The Golden Globes Awards Dinner Goes Completely Vegan - Eater LA

"Antojitos Cocina Mexicana has taken over the space previously occupied by Camacho’s Cantina in Universal CityWalk. It offers a vibrant Mexican dining experience." - Mona Holmes

Came for dinner recently and was surprisingly impressed. Came a few years ago and would agree that this is a 3-star restaurant as the food was not good. The ambiance was great and food also much better. Enchiladas were great, tortilla was a little stale/overcooked on the ends but that was fine. Beans and rice were also good. Staff were prompt and amicable. There was no wait time.

Came to universal studios and wanted some Mexican food. This spot did not disappoint. The steak in my quesadilla was amazing. Seasoned well. So yummy. Highly recommend. Beautiful restaurant.

This place successfully met my expectations. Post theme park, my friends and I were looking for a solid sit down restaurant with decent food. Antojitos did not disappoint. We were seated right away, (to be fair, it was 4pm on a Wednesday), and our server, Douglas, was super attentive and a really nice server. The atmosphere is really enjoyable. It's got a modern cantina vibe with a lot of really cool decor and a ton of neon lighting. I ordered the carnitas and my friends ordered the taco salad and birria tacos. The portions were okay and the prices were decent, ($20-$30 per person), considering that it's in the heart of citywalk. The sides were a little lacking and the tacos scaled pretty small. My only complaint is that I wish the portions were a little bigger, especially the tacos. The food was honestly really light, though, and felt relatively clean. I didn't leave the restaurant feeling like a greasy slug which is always a huge win in my book. This was my second time here and hopefully not my last. I would recommend this place especially if you're looking for a cool restaurant to chill and grab a bite to eat near the universal park.

Had the Baja Snapper tacos. A little too much batter. Also not enough crema. Ok flavor. Blackberry Margaritas delicious! Server Bianca was attentive and would ask for her again.

I was pleasantly surprised by this spot at Universal Studio Walk. While it may get average reviews, the food is far above typical. This is not your average Mexican restaurant, every dish was well executed, full of flavor, and served piping hot. The tequila selection is excellent, with options for every taste, and the service was prompt, attentive, and genuinely friendly. A well done dining experience from start to finish.

This is a decent Mexican restaurant. It is over-priced for what you are getting, but that is to be expected next to a theme park. Our service was great, and the portions were perfect. They were nice enough to try and go dig up some ketchup for my youngest in the back of the kitchen.

It was great! service was good. Tommy is in a wheelchair we are visiting from out of town. Loved the food drinks where good. We expect to pay a lot of money for food around here it was a good time. Ordered the mini chimichangas with birria it was delicious and my wife dipped her steak quesadilla in the same sauce. Tasted delicious!

Gross food. Fajitas were mostly onions, no fixing such as cheese or sour cream. I’ve never been to a Mexican restaurant where you had to pay for chips and salsa. Bean dip was great! Salsa was bland and taste like it was poured out of a can. The rice had no flavor. The service was pretty good as a manager kept trying to check in, but the food was just blah. I will never return and I highly don’t recommend.

The service was fantastic! Servers were super sweet. But the food was questionable. I had high hopes because the jamaica and salsa was super amazing. The food I saw from other tables looks great too! I ordered birria tacos and I think it has potential, but the tortillas need to be grilled on a stove before putting the meat in. Overall 3/5 because the energy wasn't overwhelming and the servers were great.

We came here for Valentine's Day dinner. It wasn't busy at all since we went in rather early. We ordered the chicken nachos. First look, nacho cheese and black beans, squirt of tub made guac and barely any chicken (which is way extra). Nachos weren't even warm, they feel like they had been sitting on a food warmer for a while. Since we were in a hurry and hungry we just nibbled. They needed salsa which I had to ask for. Had to ask for basics like napkins, salt n pepper. We also each ordered the chicken tortilla soup. This was a paste, not a soup. Covered up with so many strips of tortilla chips, it was really gross. No flavor, very thick and cheese was so thick and stringy it was just all around a hot mess of a so called soup. Our waitress hung out more at the hostess desk rather than waiting on tables. I asked to take my drink with me and she brought a to-go cup, but left me with about a 1/4 of my cup full. I had to track her down to get a refill, something a customer shouldn't have to ask for it should be a given. As we were leaving there was a man who said goodbye and appeared he was a manager of sorts so I asked what type of Mexican food they were serving, where it originated from. He said it used to be a lot more authentic, but that they had to change it to accommodate tourists. Then proceeded to mention it must be ok because they are making 6m a year. That's insane because food is very crappy. Service from our first experience was not great, and the place wasn't even busy on one of the busiest night of the year! I wouldn't recommend this place for Mexican food. I can't speak for any drinks, but they are pricey from what I could tell and looked small. Most of staff just appeared to be standing around and doing the least, not friendly at all. This place used to be so good back in the day. Sad to see it had turned into such a tasteless mess. We couldn't even order an entree because everything was just horrible with apps. You have to pay for chips and salsa. Hence the 6m in revenue!

Stopped by for lunch while visiting Universal Studios Hollywood. Ordered the quesabirria tacos and rojas enchiladas. Both dishes were very good and flavorful. Service was great. Our server was super friendly and attentive. We got to sit in one of the "birdcage" table which was pretty cool. Really like all the decor and vibe from this restaurant. It has now become one of our favorite restaurants to dine at Universal Citywalk. Good food, great service, and nice atmosphere. Can't beat that!

To begin with, we stood around for about 7 min waiting for a host. We asked the bartender if a host was even working when someone finally wandered over. No apology for the extended wait time. We sat outside which was nice and didn't have to wait long for our server. We got water, Cadillac margaritas, chips and guac to start. My daughter ordered a strawberry lemonade which she said was delicious. Chips and guac and margaritas were fabulous. We ordered our food, pollo tacos, pollo burrito, and combo fajitas. The food was good, the steak in the fajitas was good, my husband said the chicken was over cooked. It would have been nice to have plates for the fajitas. Lime and sour cream would have done wonders for the fajitas too. The kids devoured their food. All in all it was a solid meal option after spending the day in the park and eating the limited options in the park.

We so enjoy City Walk that we decided to go back on a cold and windy afternoon this weekend. After the shock (again) of the $35 parking fee, we found a space very close to the escalator and were on the concourse in minutes. Looking at the many possible places to chose from (and there are some big and yet unusual eating spots, like Bubba Gump and the Chocolate Emporium) we settled on Antojitos -- I had been considering it for awhile. Let's start with the good: it's clean, beautifully decorated, creates a fiesta atmosphere with little thoughtful touches and folkloric elements everywhere you look, it's big, there are many places to sit, and the food is actually very good quality. It smelled good inside, fresh and foody -- that was good. Being vegetarians, much less vegans, limits what one can have. One thing we discovered is that all the rice, all of it, has chicken broth. Why? I have a suggestion for the owners: serve ALL the rice withOUT chicken or any other kind of animal fluids in it. Believe me when I tell them, there is delicious award-winning rice all over the world that does not have animals in it. Think about it, por favor. The service was great. The receptionist was a bit chilly but our server, Virginia, was very efficient, helpful, friendly, and concerned about us having everything we needed and that we were enjoying the experience. We did for the most part. Here is something a bit strange: we were given no spoons. Every dish we had could have used a spoon and some required it. We had already asked Virginia for other things so we thought we would just go to the bar and quickly get ONE spoon. Nope! They had to request one (and only one) be brought to us from somewhere else. what the ... ?? Also, the napkins -- they generously gave us four each, black soft paper napkins that went with the vibe. However, don't dare use them on your clothes should you drop something on them, why? They left a black smudge wherever the napkins were used. I still don't know if we can get it out of the fabric. The portions are good; the flavorings are inventive and tasty; the tables are comfortable. However, the place is all hard surfaces and very echoic -- we had to shout to hear over the clatter. Virginia brought us containers for leftovers, including some for the sauces we ordered, and a crisp, clean, roomy shopping bag. Nice. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience. I think it could use some tweaks (spoons -- be generous with them), truly vegetarian options with no hidden animals in the ones that seem vegetarian, some sound attenuation maybe on the ceilings (they could hang colorful absorptive baffles, for example), napkins that don't shed dye on customer's clothing (!!), and maybe validate some of the parking? Like, a few dollars off or something? Just a thought ... curious to see what you all think.

Came here after a fun day at universal. We were seated right away. Our waitress was SOOOOO amazing. She was really attentive and really knowledgeable with the menu. I ordered the horchata cocktail which had bourbon in it. It was the most perfect drink ever! Not too sweet and had the holiday feels. I also ordered the taco salad as my entree. It was solid... But nothing crazy to rave about. We also decided to share the soup... but that did not taste good at all. We ended up sending it back and they were kind enough to comp it. Overall, a solid dining experience, especially their cocktails!

Good Mexican food on universal city walk! shockingly surprised because quite frankly i was not expecting it. our server Karen was great so attentive and friendly. We arrived before the chaos lol I will say this, they have AMAZING drinks i was hooked on their Tamarindo margarita! its was perfect! i had 2! food was delicious. taste was spot on and it felt tasted like it was home made. the cook is doing something right back there. we had their enchiladas rojas and the burrito the carnitas. they were the recommendations from the menu and they did not disappoint. bare is located at the entrance to the restaurant to the right side and it does a full circle. their decor is modern and lively. didn't really get to tour the place that much because we left shortly after our meal. can def. see myself coming back when in the area.

Soem Amazing food and friendly service. I had the carnitas which melted in my mouth. My son had cauliflower pastor tacos, he couldn't tell it wasn't meat. Chips and salsa were amazing, but you do pay for them. Also, sometimes it take a bit for a host to greet you, so have patience.

I've stopped in at Antojitos over the years, and often it's busy with a long wait, but most recently, I lucked out and there was no wait! IMHO this is the best place to eat at CityWalk so it makes sense it's often the most popular spot. Sitting outside is nice if you want a relaxing patio setting. I usually sit outside but this time the weather was just too sweltering hot. So I went indoors this time, which was just right and has more of a cool, more dimly lit cantina-like vibe. Our server Hector was just chef's-kiss wonderful. He was so great and nice and made sure we got everything we needed/wanted. He carded me and my husband, which I was super flattered by (it has been a while LOL), so don't come here if you're underage and want to try to sweet talk your way into getting booze, not gonna work. We had a Classic Mojito and a Paloma (with Tajin rim as Hector suggested) - both superb and delicious. For food, we got the Guacamole & Chips to start - the guac was plentiful and deliciously cool, the chips were fresh and warm (yay!), and I was glad this came with a nice salsa as well. We also got the excellent Tinga Taquitos which came with guac, pico de gallo, and sour cream, and a Cup of Tortilla Soup that was oh-my-lord perfect, doesn't skimp on the chicken or cheese or flavor. I loved the molcajete-style bowl it was served in and its matching spoon - such a thoughtful presentation. I can't imagine how enormous the "Bowl" of soup would have been though, because by "Cup" was exactly the right amount for me as a meal! Hector asked us towards the end of our meal if we wanted to get some water to-go - we did not (were already well-hydrated by his attentive refills throughout) but thought this was such a nice and thoughtful offer, especially on such a hot day. Delicious food and drinks and excellent service - highly recommend!

I love popping in here anytime I go to city walk, whether it's before a movie or if I need a break from the park, this is a good place to get a cocktail with friends and some really tasty tacos. I sit exclusively at the bar because I'm a solo adventurer, and each and EVERY bartender is always so attentive and kind, even on their busiest of nights. Pro Tip: their Queso Birria Tacos are fire!

Delicious authentic tasting food with good portions. A little bit on the pricey side but worth it for the atmosphere! There is unique seating and beautiful decor. Service is decent but busy since it's in a big tourist area.

Food was mid .. came in today on what I'm guessing was a very slow day . There was maybe 2 other tables there with people at them and food still took awhile to come out . We also ordered chips and salsa as an appetizer and didn't get it til about 20 minutes after ordering . Wasn't all bad though everyone was kind food wasn't horrible just not amazing . Got the job done of getting our belly's full but left wishing we had just gone to the place across from them .

Avoid at all costs! Side dishes arrived COLD, meat selections were over-cooked to the point of Beef or Chicken JERKY, the salsa, cilantro sour cream, and cheese were tasteless. Servers were all hanging out with the hostess or cooks, but they never came to the tables. And someone tell the staff that just because we did not address you in Spanish doesn't mean that we don't speak and understand Spanish! Watch what you say! Drinks were heavily watered down (is there any tequila in that drink??) Described as "authentic Mexican cuisine", truth is, this is another example of industrial cafeteria-food. Makes Taco Bell look tasty.

Karon was just the sweetest person ever. I had the tostada which was delicious two small ones on plate with some rice. Our light was flickering when we first arrived but by the end of the meal all was well. Perfect spot for Mexican in City Walk.

It was our group of 4's first time here and we had an amazing experience, mainly because of our server Hector. He was friendly, absolutely hilarious, attentive, had great knowledge of the menu, and never let our chip baskets and glasses go empty. We went with his recommendations for the blackberry margs (ended up ordering multiple), chips and salsas, queso birria tacos, and churros. They were all so yummy! So sad we didn't take more pics. We will definitely be back and request Hector! Thanks, Hector!

My friends and I stopped by Antojitos after exploring CityWalk. The ambiance of this place makes this a fun stop for a drink! We ordered the Pineapple fire and ice margarita, Partida pear margarita, and mango chamoy drink. All the drinks were tasty and gave us a good buzz. Crowd favorite was the pineapple fire and ice margarita - Sweet and spicy! We also ordered the Nachos with carnitas. The chips were a bit thin so they would break easily but it was a good snack to share for the 3 of us. Service was fast and the bartender was friendly and attentive! Overall, nothing crazy special but a nice spot to share a drink with friends.

First time at this place and it was overall a good experience. Party Size - 7 (4 adults and 3 kids) Ambiance - one of the local hot spots for sure. Very IG friendly!!! The noise level was buzzing and the drink menu focuses on Tequila drinks, which you would expect from a Mexican restaurant at Citywalk!! Food - De-Licious!!!!!! I got the burrito with chicken and it was delectable for sure!!! It was a great portion and it was served with all the fixings that you would expect. Within my party we also had a chicken quesadilla, mole enchiladas and a couple of their Taco Salads! No one complained about their food at all and we all were scraping our plates by the end of the night! Service - The service was good but not amazing or great!small improvements could go a lonnnng way for this restaurant. When our food came everyone got their food except 1 person and it took about 5 mins for their food to come.....nothing is more awkward than everyone waiting to eat because we don't want to be rude waiting on one person to get their food!!! Additionally we ordered a second round of drinks when our food arrived and they did not arrive until everyone was completely done with their food. Overall Experience: I would rate this place a solid 4/5, and WOULD come back for another experience here!

First, the location, ambience are great. Nice place to sit back, have a drink, enjoy with friends, and people watch. Also, the service was great and our waiter was very nice. The food is another story. For the price I was expecting better food. Felt like it's all pre made and they are just reheating it. I had the chile relleno with rice and beans. The chile was bland and the rice and beans came out warm almost cold. If I was not so hungry I would have complained. My wife had the birria bowl and it tasted watered down. If you are looking for a place to sit back and enjoy a drink this is one place. If you are hungry and are looking for something savory to fill you then keep on going.

Definitely a sub par "Mexican" restaurant. Granted, it is city walk so you aren't necessarily there for the food scene. I went with just one other person. They ordered the veggie fajitas and I ordered the chicken tacos with cheese enchilada. Her fajitas came out almost ten minutes before my meal. The fajitas (of any type) don't come out of the kitchen sizzling. The veggie fajitas are drowned in a soy sauce which makes no sense. They also brought her toppings plate out five minutes after they brought out the fajitas. My tacos were nothing impressive. Chicken was a good flavor but mostly dry. The rice and beans were mostly flavorless. The cheese enchilada was not cheesy. It was basically a tortilla with a bit of shredded cheese melted inside... I took a photo of its disappointing look. They have the capacity to seat large parties. Will I eat here again? Nope.

Interior on this restaurant is fantastic. Lots of great designs to keep your eyes moving. Food is good, but was hoping for something stand out. But honestly, any strong flavores would bring this establishment down because of being on Universal City Walk. #spicemeister approved.

Antojitos is located at the Universal City Walk. Aesthetically this place is pretty cool and very trendy. However, the service was really underwhelming. When we checked in at the hostess stand at 7:30 she said it was going to be a 15 minute wait so she grabbed my name and number. We were waiting outside and just having conversion outside when I realized it had been quite some time. At this point its 8:19pm so I go to the hostess stand and I said we have been waiting almost an hour and I haven't received a call or text. She states oh we were wondering why you guys were waiting outside all that time-- what's your name-- I say Nicole-- she says oh we don't have that name. I told her "uhh ok I gave my name and phone number to the other hostess with blonde hair and glasses," she then says she can seat us right away. So once were seated I kid you not we were not greeted or acknowledged until 8:39pm which was 20 minutes of being seated. My husband had to ask the busser if we could get a server. Once our server approached we knew what food we wanted and drinks. I order a specialty Halloween margarita immediately and the server says, "the hostess should have told you last call was 20 minutes ago." I looked at her and simply said, "WOW ok" because we had been waiting forever so I just ordered water and I didn't complain. We also ordered food. She returns 5 minutes later and says I'm going to have the bartender make you the drink since you guys have been waiting. I assume the hostess let her know we were waiting quite a while. So I give an extra star for making my drink but it would have been nice if it was comped but yet again like I mentioned really underwhelming customer service. As for the food it was mediocre for the pricing--I did the enchilada and the pollo tacos for $19.95. It sounded like it would be a good size with rice and beans on the side but the dish was pretty small. I was left with more to be desired. I thought it was also silly you have to pay for chips and salsa when most Mexican restaurants serve it complimentary. Overall, this place fell short in more ways than one. I don't see myself coming back.

Been here twice now and had lunch here this afternoon for our second visit! Super, super good Mexican food. Not sure how we haven't tried this place till recently!! The Mini chimichangas are a must but also their chips and salsa! Super fresh chips and perfectly salted. The salsa has quite a bit of a kick, more than usual. The service is great and their decor is beautiful. Love sittin out in their patio because you get to experience and see the CityWalk views. The tamarind margarita and the bourbon horchata are one of a kind and definitely a must try. We also got the Birria tacos which were fantastic and one of the best we've had. The burrito and carne tacos along with the Rosa enchiladas were delicious! Gotta finish with their churro sundae because it really hits the spot. Their churros are perfectly cooked and sliced up into perfect bite size bits. Great spot and one of our favorites! IG: @ammysalamii

I wish I could give this place more than 3 stars, but I'm not sure I can. First, what Mexican place doesn't have chips and queso? We asked for chips and salsa with queso as we saw queso on the menu. Supposedly the chef didn't want to give us just queso. The "big man" talked to him and said to go ahead and just give us queso as we are paying customers. We appreciated it! We ordered to go because we wanted to eat at our hotel. It took a long time to get our food. When we got our food, we had 3 small containers of queso, but no chips or salsa which is what we ordered. We asked for chips and salsa and got the chips, but no salsa. We were too tired to ask for the salsa again so we left. The food did taste good! I ordered the taquitos and they were crazy delicious and flavorful! I ate them so fast! The queso was average. The chicken tacos my boyfriend ordered were good too with pickled onions and jalapeños on top.

I love Antojitos! One of my favorite restaurants to visit during a trip to universal. They have great drinks and delicious food. I love sitting outside and people watching while taking a break from the park. The quesabirra tacos are a must! Our server was also very kind.

Went around 4pm after Universal, ordered the nachos, burrito, carnitas plate and enchiladas -- food was good. And servings were proportionate. Service was good, they did not have a lot of customers around that time so the staff was attentive. Might be busier during peak hours. The ambiance was good, not a lot of loud music and my family and I were able to chat during our meal. Will come back when in the area :)

This restaurant had a lively atmosphere with interior decor that set the perfect mood for drinks and good food. Although we only ordered chips and guacamole, the chips tasted stale, lacking that nice fresh crunch. The drinks were excellent, and we enjoyed two rounds--the blackberry margarita was the standout. Our server, whose name I can't recall, was energetic and provided fast service.

A perfectly nice place to grab a bite as you wait on your movie time. It's a huge place with a ton of seating, a big menu with a lot of options, and a nice enough space to sit for a bit. The service was very spotty; the server was nice, when we saw him, but he was MIA for long chunks of time, and there were only about 5 tables filled... we'd just go 5-10 minutes at times without seeing any servers anywhere. The other tables seemed to be looking around for help too, at times. The food was decent. It wasn't exactly SoCal good Mexican food, but pretty chain-y and ultimately, hit the spot. Can you get better service and better Mexican food elsewhere? Absolutely. But probably not at CityWalk.

How the mighty have fallen. I've eaten here several times in the past, and it used to be one of my go-to places in CityWalk. I was quite disappointed by my most recent experience. My boyfriend and I shared the free appetizer (chips and guacamole) with two entrees for passholder appreciation month in September. The guacamole portion was really small! We also ordered combination fajitas; the flavor was only ok. The one good item was salad. We ordered the Ensalada. It was surprisingly tasty! To add insult to injury, they don't even have free chips and salsa anymore. In general, even though our server was quite busy, the service still left much to be desired. All-in-all, I may come here in a pinch, but it definitely will no longer be one of my go-tos.

Came for lunch before spending the day at Universal Studios. Solid options for drinks and if you're just trying to load up on food before a day in the theme park. Food: Everything seemed to be great for sharing. We got the carnitas nachos which was huge and tasty. The chips and guac were also solid. For my entree I got the al pastor tacos which i didn't realize came with three tacos. The meat was a little tough and overall they were okay tacos. Drink menu though was really good so come here for drinks and appetizers if you must! Service: Seated right away and our waitress was nice and attentive. Ambiance: Right in the heart of citywalk and we sat outside during a nice day. The inside though was cool; had a ton of seating and bar areas. Great for big groups and families. Water: Had to ask for refills but didn't take long to get them.

This place is on the City walk at Universal Studios. It looks like a great bar, and was nice to be able to get seated right away. We lucked out on a slow day. Our server was a sweet woman, and I enjoyed being the atmosphere. As for my drink, I'm pretty sure the bar tender didn't know how to make my drink properly. It was terrible. I could barely drink it, but I did because of the price. I ordered the chicken mole. It was just okay. Nothing to write home about. I can't say I will want to come back here, I am glad we were able to try it at least once. I'm sure there are other places on the City walk that are way better. Just not my cup of tea I guess.

Went to universal and decided to check this place out. Food & Drinks 4.5 out of 5 I ordered the birria tacos entre and my husband ordered the carne asada tacos entree. The birria tacos were pretty packed and came with 3 tacos with rice and beans. We received a complimentary guacamole and chips because we were universal pass members. The guacamole was delicious. We ordered an antorita and tequila sour. My only complaint is that the Antorita was a bit strong and not mixed well. My husband enjoyed the Tequila Sour. Service 5 out of 5 We came around 1pm on a Tuesday. It was a bit busy and there was one main waiter running from table to table. Our waiter was very attentive and patient. He answered all our questions and went over the menu with us. Food arrived timely to our table. Ambiance 5 out of 5 This restaurant is cute. Indoors there are bamboo hut like tables near the bar. It feels very cozy. There is an indoor and outdoor seating area. Nice place to visit with a group. If you are looking for some Mexican food and drinks after Universal then check this place out. Food and drinks are good!

We stopped in for dinner. Thankfully there was no wait. The staff was nice and accommodating. The food was standard Mexican food, which was seasoned pretty good. Order: kid's quesadilla, chicken tacos, cauliflower tacos. I would go here for convenience, but not a first choice.

First, I like to thank the wait staff and manager for trying to help us with our difficult situation we were having. They are awesome so extra star for that. Now the food: We ordered a kids grilled chicken meal which he ate up he's a very picky eater so for that. While you look at the menu you will notice only one burrito on the menu which surprised me but I guess you could interchange the meats? So we ordered the birria tacos which was the softest taco I ever had. We couldn't even pick it up to dip it. We also ordered the nachos which are awesome to look and to eat they are great. The chicken was a lil dry, other than that, they tasted good. We also got the Al pastor taco plate. The meat again was a lil dry, had good flavor, but a lil dry. The restaurant is very nice, a little loud, but other than that it really cool with an open kitchen concept.

Not a bad restaurant in studio city whatsoever, the inside is a mexican/tiki vibe, and it's one of the very few who take reservations! Menu was a bit pricy but you have to expect that due the area. We were able to eat two appetizers as entrees before entering the park and it was perfect.

The restaurant looks very appealing, it looks modern and very trendy. They have glass mirrors for their kitchen so you see them cooking away. Plenty of tables and bar area is in the middle. We were a group of 3 seated right away. Food was good, nothing super amazing for us. Drinks were good and strong. Our server spilled soda on our table, and onto the floor. They cleaned it pretty quickly but it was still visible. Service wise it could be better, no one came back to check on us, refill waters, we had to ask a couple times for napkins and our bill. Good enough for a meal after visiting the park

This place gives me Salsa and Beer + Kalaveras vibes!! Love the bright and unique decor! I had high hopes for this place but was a bit of a disappointment on my end. Drink and appetizer I ordered was not up to par. I would give them the benefit for of the doubt and try them again. Will keep you posted!

We came here before seeing a movie at the AMC at citywalk, food is delicious and came out fairly quickly! Drinks are delicious and margaritas are decent sized, and they have tons of options. Sometimes even specialty drinks based on amc movies, when we went they had a special wicked drink. Servers are very attentive. I would definitely come back
