Caló Kitchen + Tequila

"Absolutely loved my visit! The strawberry jalapeño margarita was a flavor explosion— sweet, spicy, and perfectly balanced. The chicken taquitos were crispy, juicy, and full of authentic taste. But the real star? Bridgette, our server! She made us feel right at home with her warm smile and expert menu knowledge. Her friendly vibe and genuine care took the experience to another level. So glad I found this gem-highly recommend stopping in, and definitely ask for Bridgette. You're in for a treat!

I booked this restaurant after a local fitness studio recommended it. We had a 9 person party. They immediately welcomed us with open arms. The waitress, Allison, was attentive and bubbly. She was constantly checking in on us. Jose, the manager, even came over and checked on us. The food was AMAZING. Mostly everyone got different dishes…and every dish looked delish. They even allowed us to stay there as long as needed. They were communicative about the added gratuity too. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially with a large party.

Move over Javier's! Calo has the best spicy Margarita!!🔥The drinks don't only look pretty but the flavors are bold and flavorful. We ordered seafood enchiladas, Caritas and seafood trio. The flavors were on point and the service EXCEPTIONAL!

This is a great option if you’re looking for a more elevated dining experience in Laguna Niguel. The decor gives off a luxurious feel and service is top notch. Dishes are nicely plated and generally in the range of $30 to $50. Tables are provided with complimentary chips, salsa and black bean dip. The bean dip has a smoky, satisfying flavor. I wish the burrito had something similar but instead it comes with pinto beans which were slightly lacking in flavor. Portion sizes are large and location is convenient. It is near the freeway and also makes for a quick dinner stop after watching a movie at Regency Theaters, which is one street over.

We stopped by for drinks and a few side dishes. Tried the Cadillac Margarita, Mezcal en Fuego, and Mango Caliente — all were great. The Smokey Caesar Salad, Spinach Enchiladas, and Ahi Ceviche were fresh and tasty. Loved the vibe and cozy indoor atmosphere.

The food was really good, and actually not too expensive for what it is. Came by for lunch with a group of 6 and spent a total of $42 each when we split the bill. The food seems to be made with quality ingredients. It was very fancy Mexican food, but it felt authentic. The tamale I had was awesome, as well as the enchilada. There was a little mixup with some of our appetizers, but the waiter made up for it. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

It’s been three years since I first discovered this spot, and I still never get tired of it. My girlfriend and I come here often since it’s close to home, usually stopping by every Tuesday after work. We always sit at the bar, it’s where all the action is! The staff is consistently pleasant, and honestly, everything on the menu is solid. Three years later, the Tamarindo Sour is still my go-to cocktail. This time we ordered the veggie tacos, ahi ceviche, Mexico City quesadilla, potato-filled taquitos, and of course, my favorite side grilled serrano peppers and onions. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Calo’s over Javier’s any day. The flavors and prices here just can’t be beat. Fight me!

From the moment we crossed the threshold into the restaurant, Ink knew we were in for a treat. This place has a wonderful atmosphere and a large wrap around bar centralized to the entrance. If I was there at any other time, I would have enjoyed the bar and tequila. However today was a working lunch. The patio has a wonderful view and heaters that they are willing to adjust to your preference. When we say we were treated by Kyla who was a vibrant, helpful and charming server. She provided us with wonderful recommendations and told us why she enjoyed each dish. You could feel how much she enjoyed the food and it truly influenced my choices. I had the combo plate. Kayla informed me that the short rib enchilada could be added and the elote could be put into a bowl for Easter of eating in my suit. Very thoughtful and poignant suggestions! The guacamole starter was light and flavorful, a perfect representation. My combo plate had the best chili relleno I have ever had. I travel half the country and love food, this was amazing!!! The chicken asado taco was grilled and seasoned deliciously and the short rib enchilada was stellar. The sauce and short rib were velvety however adding some of the guacamole elevated the dish with a little needed green balance. I highly recommend visiting this place and it is now on my rotation for my visits to the area.

My family had enjoyed and got the best service from Natalie. She is nice and friendly. The food was fantastic and made us the best experience. Thank you

We celebrated our sweet friend Jenny's birthday today and had the BEST service ever!! Christine was amazing and took care of us and went above and beyond in her friendly demeanor & service. She even hand wrote notes to say happy birthday & thank you. We love this place & will definitely be back!

Best upscale and unique Mexican food in Orange County. Great service. Love this place.

I have been coming here for a while and am always blown away by the service and food. I used to go to javier's and would be disappointed by the underwhelming food and service but this place blows it out of the park! I brought my mom for her birthday and Natalie made us SO special. Aside from her AMAZING care and service she made sure to let her feel special. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything and our needs were always met. Shoutout to her because good service always can make food taste so much better!

Service is generally good, and we get together here at the bar every few weeks with the boys. Good selection of tequila and cocktails. Food is good too. Got the chicken fajitas this time, and the chicken was a little dry. Ribeye skillet tacos are always a good option but pretty fatty. The interior is pretty and the crowd is always decent. Also great to take your family for a sit down dinner in there back where they have cute fireplaces. Overall great option for south OC. One thing that was weird was that we asked our bartender to split our bill by 2/3, 1/3, and they eventually got it wrong, which was strange because this should be easy math. Recommended and will keep coming back.

Kurt took care of me when i came in for a quick cocktail at the end of a long day of work. he was so genuine & even though it was just a drink i could tell he cared that i had a good experience. Andres the bartender made me a delicious grey goose tamarindo sour. staff is so friendly & works together seamlessly.

I enjoyed my date night at Calo. Tucked away in strip mall, this is a hidden gem. The food is great. I had shrimp and guacamole. The space is small, but charming. Service was great.

Decided to try something new, and was pleasantly surprised! The restaurant had a very warm ambiance with welcoming staff for a mid week happy hour gathering. Service was appropriate in terms of coming to check on us regularly and accommodating. Food was also good, decent portions (especially with unlimited chips and salsa and beans which is a Nice touch)

We honestly feel like the food and the service has gotten so much better since they opened. We enjoyed a great table out on the patio last night very dog friendly. The food was spectacular and the grilled pineapple margarita with jalapeño was divine exactly what I wanted for Saturday night Short rib, enchiladas so good . Of course they're fresh guacamole with chips and salsa and bean dip are just divine. It's almost like a meal on its own. Ton of parking . However, you really must make a reservation. We were there 6 o'clock. The place was packed. Thank God we had a reservation so I really recommend you make a reservation. If you wanna be seated immediately they do have a very nice bar as well.

First I'd like to begin by saying I am in the hospitality industry! Calo is one of my favorite restaurants. I've built a great relationship with most of the staff and they are ALL incredible! But this review is to showcase 2 managers! Krystal, the GM is phenomenal and truly understands GUEST first! I am actually so sad when I come in on her day off. Kevin is also a rockstar manger and very talented! I'm love y'all thanks for being so incredible TONIGHT!

The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous with classy decorations and a high end feel. They have a large amount of indoor seating with some huge comfortable booths along with a large outdoor seating area. Went for a weekday lunch at noon and had no issue getting a table. The service was friendly and attentive, our waters and iced tea were filled or replaced frequently during our meal. We got the camarones with the mojo de ajo sauce, burrito(chicken), and a tostada. The shrimp were massive and well done, but the dish did feel on the pricey side. Everyone gets chips, salsa, and a bean dip. I'm a huge fan of the bean dip and our table went through the dip in just a few minutes

Went for a date night with our little guy the other day- the interior was really cool! Chips were fresh and hot with good salsa & bean dip. I got the chile verde & my husband got the short rib enchiladas. My dish was very good, I liked the rice a lot and the chile verde was really filling. It was a little salty for my taste but chile verde usually is. My husband said his enchiladas were maybe the best he's had! I'd say it's overpriced for Mexican, but it has good atmosphere and we had really good service.

It's been three years since I first discovered this charming restaurant and I still never get tired of it. My girlfriend and I come here often since it's close to home, usually stopping by every Tuesday after work. We always sit at the bar, it's where all the action is! The staff is consistently pleasant, and honestly, everything on the menu is solid. Three years later, the Tamarindo Sour is still my go-to cocktail. This time we ordered the veggie tacos and ahi ceviche. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Calo's over Javier's any day. The flavors and prices here just can't be beat. Fight me!

Ok be aware that they do use a digital waitlist. So sign up in advance or if you have time to plan make a reservation. The food was delicious and complex. The flavors are very close to the authentic Mexican style but with a surprisingly exciting twist. The aesthetic is elegant and chic. The service was wonderful fast and attentive. I can't wait to go back. Ps. You can't go wrong with any of the cocktails! Fresh ingredients for sure!

Great drinks, great service, and love the food I've tried so far. My favorite is the steak salad, and their salsa and bean dip.

AR & I arrived at 5pm on a Friday. I thought we'd beat the evening dinner rush - but to my surprise, the restaurant was already packed. When I mentioned how surprised I was by how busy the restaurant already was, the hostess shrugged and said matter-of-factly, "It's Friday." LOL (True.) Let's just say, Caló Kitchen + Tequila is clearly a popular spot! Lucky for the both of us, we were seated right away at a small corner table, just enough out of the way to people-watch and enjoy the view. It was a perfect spot: close enough to the bar to feel the energy, but not so close that we had to shout over it. We were served complimentary chips, black bean dip, and salsa - all very tasty. When our chips ran low, our server Noah promptly brought us a fresh batch. Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&select=htwHig9wXh_rt3ac2d34NA Our order: Guacamole ($16) Classic table-stakes guac done right - chunky avocado, lime, cilantro, onion, tomato and serrano pepper. The guacamole was well-seasoned, and served with fresh, warm chips. But at $16, it's competing with full entrées. No frills, no twists - just good guac at Beverly Hills prices. Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&select=tvx4IinsQa_LjY1bY5dINA Pork & Pineapple Tacos ($23.00) Three home-made corn tortillas, red rice, refried beans, cilantro, onions, and guacamole. A real highlight of the meal. The pork was juicy and deeply flavorful, contrasted nicely with bright, sweet chunks of pineapple. The tortillas were fresh and didn't fall apart, which is more than you can say for most tacos this dressed up. (Thumbs up) Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&select=r-P_qNw_AWvRciqEfJaWmA Calo' Combination - Three Item Combo ($27) Carnitas Chile Relleno: Rich, perfectly crisped edges, with a melt-in-your-mouth interior. Chicken Enchilada: Well-sauced, with a tangy verde that had just enough heat and a generous cheese pull. Pork Tamale: Hearty, slightly dense, but well-seasoned and satisfying. Altogether, the combo is a solid value if you want to try a little of everything. Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&select=acNJE70M0OcjBOVpfIv0Cg Tres Leches ($13) Moist, delicately sweet, and soaked just right - without turning into milk soup. It's a refined version of a comforting dessert, and the whipped cream topping added freshness. Still, $13 could get you half a birthday cake elsewhere. Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&select=eX03hKsT-QK61Zq9G9XIZQ Churros ($13) Crispy outside, soft on the inside - exactly what you want. Came with both vanilla ice cream, caramel, and whip cream (bonus!), and felt indulgent without being too greasy. Not destination-worthy on their own, but a great way to end the meal. Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&select=tKsFw4mYSYR9nCU2ArGzqQ Total: $100 (+tip) The food was great but what really elevated the experience was the exceptional service from Noah. Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, he made sure everything ran smoothly without ever hovering. I would also like to note that there was never a moment where we sat with empty water cups - Noah made sure both of our glasses were always full. His recommendations and service made the evening even more enjoyable. Mahalo! Calo Kitchen + Tequila delivers on bold flavors and clean execution, especially with pork and dessert dishes. It leans upscale in pricing - sometimes to eyebrow-raising levels, but you're rewarded with a polished atmosphere and consistent quality. Go for a splurge, special occasion, or when your avocado budget is unusually high. HA! - Big Aloha! Overall rating: 4 1/2 Stars (Rounding up) Food: 5 Ambiance: 4 Service: 5 Value: 4

I joined the virtual waitlist for Calo, which always gets me excited. When we arrived, the hostess told us it would be a 15-minute wait, so we grabbed a drink at the front, which is always a nice way to pass the time. They even had a dedicated server for people waiting, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. After about 20 minutes, I checked in with the hostess, and she said it would be another 20 minutes. At this point, we were past both our Yelp time slot and the original estimate. After waiting around 45 minutes total, we ended up just grabbing seats at the bar rather than waiting any longer. The chips and salsa were a highlight--crispy, fresh, and they even came with beans, which was a nice and more unique touch. I ordered the halibut tacos, which sadly fell flat. They were a bit dry and lacked crema, and overall just tasted like something I could've made at home. On the bright side, my boyfriend loved his short rib enchiladas, and the cocktails were a win across the board. I'd especially recommend the Mezcal Fuego if you're into smoky drinks with a kick.

Great date night Mexican! I took my bf here for a date night, and it was wonderful! We were sat at the bar on a Friday night for some good food. Everyone was super nice and the atmosphere was lovely. I wasn't feeling anything meaty, so I decided to try the veggie tacos on a whim. They came out super quickly and super fresh, and I loved them. Everything was seasoned and sauteed really well with a good amount of spice. Do I wish there were more mushrooms? Maybe. But overall these were great tacos and not ones to pass over. I would gladly order these again.

I love calo they are like the local south of nicks with devious beans and salsa with the chips. We are local and pop in regularly. They make me a steak burrito and it's perfect every single time. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on this menu

Amazing food and service. Christine was a fabulous server. She really took great care of us.

This review is long overdue, my husband and I love Calós. Whether you sit at the bar or get seated in a booth, the staff are always friendly. Especially Christine, she is such a sweetheart. The food is consistently on point. They also have option for dietary restrictions like vegan/vegetarian. Cherry on top their interior design with biophillic elements are extremely appealing creating a unique dining experience.

We LOVED our lunch here! The service was friendly, the vibe was casual and we ate everything that was brought to us. If I lived closer, I would be there weekly! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

My husband and I have been coming to Calo for over a year now. It's our go to place when we crave great margaritas and appetizers. Calo is located in The Center at Rancho Niguel. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous. Typically we love sitting at the bar, it has plenty of seating on both sides. The bartenders are friendly and give excellent service. My go to margarita is the Strawberry Jalapeño and they only use real fruit and jalapeño in their drinks. We typically order off the appetizer menu. Some of our favorites are Shrimp Taquitos, Potato Filled Taquitos and the Chicken Quesadilla. Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Food 5/5 Drinks 5+/5

Incredible Mexican food. I've never had better chicken fajitas. The chicken is organic and honestly all the ingredients in their dishes are super fresh. Atmosphere is lovely. Very clean, chic and high class. Service is always quick and kind as well. The dishes are a bit on the pricier end but the quality is always spot on. Highly recommend a visit!

Nothing like a little tequila bar to lift my spirits. A blackberry margarita with a sugar rim? I'll take it. Complimentary chips with bean dip? Yes, please! And I'll take a beer for dessert.

Worth a try. Plenty of parking. Nice for groupsz Ok for kids. Ambiance is very nice. Something on the menu for everyone. Prices are very reasonable.

First timer and I loved it! Food is amazing, drinks were delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Over all amazing service. Definitely going back.

This is one of our favorite places, the service is always great and the food is delicious!! Love the location and the cozy feel!

The food is really good and the bartenders are always super nice. I like the tampiqueña but you really can't go wrong with this menu. Really nice for a date night or happy hour with friends because the restaurant is lively and well lit. Can also partially see into the kitchen which is always a nice touch. Would 100% recommend.

This place is a hidden gem: they have the best fresh menu, the drinks are house made and they're fresh as can be. Rafaela omg is the sweetest and wow an amazing mixologist. I didn't say bartender, no - I said mixologist. I sooo wanted to gatekeep this place and keep it for myself but honey - it's so good. It needs to be seen. Bonus: The interior is Miami-breezy, but low key dark enough if "you just can't" today. We understand honey, but take them sunglasses off and just come here anyway.

Calo Kitchen & Tequila is easily one of my favorite upscale Mexican restaurants. From the moment you sit down they set the tone with the hottest, freshest chips you'll ever have. They come with flavorful salsa and warm beans as a complimentary starter and it's the perfect way to begin the meal. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything I've tried has been consistently excellent but the steak fajitas are my favorite. They always arrive sizzling, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right every single time. The burrito is another standout and it's huge, packed with flavor and more than enough to share or take home for later. The atmosphere matches the food with a lively yet polished vibe and great energy. Whether you're here for a date night or dinner with friends, Calo delivers outstanding food and service every time. If you're going during dinner time I highly recommend checking the Yelp app to join the waitlist so you don't have to wait too long once you arrive.

Took my wife for an early dinner and ordered their red and green salsa enchiladas. We loved them, they have choices of black or pinto beans, and the chicken was all white meat which we prefer. I ordered a Sangria which was quite tasty with bits of pineapple (yum). We then ordered an ice cream and churros desert, you can order with or without caramel stuffing, we asked for it on the side, it was delicious. The restaurant welcomes you with a bar and has sitting inside and out, enjoyed the place and the service was top notch. If you're in the area, I recommend you visit.

Sorry, not sorry about all these rave reviews. Y'all are rich without any values. $25 quesadilias, $8 street tacos, come on now. Their idea a faitas avo salad is just grilled onions on top of lettuce with a half avo for $18. Would you like some protein with that, sir? What??? My bad. I thought faitas are grilled chicken or beef with a medley of veggies. Not at this joint. Oh, did I mention 1oz of tequila for a margarita is $16. It's all simple sauce. There's nothing Mexican about this place. I call it Mexican't. Don't bother unless your Richie Rich and have no taste.

The place is very pretty. The staff is very nice. The food is delicious! I popped in for lunch and did not have a cocktail but plan on returning. Only had chips and salsa (also served with beans) and a taquito app. Both were awesome. Inside was freezing so I moved to one of the patios...very nice ambiance. I look forward to going back and trying some entrees. Prices are on the high end especially for Mexican food ( think puesto prices) but I don't mind paying up for quality food in a beautiful restaurant

PAULINA. That was her name. And she was incredible. I have never experienced such amazing service. This woman deserves an award. Straight up made my night! Everything was perfect. The food, drinks, ambiance!! My third time here and it was even better if that is even possible but it was because of Paulina. She knew how to accommodate my BFFs allergies and was so professional and proficient!! The food and service here is worth every penny. Highly recommend on all levels.

Caló is my favorite semi upscale "Mexican" restaurant in south Orange County. I have tried Javier's at the Spectrum and Caló's is SOOOO much better and so much more bang for your buck. You can keep Javier's honestly, I don't understand that joints hype. The service at Caló's is EXCELLENT. The servers work hard and are outstanding at what they do. The vibe is exactly on point. Relaxing. Wonderful fire pit for that low light vibe. Comfortable seating. Dope insight/outside interior climate. Chips and bean and salsa dip are the BEST and so addictive. My wife and I are sober now (going on 2 years) and we miss our weekly margaritas from our other favorite Mexican restaurant (Carmelita's on Broadway in Laguna Beach) so when we ordered the virgin margarita (with salt) we were not expecting much but goodness!!! The virgin margarita is freshly whipped up from the bartenders own little recipe and it is deliciously satisfying. Obviously not the same as a tequila version (although when we drank these were excellent too!) but this tasty frosty beverage hits the spot. We specifically go to Caló's for our date night virgin margaritas now. The food is wonderful. My favorite is the Carneasada Tampiqueña with cheese enchiladas. Sigh...I love you Caló. Thank you for offering this Mexican person a decent option in this food desert of rich people area. Much love to the hardworking service staff, especially the back of the house staff!

Came here hoping that I can try some authentic Mexican food and I was not disappointed in the flavor. The food genuinely tasted amazing and the atmosphere in the restaurant is so nice. The bar is filled with everything while the atmosphere is very very relaxing and enjoyable. Staff is very helpful when it comes to answering questions about the food or the bar selection, the waiter helped us decide on the best drink that goes without her food and we will definitely come back

Highly recommend! Great atmosphere, great service and food is really good. The one at South Coast Plaza is also fantastic.

Had to try this location too since we were in the area visiting family after going to South Coast Plaza location a few months earlier and thought it was great. This visit we were on the patio because the weather was perfect and we really loved the decor.I ordered my fave Blackberry Margi and oh my goodness....still my absolute fave! They're Sooo good I don't want to try anything else...lol. My Hubby ordered a Bombay Sapphire and the Halibut tacos, my sis n law had a chicken taco w/rice & beans and I had the shrimp & crab enchiladas. Everything was fresh, hot, and I especially loved their green sauce! Our server was very attentive and helpful even though it was dinner rush and every table was taken. That tells you something right there, t's a pretty darn good place and you need to try it. So make your reservation and you won't be left out! I'll definitely be back again too!

We enjoyed the food - great flavors! Service was great and nice vine environment. I'd revisit.

What an awesome experience! From the decor and ambiance to the excellent service, I truly enjoyed my experience at Calo! I came for a family lunch had a great time. The staff were very friendly and accommodating throughout our time there. They regularly filled waters, refilled chips, and checked in on us to ensure we had an excellent meal. The waitress started us with some chips, beans, and salsa. The refried bean dip is incredible and makes we want to come back asap! We also got some mushroom quesadillas and shrimp taquitos as appetizers. The quesadillas look like little empanadas and are loaded with flavor! The taquitos have an amazing dipping sauce and are filled with a giant shrimp in each bite! I followed that up with some lobster and shrimp enchiladas. I'm not a big fan of spice, so I substituted the habanero sauce with chipotle sauce and it was delicious! There was plenty of filling and lots of flavor. We finished things off with some churros for the table and they came out warm and moist, meeting everyone's expectations and leaving everyone satisfied! I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed!

Absolutely incredible service. Delicious food & and a fun atmosphere. A friend and I went in at about 5:45- no reservation, it was about an hour+ wait. We were able to sit at one of the tables at the entrance and order drinks and appetizers while we waited, which was perfect! We ordered the tres salsa taquitos and they were to die for soooo good! The chips and salsa and bean dip 10/10. We ended up waiting about an hour and were seated. We had pineapple spicy margaritas that were so delicious. I also ordered a strawberry lemonade that tasted so fresh, it was incredible. For my entree I ordered the combo with two crispy tacos. Super good. Wait staff was super attentive. It was an awesome experience! I can't wait to go back!

First time checking out Cali Kitchen! Everyone's been talking about their new location in Costa Mesa, but we decided to hit up the Laguna Niguel spot instead. I ordered the veggie tacos and they were actually pretty good--fresh ingredients, nice flavors, and they didn't feel heavy, which I always appreciate. The overall vibe of the place was really solid too--kind of relaxed but lively, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It would definitely be a great spot for a casual lunch or an easy dinner with friends. Service was good overall. Our food came out quickly, and the staff was friendly. Only downside was that after we had been there for a couple of hours, our waitress started giving off a bit of a rushed vibe--kind of subtle hints that it was time to wrap it up. It wasn't super rude or anything, just noticeable. Still, I'd go back again--maybe to try the Costa Mesa location next time and see how it compares!

At the corner of a busy plaza, the unassuming restaurant next to Snooze is popping by 4PM with a line out the door. We were lucky to grab a bar seat as the booth tables were all full by 5 PM. Menu is modern with meats and seafood. Definitely order the habanero that not only has a kick, but also a chili flavor. We ordered the camarones along with the seafood enchiladas. All of the staff behind the bar were friendly and asking if we need anymore. It's a definite return trip planned.

Spectacular! Some of the freshest, best Mexican food I've ever had . My son-in-law (who's Mexican) says it's the closest to his Mother's authentic cooking he's ever found in a restaurant. With great, friendly service. And maybe the best flan I've ever tasted. Well worth a visit! Highly recommend.

After reading all the reviews and seeing the 4.5-star rating, I was looking forward to trying this restaurant. The restaurant is beautiful, and the service was excellent! They give you complimentary chips with salsa and beans. The salsa was good, but we prefer spicier options. I asked our waiter if they had a spicier salsa, and he offered a Habanero one, but we were charged $2.00 for it, without any heads-up. Most restaurants will give you a spicier salsa for free when requested, so that caught me off guard. For appetizers, we had the Shrimp Taquitos, which were pretty good. I ordered the short rib enchiladas, but they were just okay. My wife had the Seafood Trio (shrimp and crab enchilada, shrimp and lobster chile relleno, shrimp and bacon taco). While it sounded exciting, the flavors were underwhelming. Overall, the restaurant is beautiful and has great service, but the food didn't quite deliver for us. It seems to be a popular spot with locals, but for us, it lacked the authentic flavors we look for in Mexican cuisine.

It's been a minute since we have eaten here, but it's always good. Went for an early dinner last night and added our name to the waitlist as it's pretty much always busy. The food is wonderful, started with a drink and guac and had an amazing meal. The waiter was very good and as always super pretty restaurant. It's not cheap but definitely great food. Will return and recommend.

My friend and I came in and were greeted by the host, who let us know that since we had dogs, we would need to sit on the patio and that it would just be a few minutes. We've been to this establishment many times before and have never had an issue with our dogs being on the patio. While we were waiting, the manager, Crystal, came over and asked if we had been helped. We said yes, and she then asked if our dogs were service animals. We confirmed they were, and she told us to wait for our table outside. After waiting 15-20 minutes, Crystal came back and suddenly claimed she thought we were there for takeout, even though we had clearly told her we were waiting for a table. She then said their patio is not dog-friendly , which directly contradicted what we were originally told by the host and our past experiences here. I have severe anxiety, and during stressful moments, my service dog alerts me by whining and pawing at me, which she was doing at the time. Instead of being understanding, Crystal was incredibly hostile and ultimately told us we were not welcome. This experience was upsetting and completely unprofessional. Due to Crystal's dishonesty and poor customer service, this restaurant has lost two loyal customers.

Food is always good here full of flavor & they always serve you salsa, chips, & bean dip as complimentary. I have not had the pleasure to do a full dine in experience due to how busy they always are, so I always sit at the bar. Bar tenders are always great about checking on how everything is & if you need anything else. The restaurant is beautiful, first Mexican restaurant I encounter with this type of interior design.
