Antiguo Lobo

The food is great and the presentation is done well. It's a nice change from typical Tex Mex fare. The street style tacos and delicious and everything is fresh. Only complaints is the service was a little slow and the music is too loud to hear much from your guests if your sitting inside, so not the the greatest for a business lunch.

Our recent visit to Antiguo Lobo-Chamblee was just as delightful as our first. The food remains consistently delicious, fresh, and flavorful. From the appetizers to the entrees, everything we tried was a hit. The restaurant's ambiance is inviting and relaxed, making it a perfect spot for a date, a night out with friends, or even a solo dining experience. We were lucky enough to be served by Pedro once again. His exceptional service and expertise on the menu made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Pedro's recommendations were spot on, and his friendly demeanor added to the overall atmosphere. Pedro goes over and beyond to make sure we are having a wonderful experience, and he is extremely accommodating. He’s awesome!!! 🤩 If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in a welcoming environment, Antiguo Lobo-Chamblee is a must-visit!!!

My husband and I stopped in for drinks and appetizers on a Saturday night. It was busy but there was no wait. Good vibes in the place. We had the infused skinny margaritas, the strawberry and tamarind. Both were delicious. My husband loved the beef consome soup. It was very flavorful but he wished it had more meat. My caldo de pollo soup was a bit flavorless, especially in comparison. Not a bad visit though. We'll be back.

Really good experience , Barbara was our server, and always visible. As a matter of fact the entire wait staff was around, chatting, working, always moving. Awesome to see. Chips and salsa, fresh and amazing, my enchiladas were great and filling even though the plate appeared small. The nachos were a lil missing more of a variety of vegetables, but really good nonetheless. Recommending! Thanks!

Sunday Lunch... Greeted as we entered, the host was friendly and very happy. Chips and Salsa was definitely better than most chain Mexican restaurants. The Esquite (street corn) was mid, nothing to write home about. The Steak Sombrero Bowl had good flavor, but the steak arrived semi cold, but the overall presentation was good and it tasted good. The waiter had quite a few tables inside and outside, but managed to make us feel as though he was being attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. He was able to present options that he favored and then options that were common to patrons of the restaurant.

Listen.: This is one of the best beef burritos I have had in Atlanta. And I eat a lot of burritos. After a labor intensive job I love to grab some Mexican food. And they are great. Flavorful. Margarita was good. Atmosphere and music volume good. I had a friendly warm waitress. They have a little patio. Good queso. Fair priced. Enjoy what a place like this is suppose to be.

We selected nachos and tlayuda from the menu this dining experience. Both were excellent, and although the meat was very tasty, our thought is it might have been better cut into smaller pieces considering it was a topping. The sauces were very good as well as the salsa and chips. The suggested drinks were most excellent. Carlos was entertaining and very service oriented. Looking forward to visiting again! Parking is available in the rear. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Just another most wonderful meal. A couple of Mezcal's, Steak Taco Plate and Steak Nachos. Make sure you ask them to thin slice the meats. Most tasty!

food was good but service was terrible. Went in Tuesday evening and was seated immediately. However, our 2 servers just sat at the high-tops at the back and chatted with other servers for most of the time

Antiguo Lobo exceeded all expectations--10/10! We visited on a Thursday night with a large party and made last-minute reservations, but they accommodated us easily. The service was excellent, but the real highlight was the food. The salsa to start was spot-on: perfect consistency with just the right amount of heat. I tried the Ponche Margarita (a holiday special), and it was amazing--fruity but not overly sweet. The enchiladas verdes were outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and can't wait to come back!

I had a good experience at Antiguo Lobo Mexicano & Agave Bar in downtown Chamblee. Simply put, this place has good food, good drinks, good service, and a fun vibe. Antiguo Lobo opened in July 2021. It's from the same family behind a bunch of Mexican restaurants in metro Atlanta over the past several decades including the Monterrey and El Ranchero restaurants. Antiguo Lobo is Spanish for ancient wolf. The restaurant doesn't have dedicated parking. My friends and I parked for free on the street. A couple of us parked around the corner on Chamblee Dunwoody Way. Another parked on Peachtree Road. The Southbound lot across the street is off-limits to Antiguo customers. This place is popular. I don't think they generally take reservations. It's first come, first served. However, during our visit, I saw them combine two tables in the back and put "Reserved" signs on them. Maybe you can make a reservation if you have a large group. The tables are small here. We visited on a Thursday night for dinner. It was busy and at one point, the dining room was completely packed. The atmosphere was fun and lively. It was loud, but not too loud. This isn't a big place. The bar and dining room are colorfully decorated with neat artwork and fixtures and cool ambient lighting. To me, it's a well-done, modern version of a casual Mexican restaurant. The food and drink menus offered a nice variety while at the same time were relatively streamlined. Along with an assortment of tacos and burritos, Antiguo also featured small and large plates with items such as Esquites (Mexican street corn, $9) and Cochinita (pibil, Yucatan-style slow-roasted pork, $18). Drinks included cocktails (margaritas, mostly $9-12 each) and beer. $10-13 lunch specials are available Monday-Friday, 11:30am-2:30pm. Three of us split an order of the Steak Nachos ($14) and the Molcajete El Monstruo ($40) and it was more than enough food. The portion sizes were large and filling. The Steak Nachos were delicious. You can ask for the steak to be cooked to a certain temperature. We asked for our steak to be rarer because the last time one of my friends had this dish, the steak was too well-done and tough for their liking. It turned out great. The strips of steak were savory and tender. There was plenty of steak along with queso, guac, crema, pico de gallo, lettuce, and tomato. Overall, this dish was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The Molcajete El Monstruo was perfect for sharing. I've ordered molcajetes at various Mexican restaurants over the years. They're all a little different. What made Antiguo's molcajete unique to me was its relatively-compact presentation (but still, a lot of food) and the large amount of tomatillo cream salsa in the molcajete itself (it looked like a soup). Maybe the compact presentation is due to Antiguo's smaller table sizes. I'm used to molcajete spreads taking up a lot more room. Antiguo's molcajete came with strips of steak, grilled chicken, and grilled queso fresco plus grilled shrimp and slices of tomato draped around the edges of the molcajete. Corn tortillas, wrapped in foil, were underneath the molcajete with a plate of rice, refried black beans, and chorizo on the side. This dish also came with green onion and nopal (cactus). Everything was delicious. Like the steak that came with the nachos, the molcajete steak was tender. The chicken could've been more tender, but it wasn't bad. I think they used breast. Decent smoky flavor. The tomatillo cream salsa went well on everything. My favorite part was the chorizo (flavorful) and I also really enjoyed the rice and beans (appetizing). Overall, this was just a solid-quality molcajete. One thing they could do is throw in more tortillas with the molcajete. I think there were only four. We went through them quickly and had to order more ($2.50, I believe for four as well). You have the choice of corn or flour. We ordered more corn. The complimentary chips and salsa were really good. They have a refreshing and mild-tasting salsa that's just the right balance of chunky and runny. The chips were fresh and medium thickness, so not too hard and crunchy and not too delicate either. I ordered a house margarita, La Loba ($9), and I loved it. It was nice and strong, but it didn't taste that way. It was ice cold, refreshing, and hit the spot. La Loba is made with el Jimador Tequila, lime, agave, and Combier liqueur with a Colima Sea Salt rim. It was a really tasty margarita and I was very happy with it. One of my buddies got a Dos Esquis Ambar Especial draft beer ($6). When we visited, Antiguo had six beers on draft including a couple local brews from Contrast Artisan Ales (Chamblee) and Tucker Brewing Company. Service was great. Our server was Jimena and she was terrific. So was everyone else we interacted with. One of the staff noticed my friend didn't have a place to put her purse and my rain jacket. He grabbed a rack for us and brought it to our table.

Food 10/10. I had shrimp tacos and my mom had the barria tacos. We had cheese dip and chunky guacamole as appetizers. The salsa was great and flavorful. Chips and salsa come to the table when you arrive. A little spicy For me, but I'm sure for the normal person just fine but it was so good I couldn't stop eating it :) Jamie was our server and he was excellent. Bartender made the best drinks! You can tell he takes pride in what he does. If we're back in the area we will definitely be coming back!

First of all, who doesn't love free chips & salsa? Many Mexican restaurants don't do this anymore so I am very appreciative when one does! Antiguo has been one of my go to spots when I don't have time to cook. It's majority whole foods depending on what you order, and it's tasty. The carne asada (steak) burrito is the best burrito I have ever had in my life! Although this is the only thing I get (haha), the other menu items do look great. Staff is always welcoming no matter how empty or busy the restaurant is, and the vibe is just always great. Love this little spot.

Great lunch specials Mon-Fri 11:30-2:30pm - great food, nice service, fun atmosphere. I'd like to come back for Taco Tuesday so I can overindulge :) MAYA - $13 Flame-grilled skirt steak (soft, great flavor - not chewy like most skirt steak), mixed greens salad, rice (very good - maybe cooked in chicken broth?), beans, tortillas. FYI they need to update their online menu which says the dish is $11.95; my friend ordered the El Speedy OG for $10 (online menu says $8.50). COMPLIMENTARY CHIPS & SALSA Ok. FYI parking available on the street and behind the building - however do not park across the street ... clearly marked signage. And stop by the Personify boutique store next store - cute gift ideas, jewelry, and clothes.

Drinks and food were really, really good! It's a little bit pricey, but thats expected for the area, and again the quality is there. Would definitely go again

I love this place. Elevated and tasty Mexican food in a fun atmosphere. I had a shrimp taco and a birria taco. Wife had a steak taco and pollo. Food is delicious and flavorful here. Margaritas excellent also. Great place in what is becoming the hip town of Chamblee. Staff is friendly.

The food drinks and atmosphere were great but the service was even better! Jose was the best bartender and made some amazing margaritas! Can't wait to come back!

My experience at Antigua Lobo was disappointing. I went on a Thursday evening. It was packed and crazy loud inside, so we sat outside. Someone came over and brought us water after about 10 minutes. It took another 10 minutes or so for our waitress to come over to take our drink order. The bar was so backed up that we finished our app before our 1st round of margs made it to the table -- we ordered the "infused skinny" margs (cucumber and strawberry) which were delicious, but seemed like they had very little tequila in them and were basically juice. It took an hour to get our food and the tacos were truly pitiful (see the pics). Our server was nice - she was clearly doing her best - but it seems like the restaurant just sits waaay more tables than it has the capacity to serve, and the customer experience suffers as a result. I will not be back.

Great place, location, service, and food! Birria tacos were amazing! I would definitely get it with the consome versus the bean dip version! The hibiscus mark was also very good! my husband got the Paloma and he enjoyed it!

The food here is great! It was absolutely delicious. It is a very small space and it's incredibly loud. You'll have to pretty much scream over people if you're going to have a conversation. I don't know if it's because it was a Friday night, but the wait staff forgot a lot of things. They brought our food out and they did not give us silverware-we had to ask for it. My husband had ordered a second beer and it had been a hot minute since we saw our waitress. We were able to flag her down and she told us that they didn't have anymore. So we just didn't get a second beer. If you're going on a Friday night-get there early. They have parking in the back but it's extremely limited. There is street parking but with the other places near by, there's basically no parking.

Great outdoor setting, making my way inside to great music! TV's with different sports/ news channels. Friendly bartender and waiters. I asked for suggestions, recommendations and help with the menu and was finally able to make a decision. I chose correctly! I was warned, but I chose this spicy drink Peach Vato & Shrimp burrito! Everything was great! I'll be back for lunch again!

So the tacos here were pretty good, I am 101% going to come back. I've been on a regular day, and then I came back on a Tuesday. Tuesday was so worth it! The tacos are street taco size, but they are awesome. Well at least, I enjoy them. The spot is decently sized, but if you go around the back there's a patio that shares a bunch of the establishments that you can sit at. Has a TV, has a bunch of picnic tables, enough seats if you want to sit outside. They have a full bar, a lot of tequila obviously lol. They have some outside sitting in the front, only a few seats there, but if it's a nice day it's worth it I believe. Street parking is pretty much the way to go so just keep that in mind. Birria ... These were super solid! The consome was Rich in flavorful, the tacos were cooked very well and had a soft crisp to them if that makes sense. Super flavorful! Octopus... These were okay, I really wouldn't order them again though. Had a little too much of the octopus flavor there, not what I expected but I had to give it a shot! Carnitas ... Thoroughly enjoyed them. Even though they were street taco size they were pretty median filled with flavor. Cochinita ... Not what you would expect, but they were good. I actually ordered another one while I was finishing the first one they were that good. This one's a pork based one so if you're not into that, probably don't want to do this. Chorizo ... The chorizo was really good. It was tangy and spicy and had a little bit of a bite to it. Not too much to where you want to enjoy it but just enough to know that they seasoned it very well. Picadillo... This one was pretty tasty as well. Look kind of weird, but it was beef that was season. Only difference between this and the regular tacos is the fact that it comes on a different shell. Everything I've had here Taco Wise has been good. I would definitely make this a regular spot for Taco Tuesday for me.

We've had this place on our list of places to try for a while. It's a nice location and atmosphere but that's about all it's got going for them. The food is missing so much flavor. The margaritas are weak AF. And everything is overpriced for the portions you get. My margarita was $11 and I did not taste any tequila at all in it. We also ordered the 2 taco specials with rice and beans and found out once we got our food that due to the fact we got the vegetarian one, which they said was more expensive than the meat ones, that we could not get the 2 sides that came with the meal, only 1, which is bullshit! It was $14 for 2 tacos and a small side of beans. WAY OVERPRICED! We will never be going back to this location again. The guac was also flavorless and this place is not worth it at all for the price, portions & overpriced alcohol that's weak. 0/10 would recommend!

I only wanted to leave a review so I could express how helpful and talented Barbra was as a server. The food here was as good as always, but I wouldn't have known how delicious the cuisine is here if Barbra didn't guide me to choices that fit my tastes buds. I'm coming back not just because the food is divine but because the service here is exemplary.

Lovely ambiance and delicious food. Like, SERIOUSLY delicious. I had the Enchiladas de Cochinita, which I've been dreaming of ever since. My vegetarian partner had the hibiscus tacos; they were refreshingly different and quite tasty. And the drinks? Gorgeous. We tried the La Loba, El Mebin, and El Maracuyas; they were all perfectly strong, unique, and yummy. I'll admit that the service could use improvement, but I would never hold that against the kitchen. The esquite was a bit too mayo-heavy for my tastes, but that also contributed to it being a rich enough portion for two people. A great date night locale, which I never thought I'd say since graduating from Chamblee high lonnnnng before the area was hip. I highly recommend Anticuo Lobo and am looking forward to my next visit! Get the Enchiladas de Cochinita!!!!

The Adobado tacos are usually my go to. Very good taste. Decided to try the steak tacos. Super disappointed. Totally bland with no charring or seasoning of the flank steak. The steak pieces were way too large for a taco too. The venue has been consistently way too loud with their background music. Multiple times the waiter has had to ask to repeat our requests because they couldn't hear over their music.

Got the birria tacos and a steak burrito. The seating outdoors was lovely, and the service was very quick. Birria is delicious, came with all the fixins for someone craving a juicy taco, it was a little oily but overall hit the spot. The burrito on the other hand was not as good. There was something wet inside that ruined the entire bottom half, unable to finish it.

If I could, I'd give this place 3.5 stars, but I'm gonna round up rather than down due to a nice atmosphere. Today was my second impression. Earlier, maybe a week ago, I came and tried three different tacos. Hibiscus, Birria, and Gobernador. I liked the Birria best and today I had a hankering for tacos, so made my way over for another serving. I found the hibiscus taco to be surprisingly tasty, and the Gobernador wasn't to my preference - very creamy, very melted cheese forward - but others might like it a lot. The meat itself of the Birria tacos is very tender, slow cooked brisket with a nice exterior char. I think my mistake the second time around is that I loaded it up with too many side items - beans, rice, salsa, cilantro, onions, lime - when perhaps a little bit of onions and cilantro and lime, just a little, would've been better. I will say that ordering individual tacos makes more sense. $4.50 per taco (mind still reeling from inflation) is better than $15 for what turned out to be 2 tacos and a lot of rice. That math doesn't math for me. You get decent gratis chips and salsa, including a refill for the salsa in its own little jar. Also a decent drink selection, though when I ordered a beer, they didn't bring me a water automatically, so now I've consumed more calories from a second beer (a choice, I know) rather than being hydrated for free. The little things matter. Don't worry, I walked here.

Normally, I am pleased with the experience here, except for today. We waited for one hour for a table. We had 12 people and were told there was a 30-minute wait. However, we waited over an hour. A large group of people arrived and were given a table immediately. When we confronted the host about why they were seated before us, he couldn't give a satisfactory explanation. He then lied, claiming they had made a reservation on Sunday, which we later discovered was not true. Honestly, we felt discriminated against. They allowed white patrons to walk right in and gave them a table while we, as Latinos, had to wait an extremely long time, which ultimately resulted in us leaving for Los Bravos Restaurant. It really made us feel as we are not the same social economic class; therefore, we left.

Decently busy place on Tuesday night. The guacamole and salsa were good, but tacos were not the best. Decent service

Great find! Our Bartender Brittnee was, is and always will be fabulous. The food was outstanding, delicious and fresh. Highly recommend even after only one visit.

I went here once and wasn't a huge fan due to the poor service but I will always try a place twice. Tonight I came with my boyfriend for dinner. We had Barbara as a server and she was amazing. Attentive but didn't come to our table a crazy amount. Gave us great recommendations, and completely changed my perspective on the restaurant. I will be back and if she's there I'll be requesting her! Thank you Barbara

First visit here for dinner with the family. Really liked the atmosphere. Service was friendly and on top of everything. Found the food to be really enjoyable....the salad with mango, green apples & grilled chicken was tasty, the chicken taquitos were ridiculously good - super crispy with cheese on top (horrible for you but oh so good!!), the brisket birria was really tasty. The corn tortillas were floppy, but the brisket was super flavorful. The accompanying rice & charros beans were just so-so. Will definitely be back again!

Came here to have lunch with a friend. We sat outside to enjoy the sun. When I arrived, my friend had already gotten her food. I planned to get something small to snack on, however, our server never came back to check and see if I wanted anything. My friend was nice enough to give me her water so I had something to sip on. When the waitress finally came back outside, she didnt stop by us, we had to call her over. It was too late to order something to eat since I had to get back to work. I might try this place again but I would sit at the bar.

I was super excited to try this place but it really missed the mark for my husband and I. I love the vibes and aesthetic inside though and our server was incredibly friendly! We came for lunch and had the guacamole, street corn, and Taquitos. The street corn was definitely the best thing that we had and I would get this again. I saw online that the guacamole was chopped up style instead of a creamy guacamole so I was prepared for that however, it tasted more like a very bland pico de gallo and had little avocado in it. We also got the Taquitos but they were also bland and the meat inside was very dry and had a strange consistency. Not sure if we caught them on a bad day.

Second time back to this restaurant and the food was ok/good. I enjoyed my chicken mole. The bartender was great and made some good drinks. A good place in the Chamblee downtown area.

Super overpriced for food that isn't even good. We had a party of 2 at 7:15 on a Wednesday night and they were packed. Service was good and quick, but the food is really lacking. Here's what we got: - La Loba ($9): Truly, I can make better margaritas than this. Wasn't a fan. - Guacamole ($10): It wasn't what I would consider guacamole. The ratio of avocado to onions and tomatoes was way off. There weren't enough avocados at all. - Birria Taco Plate ($14): The brisket was good. The rice was so plain. - Steak Taco Plate ($14): The steak was good. Again, the rice was so plain. My husband said the beans, with hot dogs, was average. For those prices and that food, we will not be back, especially when there is other good Mexican food in the area for wayyyy cheaper.

Was in yesterday early evening and unfortunately very disappointing experience. I am one who does not like to leave a bad review but this is solely for the owners in hopes to turn this place around. I had not been to Antiguo since they opened and at that time the food was so good. Yesterday it took 15 min for someone to get our drink order after the time we sat down ( we were one in three tables at the time) the chips and salsa were the only good thing we had during our visit. My chicken bowl was disgusting. The beans were like still either frozen or just very cold, the rice on my dish and my friend's dish cold, the chicken had zero flavor and also.... Cold and chewy. My friend's chicken tacos... cold no flavor one was even missing the crema that the other one had ( they were the same tacos ) it's just very disappointing I hope they can get it together.

Awesome authentic Mexican food! Nice staff and great vibes. Cocktails are a big hit or miss but overall great local spot!

We just ordered take out since it's always busy on Friday evenings. I ordered a steak quesadilla, steak burrito, and chicken verde enchiladas. Our order also came with chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were on point and probably the best thing we had. Steak burrito was very good as well. The steak quesadilla was okay but our least favorite was the chicken verde enchiladas. Although the chicken was well seasoned, we just didn't like the taste. Some of the dishes came with a refried black bean side and the flavor was also not good. I'm not sure if we will order take out from here again but we're glad that we finally got the opportunity to try antiguo lobo.

Finally got around to coming here. Let me just tell you to go ahead and order the guacamole. It wasn't your ordinary guac and it's so much better. It's fresh with small chopped up avocado pieces, fresh lime juice, pico de gallo and some cheese I don't know the name of. I wanted to lick the plate. The queso was a little on the runny side but still good (just add the jalapeños in it). Draft beer was cold. Service was great. I loved being able to do Apple Pay instead of handing over a credit card and waiting for them to return. Greer vibes, great guac and a place you need to check out.

This is by far my favorite Mexican spot! Food and drinks are outstanding and the vibe is awesome. Sit at the bar and meet Brittany, the hardest working and coolest bar tender in the city.

The food is delicious, and the drinks are strong. We went as a day date , and the service was great! It was the perfect place to have lunch. The doors open so that you get a nice breeze from the outside. Would definitely recommend!!

First experience here was very underwhelming. Ordered the chicken mole. Mole was bland and chicken was overcooked and tough to the point of being like jerky. The chips that came with the meal were too thick for my taste and unsalted, so they would have been as bland as the rest of the meal, if not for the salsa. I'm not fond of chain Mexican restaurants, but to be honest, I've had better meals at chains than I got at Antiguo Lobo.

This was a neat place located in downtown Chamblee. They have an amazing outdoor seating and the restaurant is quite small. One of my favorite things with this place is the drinks. They're so good and worth the price! They serve complimentary chips and salsa - I love me some salsa and theirs is delicious with a kick! For dinner, I got the gubernador tacos plate that comes with 2 tacos on a blue corn tortilla with rice and beans. The tacos itself was sweet as the shrimp came with caramelized onions but it was topped with melted chihuahua cheese so it balanced out. The flavor was meh in my opinion as I didn't particularly like how greasy everything was with the caramelized onions and cheese combined, plus the shrimp was too tough for me. It's a cool spot for drinks and I would go back to try more of their food items. Can't wait to go back to Chamblee as this part of town has really changed and there are so many more places to eat and drink!

A decent but not exceptional modern Mexican restaurant. 3.5 if I could split the stars. Not disappointed in the meal, but doubt I'll be back. We came dinner on a Friday before the crowds. Was easy to get into and sat, the interior vibe is nice and modern/fun. Chips and salsa came free. They were good, but word of caution the salsa was very hot (I enjoy spicy and caught me off guard a few times). We had a house margarita and frozen Paloma. The house margarita was meh, not enough balance on the citrus and over powering on the almost smoky flavor. Frozen Paloma was a hit. For the entree had the large Molcajete el Monstruo. It was a fun thing to see come out, sizzly and smells fantastic. Portion of protein was nice, rice beans and sides were good. It only came with 3 tortillas though and we were charged for extras (not sure how you'd eat all of that across 3 tortillas).

Best drinks , anything with steak and staff is bomb !! Cool local environment sometimes have live music.

Came in a couple weeks ago with a friend for dinner. We stopped in around 6 on a Thursday and were seated right away. The parking is a little rough, but they do have some spots out back and street parking as well. We were greeted quickly by our kind and attentive waiter. He quickly brought us water along with complimentary chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were tasty and fresh! They have a great food and drink menu. We didn't get any appetizers, but they all sounded fabulous. I got two tacos - one birria and one shrimp. My friend got the tortilla soup and the elote corn. The tacos were amazing! I can't pick which was my favorite. The shrimp was cheesy and delicious. The birria was so flavorful! I would for sure come back to get tacos again!

Love the steak quesadillas. Family friendly but also real chill for a laid back happy Hour!!!

The atmosphere was nice and the wait time was good. Serving sizes were very small. No complimentary chips & salsa like most places. Food was mediocre. For the price, the value is not there. I will not be back.

The Friday night vibe in this place is lively, with diners at every table and lined along the bar, chatting noisily. The service was friendly and quick. Chips and house-made salsa were delivered to the table almost instantly. The chips were hot, crispy and fresh, and the salsa tasted great, with just the right amount of spiciness. The house margarita was OK, but was so sour and bitter that it was hard to drink. It got bussed before I could finish it. We started with the Esquites, which was a very credible rendition of the popular Mexican street food. It was just the right combination of sweet corn kernels, creaminess, tartness from the lime, and spiciness. We'd definitely get it again. We also got the Papas Bravas, described as potato wedges, beef, queso, nacho, jalapeños. They were kind of like Tex-Mex disco fries. I found them gross, but my wife liked them well enough. She got the taco plate, with the brisket tacos, charro beans and rice, and liked everything she got. I got the steak quesadilla, served with black beans and a little bit of guacamole, which was in desperate need of seasoning. The black beans were way too dry, with the texture of spackle. The quesadilla was great, though. The steak was sliced thickly, but still tender, and tasted deeply of being grilled over fire. It was also piled high inside the quesadilla, which had a nice amount of queso Chihuahua within, a proper Mexican cheese. It's too bad the accompaniments weren't any good. We finished with the delicious apple fritter, which was served hot, alongside a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream. I think it's possible to have a very good meal here, especially if they work on getting the little things right.

Good but not great. The guacamole was diced, not mashed. It tasted good, but there seemed to be as much queso fresco as avocado. My enchiladas were pretty bland, so if I got back, I definitely won't bother with those. Maybe I should have tried some of the tacos. My husband says his steak was "mediocre, at best." The good thing is that this place seems built around tequila and mezcal, so anything I (or anyone else) says on Yelp isn't going to hurt the business, because people love to drink and will accept mediocre food as long as the drinks are stiff. I had a hibiscus margarita made with mezcal and it was better than any of the food. I'll give them another chance, because menus always evolve.

This place has good food and good drinks! Plus tv's to show the popular sports games. The service is a bit spotty at the bar, maybe I should try sitting at a table to see if there is a difference. Only thing is, it's usually crowded on weekends so the bar is your best bet. I usually get the chicken enchiladas verdes which are SOOO good. Everything comes out piping hot so no cold food over here. The margaritas are crafted very nicely and compliment the meals well. Did I mention the comp. chips and salsa? Yummy! Good luck finding parking on the weekends tho.

This place could be much better. I didn't have much expectations for the food cause I knew it was going to be 'mexican' food for hipsters. Even compared to other places like this, the food is poor. The chicken and the 'cochinita' was bland and poorly prepared. Dry, bad texture, luke warm temperature. Drinks were standard. The service was quick, kind, and easy going. Place was clean. My bar stool was wobbly. Most likely will not return.

Where to begin...So many things I liked about this place. Can't believe it took me this long to finally drop in. I've been missing out. Great ambience, great decor, and great food. Scarlett was working the bar when I went and she was such a sweetheart! Will describe anything on the menu if you ask. I've been here twice and both my meals were beyond delicious! For warmer days there's outside seating which is dog friendly.

First visit today, sat at the bar. Bartender was great - friendly and prompt. Started with a house margarita with a Grand Mariner floater. Decent. TBH I couldn't discern the floater. Chips and salsa arrived hot and fresh - very good. The guacamole was a bust - a few pieces of diced avocado with a ton of tomato and onion.....disappointing. The carnitas tacos came with rice (blah) and a thimble of tasty beans....They tacos were in desperate need of freshness and flavor - maybe some cilantro and fresh onion? Cute atmosphere and great service - the food was a let down. Photos for context.

I have been waiting for this New Mexican restaurant to open in my neighborhood...and it did not disappoint. There are an assortment of seating options including plenty of room at the bar and booths for families. I had the house margarita and then a delicious concoction with hibiscus flower. Chips and salsa arrive at the table no charge which is a nice surprise these days. I enjoyed the enchiladas verde and they were excellent. The rice on the side was delicious, but I was not a big fan of the refried black beans. My waitress Chivonne was very attentive and prompt. I am looking forward to going back and sampling the tacos.

I love love this place the food was delicious the peachy vato love love. Carne asada so juicy such a great vibe.
