go back.

I've enjoyed the couple of times I've been here. I've had the tacos, table-side guacamole, chips and a couple of drinks. The tropicoco martini is my favorite!! I did not like the Mexican Candy shot. They have 3 different rice choices as a side and I'm obsessed with the Cilantro rice. There is a speakeasy upstairs they encourage reservations it's pretty nice up there. Parking is free *fingers crossed* that doesn't change in a parking garage.

I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant a few weeks ago as the weather was starting to warm up. From the moment I arrived, everything from the location to the service made a great impression. Here's a breakdown of my experience: Location * Conveniently located just outside of Perimeter Mall * Easily accessible and directly across from the MARTA station * Has a similar feel to the Avalon in Alpharetta with vibrant, open-area surroundings * Eye-catching aesthetics and bright, colorful design upon entry Food * Nachos were generously portioned, easily shareable between 2-3 people * Empanadas were fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared * Drinks were well-balanced and enjoyable * Overall presentation of the dishes was visually appealing Service * Staff was consistently friendly and attentive * Great experience from the host stand to the server and bus staff Parking * Free and plentiful parking available nearby * No issues finding a spot, even during a busy time All in all, this is a cute place for happy hour or date night. It's open late on the weekends (2am) and has beautiful outdoor seating! As a taco snob, I'd give the food 4/5 (it's good but not authentic) and the rest 5 STARS!

WOW WOW AND WOW- definitely a 10/10 experience all around. It was our first time there, and we went for Cinco De Mayo. First impressions: the decor was so vibrant and right on theme with the restaurant. Blake was our server, and he was the bombbbbbbb. Truly, he was so sweet, so patient, and was very personable, just the right person to have as our server for our first time. We started off with the tableside guacamole (such a cool thing to watch! - see pics/vids). It was delicious and the chips were perfectly seasoned too. To kick off our evening, we ordered the Mexican candy shots. We then ordered the strawberry and the passionfruit margarita, which were amazing. For eats, we ordered the Carne Asada tacos and the Birria Tacos. DELISHHHHHH. While we were pretty full at this point, we did order one more drink, strictly because of how cute it looked! We ordered the "Chill N' Go" which is a Pina Colada Margarita. I already cannot wait to come back here. The vibes were perfect; whoever was in control of the music was doing their thing!!! We kept singing and dancing in between bites. Drinks were great, staff was really nice, and we were very satisfied with the food. So glad to have a place this dope so close to home.

I've been so excited to come here and however, it gives ambiance over quality. Sitting outside at the walk up bar on a nice day is irreplaceable. The bartender was very friendly and made a great mango mojito! Although i enjoyed my drink and will be back for more I can't say the food so much for me. The Elote didn't have my flavor. The shrimp and fish tacos were also lacking authentic flavors. It said spicy but i didn't get that. The rice was dry and the beans were just ok but i never like either anywhere.

Oh my goodness!!!! This just might be my new favorite spot!!! I went there on a nice evening. The weather was perfect so we ate outside. The decor and ambiance is very nice! The waitress was very nice and efficient. I forgot her name .. a small framed young black girl. I ordered the empanadas and taco combo meal. The empanadas were so delicious! I still dream of them lol. I had a mojo chicken taco and a shrimp taco. Both were good. I chose the Mexican rice which was so bland. So I definitely won't be getting that again. Nonetheless I will be back! My daughter had the steak and shrimp nachos!!!! The portion was definitely worth the price. Two people can eat off that order. Overall it's a great restaurant. They have happy hour as well. So I can't wait to go back!

I don't live on this side of town. If I'm over in this area I'm usually @ Nando's to eat & visit a friend. I've walked past Agave & said it looks beautiful inside. My 'next time' moment came. I linked with a friend for lunch around 1230p on a Tues. The restaurant was almost empty, but had a scattered lunch group here & there. The restaurant is HUGE so that's hard to fill midday. I've seen it super packed at night even with the outside bar stools. We had freshly cooked tortilla chips & two salsas. Very tasty. I asked for a refill & received fresh ones to go. Our main entrees looked tasty. They just seemed basic on the flavor. Inside of the chimichanga was waaay too much rice & dry meat. It needed to be more moist. I like the outside deep fried harder. No need to drizzle cheese on the outside. That's not how we do it in Southern California anyway. Right on the border in San Diego that's my hometown so I know Mexican food. The very best part was the elote corn. My friend ordered some, I took one bite & ordered more to go. I'll be back again, but not order such a hefty lunch that's $50+ total. I literally had one entree ($20), one cocktail($10-13). corn($5-8), one lemonade, & a very small side of guacamole ($4-5)

Maya Speak-Tiki was a really fun experience. I have been to Agave Bandido before but I had no idea there was a whole hidden bar upstairs. Very cute vibe upstairs and the cocktails are very good!

My husband and I found Agave Bandido after a trip to Puttshack which is a short walk away from the entrance. We decided to try this place based on the artwork we saw on the walls outside, and we are so happy we decided to give it a shot. This place was a great choice for some truly great tasting Mexican food. From the salsa choices, to the varieties of beans and rice, it was a great experience. The interior was gorgeous and so colorful. We decided to sit at the bar and were informed by the extremely kind bartender (Rowbear) of all the specials this place offers, as well as that the upstairs of the restaurant is a speakeasy - which we definitely plan to try in the future! There is a shared parking garage for this shopping/entertainment center which is only a short walk away. We each ordered a drink. Mine, a Tropicoco Martini that I had on the rocks - while my hubby ordered the Azteca which very closely resembled an Old Fashioned. We were both torn on what to order as all the food options looked so good. We settled on a taco plate and a bike your own burrito plate. Both were so flavorful and the presentation of each plate was pure perfection. The pricing of all the food is quite reasonable for the quality in which you receive. Can't wait until we get to go back!

Agave Bandido caught my attention on Instagram and Tiktok. I have been very excited to try this restaurant. The food and drinks looked pretty good. So let's get into it. This is located near Perimeter Mall in a plaza about 5 minutes from the mall. There is garage parking that is free. It was kind of difficult to find. I can't say I would find it quickly again. Lol! The decor of the restaurant is very nice. I love all of the decor throughout. It did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and helpful going over the menu. The drinks were really good. Our shot was pretty good. The El Jefe margarita was suggested. The drinks did not disappoint at all I was very much a fan. The bartender did a great job. The food was just okay. I was expecting it to be more flavorful. It was a bit bland. The birria tacos only came with the compote. It did not come with any sides. You could add for additional price. The waitress said the tacos would be enough. I can be full off a kid's Menu. I was still hungry so ate more chips and salsa. The chips and salsa was not complimentary. The chips were okay. The salsa could use a dash salt and pepper. Overall, I would come back for drinks and just hang out. I wouldn't eat here or not right away until there is some improvement with the food. It wasn't bad just lacked flavor.

9/10 Amazing new place in Dunwoody with excellent customer service by Trai and even better food! I loved the ambiance of this restaurant and the menu was not too intense but had amazing choices. We started with the chimmichurros that were melt in your mouth, homemade. It was hot and fresh on a bed of lettuce with the sauce. It comes with two and that's all you really need. The birria tacos were amazing, seasoned well and the perfect amount of cheese pull. The churro ice cream sandwich had me in a pinch. I was SO full but I couldn't help myself, it's definitely meant to share and not for one person unless you're a big back The ONLY thing I didn't like were the margaritas being in a small glass. $13 for like small margarita to me is kinda unreasonable and they put so much ice in it.

Service was great and the ambience is really nice. I enjoyed my cheese dip with the chorizo added, but I thought the chimichanga was just okay. The chimichanga just really reminded me of a loaded burrito from chipotle or something. Which, for a burrito is great with the rice and all. But I like a chimichanga just flash fried with meat and two types of cheese & some good hot sauce to dip it in.

A new addition to the High Street Community. Mexican food amongst a Tequila Bar. Service, especially in the bar area, is on point as the bar/serving employees mesh well together. Authentic food with a twist of new-era recipes provides a good variety of offerings & good prices for the portions. Throughout the week - Happy Hour, All You Can Eat Tacos on Tuesdays, Ladies Night on Thursdays ($1 for unlimited drinks) & the Speakeasy experience upstairs. Inviting decor with great energy throughout the restaurant.

Good location for a girls night, date night or solo vibe at the bar. Free parking in parking deck. Bar has seating inside and out. Good flavorful drink options but they come in smaller sizes and not the common larger size you get from some Mexican restaurants. The food could have more seasoning. Guac can be made at the table which is a nice treat but not needed considering the amount for the price. It was seasoned well. Pina colada was a cute drink and tastes good but more coconut and garnish than drink. Speak easy upstairs to keep the evening/night going! Feel more of a lounge than traditional speak easy but in a good way.

I had a great time at this hidden gem of a Mexican spot! The decor is super funky and vibrant, with a mix of traditional and modern vibes. The real surprise? The upstairs speakeasy! It has such a chill, intimate vibe, perfect for sipping on unique drinks. Parking is just a short 30 second walk in the High St. deck. Upon walking in, the hostesses were very helpful in getting me seated while I waited for my group. We started downstairs in the bar area. The happy hour (3-6pm) is a steal, offering great deals on both drinks and food. The margaritas are perfection, and the tequila-infused espresso shot? Pure genius. It's the perfect combination of kick and smooth. We then went upstairs to the speakeasy which felt like a tropical, secret island type of vibe! They have a group drink served in a treasure chest that's filled with smoke--such a fun, theatrical experience! I also ordered the Tropical Oasis which was great. Add in the great music and laid-back yet lively atmosphere, and I'm definitely coming back for more. Highly recommend this spot for good vibes, excellent drinks if you're in the Dunwoody area.

First time trying- had a bit of trouble getting there with the parking garage under some construction so make sure that you give yourself enough time! Got the cheese dip and the adobo chicken fajitas were delicious. Our server was really nice and helpful. The restaurant is super cool inside- a lot of murals.

I dined here with my family this Sunday (11/17/24) for lunch. Parking for here, Nando's, and Putt Shack is all in the same garage. Plenty of space and the garage is immediately adjacent. It was not very busy at all, but I hope it gains popularity. This place is pretty awesome in many ways. The decor is absolutely amazing. The theme is Day of the Dead. See pictures. It's just awesome. Me and my family (wife and two teenage daughters) were seated immediately. Zaria was our server and she was super nice. She came to our table quickly and got our drink orders. Zaria is extremely friendly and attentive. We got the chips and salsa for $2 and that was well worth it. We all four agreed that mixing the green and red salsa was the way to go! My wife and daughter shared the chicken fajitas. Upon Zaria's recommendation they got a side of cilantro rice. My wife loved the rice and they both loved the fajitas. My other daughter and I shared chicken quesadillas and they were amazing. Best I've ever had. My daughter agreed. We say several premium cocktails being brought to other tables and they looked really cool. Overall, just a top notch experience. Go to see the fantastic decor, stay for the food and drinks. Just a very cool place. I bet it catches on and does well. Zaria is a great server, and this place just seems well run. Keep it up and we have a winner.

Visited the speakeasy upstairs and it was so cool! The vibe was intimate yet fun, and the service was great with a solid selection of drinks. I've also eaten at the restaurant downstairs before--the food was amazing. Definitely recommend making a reservation for the speakeasy if you plan to go!

My bf and I came here for a casual night out and experienced the absolute worst service with Imani. The food was actually decent but due to the dismissive nature of our server from the very beginning we will not be back! Awful.

Absolutely love this restaraunt! During the first week of opening, my friend and I were leaving Nandos next door when one of the managers stopped us and asked if we wanted to tour their speakeasy, Mayatiki. We agreed and he gave us half off drinks. I don't remember the name of the drink I had but it was really good and I absolutely love the vibe of the speakeasy. Last night my friend I decided to try out the restaurant downstairs. We ordered guac and chips and the server prepared that for you table side. For our entree my friend had the steak fajitas and I ordered the mix & match combo where you can choose which tacos you want. I ordered the carnitas and the adobo chicken which came with rice and beans. Both tacos were great but the adobo was my favorite. Definitely will be back at this restaurant soon. This is place will be a great attribute to the Dunwoody/Sandy Springs area.

First time here and it was cool. The service was a 8.5/10 overall. The young lady at the hostess stand when we arrive did not greet us. She was actually on her phone, until I spoke to grab her attention. However, OUR server was a 10/10. I don't remember her name, unfortunately. She was a sweetheart though. The aesthetic was interesting and different. Clean inside, and they opened the windows, and door to allow fresh air to flow. The food (my opinion) was OK 8/10. I've had better Mexican food. My mom taco bowl came out very likewarm, which is weird because we went for lunch. It was about 2 PM so it was very dead inside and all of our food should have came out extremely hot. Anywho, I have the shrimp taco and birria tacos. I also had 4 margaritas (the drinks aren't too strong, but it got the job done). They did taste good though. I'll visit again whenever im in that area, but im un no rush. 3.5/5 OVERALL

This place is amazing. Decorated beautifully love the painting on the back wall and the light fixtures. Server made the best margaritas we've ever had. Happy hour is such a great deal too. The tacos were my favorite that I've had in Atlanta so far! Salsa and the Barbacoa were spicy and delicious. Will definitely be back!

Agave Bandido has a solid menu with flavorful options, but I felt some dishes could use a bit more spice. The chicken in my burrito bowl was a little fatty, but overall, the bowl was good--just lacking some heat. The mojo chicken had great flavor, though! The barbacoa burrito was very good, but like the bowl, it could have used more spice to elevate it. The drinks were definitely a highlight! The piña colada margarita was smooth and refreshing, while the spicy strawberry margarita had the perfect balance of sweetness and heat. Overall, a good spot with tasty food and great drinks, but if you like spice, you might need to ask for extra! The restaurant is decorated beautifully and our server was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. (Chips and salsa are not free at this establishment.)

This may be my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Atlanta metro area My friends and I grabbed a drink and snacks at the bar before heading up to the "Speak-tiki " The bar staff were all very friendly and we received amazing service. The Paloma I ordered was the best I've had. We also split queso dip and empanadas. Everything was SO fresh and delicious. I can't wait to return.

A nice find in the new Ashford High Street area in Dunwoody. There's a large parking deck right next door, and easy access. I was shocked to see the bar so full already at 5PM on a weekday - but I guess more people know about this place already! The server was really sweet but a little rushed as she was also looking after a huge happy hour party event. Drinks were great, and we'll look forward to coming back to try more.

Stopped by Agave Bandido strictly for their Happy Hour, and I'm so glad I did! The $6 happy hour drinks are a steal, and they do not skimp on quality or flavor. I tried the HH El Bandido and HH Orale, and both were fantastic--balanced, flavorful, and just strong enough to keep the good vibes going. The atmosphere was lively and fun, perfect for a post-work wind-down or casual evening out. The bar staff was super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. One huge plus is the free parking deck right outside--super convenient, especially when you just want to relax and enjoy yourself. By the time I left, I was definitely feeling very happy--those drinks did their job! Even though I didn't try the food this time, the menu looked tempting, so I'll definitely be back to explore more. Highly recommend Agave Bandido for an affordable, fun, and stress-free Happy Hour experience!

A friend and I stopped by for drinks and good food. Being from Texas, I noticed they served Barilla tacos. So, I ordered them. How disgusting were the tacos? The barilka meat was over cooked and tough. The cassamme looked like bbq sauce, and it smelled burnt. Once I tasted it, it was burnt. The waiter took the plate to the manager, who immediately went to the kitchen. Welp! No barilla . The Lychee Mint Mule was pretty good since I am not a drinker. I replaced my meal with quesadillas. They were awesome The place was nice. I would love to visit at night while sitting at the outdoor bar.

So this spot popped up on my radar and I finally had a chance to slide through. The first time I went was for happy hour and I was not disappointed. They also have a hidden bar upstairs! So its definitely worth a try just to get the experience of going into an attic after walking through a bookshelf lol. So first it's going to be in a shopping district. Similar to the Avalon if you ever been to Alpharetta. There's a courtyard and plenty of little nooks and crannies. They're building it out so there's going to be plenty more in that area coming soon. They have a parking structure that's free parking. I don't know if it's going to stay like that, but I hope it is going to stay like that for quite some time because we already pay enough to park in Atlanta so we don't want to pay to park outside of Atlanta LOL. Even though the mall is right there in the mall does have paid parking as well. So let's just see what happens. Before I get to the food, I want to get into the upstairs hidden bar/speakeasy in the building. The name of the upstairs bar is Maya Speaktini, and you won't know its there unless you know its there... if that makes sense lol. You have to go through a bookshelf in order to find it, so you may have to ask some people at the reception desk about it. But you go upstairs and there is a spacious but more intimate bar experience. They have a full bar and their own menu. There are plenty of tables there and they have little rooms that you can pull a curtain and duck off if you want some alone time with your party. The bartenders there, super cool! The last drink I had was the Forbidden Ruins and it was good too, they had good presentation (they set leaves on fire for extra razzle dazzle lol). I dont think you can do food there, but that is what downstairs is for! They will tend to you at the bar and try to accommodate, so I really appreciated all of the customer service as well. Back to our regularly scheduled program...I came in there for happy hour (3p - 6p M through F) and happy hour is actually really solid! You can get a myriad of different tacos, at least 8 or 10 different types of tacos, and they're all for about $4. Very reasonably priced. They have a couple of different shots that are on special for happy hour. And they have a bunch of drinks, well not a bunch but enough drinks for happy hour that will keep you interested. I had a margarita, was pretty good. Food: Carne asada taco - the taco was damn good. The first time I came I had 4 of them. Mad tender and super flavorful. The tacos come with some pickled vegetable so there is an extra tang to it. Adobo chicken taco - tender and juicy and very good. Barbacoa taco - these were just as flavorful as the carne asada, fall off the bone (if they was a bone lol) Shrimp taco - this taco came topped a little different. It has its own sauce to it and maybe like a pineapple puree,so it's fairly sweet. Queso dip - this was good. The pico tasted really fresh on it. Had a nice kick too. Only thing was the fact that it felt like 5 minutes after they put it down, the cheese started to get firm (you know how cheese gets when it gets cold). Chips and salsa - chips always come out hot and I appreciate that because that means they had not been sitting around in back all day. Come with 2 salsas as well. The place looks a lot bigger on the inside. When you get on the inside. You can't tell how big it is from the outside but it is super spacious and it's very appeasing to look at. The decor is really nice. A lot of art on the walls, it'll definitely be a good vibe if you're kind of interested in taking some pictures for social media. Interested in taking some pictures for social media. This could be a clutch place to go to happy hour for me so I would definitely come back!

Friday night at Agave Bandido was so much fun. Our bartender was super attentive and gave the best suggestions. We just missed happy hour, but the prices were still on par for a night out in Dunwoody. I got a hibiscus margarita and it was amazing. The empanadas as an appetizer, cheese dip, and churros for dessert were enough to fill two people. The menu is. It super extensive, but it has enough options that you and a guest can find something worth trying. It was a beautiful night so we sat at the outside section of the bar. The decor inside was indicative of a Mexican restaurant. We ventured upstairs to the speakeasy after dinner and that was the cherry on top of the night. The tiki theme was super cute and observable everywhere you looked. We sat in a cave. You read that right; a cave. There was enough space in there for at least 10 people. We had more drinks and enjoyed a few hours in that space. Both areas had good music and good service.

I'm giving this place 3 stars for the ambiance and staff. James our waiter was awesome and really ensured we had a great experience. They didn't have frozen drinks so I got a passion fruit sweet tea which was magically delicious. The salsa and chips came to the table as he waited for us to figure out our order. The salsa had no flavor whatsoever but the chips were fresh. The homemade guacamole was made to our tasting at the table in front of us. The chipotle queso was ok but wouldn't get it again. I ordered a chimichanga and it didn't have much flavor and was too dry to really enjoy. The food lacked taste but the restaurant is a vibe. There is a speak easy above it that is reservation only so be sure to check it out.

Ok this bar too me by surprise!! I was in the area for some chicken next door and I was asked to wait for 20 mins and I decided to get a drink at the bar here meanwhile!! The place is a full on vibe. Reminded me of this bar I went to in Boston. Very chic Mexican. I love the interiors, the music and the service was good. But what really too the cake was the fabulous cocktails !!! We found out they also have a speakeasy downstairs! Can't wait to check that out. Parking was easy. Next time I'll come here for dinner.

Our first and last time here. It wasn't terrible it just wasn't very good. Parking is easy and free in the garage below. Super convenient across the street from Perimeter mall. Atmosphere. I would have sat at the bar but husband didn't want to. Probably would have been better cocktails. Chips and queso-- more like the velveeta cheese dip I grew up with than white queso dip. Cocktails. It took thirty minutes to get our cocktails. Two tables beside us that got there after us both got their cocktails first. So maybe that was waiters fault. First cocktail was strawberry margarita. 75% ice. Average taste. Next one requested light ice and got the spicy margarita. Definitely more cocktail but not super good. I would guess they put in half the alcohol or less. A great way for a bar to save money. Ordered the barbacoa quesadilla and it was ok. Not great. I would say superica is much better for atmosphere and food quality. It was not awful but not was it anything to return for. It might make it bc it's in the middle of a bunch of apartments so super convenient for many. Maybe try if you want something new, but don't expect to be wowed.

Interior: Friendliness of server: Speed of service: Taste and quality of food: Ordered mojo chicken fajitas and chips/salsa. Chips are the mass-produced kind you get in the grocery store. Tomatillo salsa tastes like it came from a jar and tomato salsa just tastes like canned tomatoes, and the salsas are served in plastic cups. Not great for chips and salsa you have to pay for. 30 minutes to get fajitas. Flour tortillas pre-made and wrapped in hamburger paper. Chicken thighs used for meat and very meager portion for toppings. Taste was awful. 30 more minutes for a drink refill. Then 20 minutes to get the check.
