    Breakfast chorizo and eggs

    Well I had high expectations. However, I ordered chorizo and eggs and it was overcooked. The beans and rice were ok. The tortillas were horrible. They tasted like they just came out of a package and warmed in the microwave. Service was good, food, not so much.

    The soup had a weird after taste to it so I did not to eat it. The after taste was almost like a chemical taste. The steak taco was pretty tasty and the tortilla was perfect. The sauce that the taco came with was spicy but balanced the taco perfectly.

    Yelp Fam! I'm back with another review! Over the last couple of years, I've made it a point to go to Chattanooga with my sister and brother-in-law. It's normally a day trip during the spring or summer where we just walk around downtown, sit by the water, and enjoy the outdoors. There's always so much to see. Sometimes, you can even catch a vendor event where folks are selling different items all along downtown. There are always people around--whether it's at the aquarium, on the sand, or just walking around. It's such a lively place. Aside from the activities, there are some great places to eat. My sister and brother-in-law recommended that we try Taco 423. After about 2.5 hours of walking, we had definitely worked up an appetite, and I was in the mood for tacos. The place was a bit of a walk from where we were, but I needed the exercise. The inside was cool, kind of dimly lit, and they had TVs and a bar if that's your thing. The service was really nice and attentive. Even though it wasn't my sister and brother-in-law's first time there, the staff made a point to welcome me and share some recommendations from the menu. Now, let's get to the food. My sister and brother-in-law opted for the tacos with beans and rice, and of course, what Mexican feast is complete without queso? I, on the other hand, went for the chicken enchiladas with refried beans and rice! I order this dish whenever I go because it's always so good! I even got an extra side of queso because I knew one wouldn't be enough. The food was filling--so much so that we didn't need to take anything to go. That walk back to the car came in handy because we were stuffed! Usually, I need a to-go box, but not this time! I would definitely recommend trying this place out. The wall art is amazing, the bathrooms were clean, the inside is spacious, and I think you'll really enjoy yourself.

    This food was not good. Not at all, especially for the price. We were finishing our day at a conference and walked down from the Westin and got food to go. I got a chicken enchilada dish and was charged two extra dollars for sour cream. We didn't wait long and the bartender was nice enough. But getting to our room and trying our food was so disappointing. The chicken was rubbery and cheap, the refied beans tasted off. It's an easy thing to cook but even the rice was cold and tasteless . Not even the sour cream could fix the taste. We should have gone somewhere else especially for the 18 dollars plus tip we spent. Go anywhere else

    So one of the guys I work with goes here 3 times per week. They have his fajitas ready and waiting on hime the same time each of those days. How cool, right? They have really good food and the service is good. Photos are included. Give them a try as you enjoy West Village!

    Wow, the food is still amazing... Service was just kind of rude. And not friendly. I'll still come back here because it's a really cool place to look at and you can't beat the guacamole but something has changed since the last time I was here just the overall feeling of hospitality is gone.

    Service was not friendly but it was fast. Probably because the place was empty. (That should have been warning enough). Instead, I stuck around and ordered Fajita Nachos. Sounds simple, right? It came out extremely fast, BUT... every bite was hard and chewy. Not from being over cooked, it was from the poor quality meat they use. (Explains the cheap prices.) The steak and the chicken tasted identical and each one left a big wad of hard grisly meat in your mouth that was impossible to chew and swallow. This was an absolutely horrendous dining experience. I highly recommend that you avoid. Only cost me $20 for such a terrible experience and within an hour, it's not sitting well. This place looks kinda cool from outside but mark my words, it will not make it in this high rent plaza with such subpar food.

    Three Mexican Tacos, Birria Tacos

    Service was great, food even better. Birria and carne tacos were delicious, margarita was strong, Pacifico was smooth. Ambiance/music was nice. Definitely coming back!

    Man, the food portions were huge. Flavor was good also. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Great spot close to the Westin Chattanooga downtown.

    Great service, yummy tacos, awesome location! Located in downtown Chattanooga just minutes from the Tennessee aquarium and other attractions. I'm unsure of the parking situation as my family and I walked to this restaurant from our nearby hotel. We arrived on a Saturday evening around 8:30p (family of 4). It wasn't too busy but the bar space was busy due to college sports. We were greeted as soon as we entered and we were seated right away. We were provided chips and salsa, menus and silver ware as we seated. Our server was so sweet! I didn't catch her name but she was very attentive and helpful. We tried the steak tacos and the birria tacos. Birria tacos were delicious! The sauce was lovely. The steak tacos were good but felt a bit dry. I was surprised it didn't come with slices of lime. Overall atmosphere was comfortable and casual. Very cute restaurant with modern decor and furniture. I loved all of the custom murals and wall art!

    Can't recommend this cocktail bar enough!…read more We visited the bar late night while staying at the hotel and it did not disappoint. Despite clearly being short staffed and having a busy night - we were greeted almost immediately and encouraged to help ourselves to a seat. We sat at a table away from the bar (only one available) and a server came by to take our drink order. Before he could return, another employee - who was running food to another table - immediately came over to us after to see if we wanted to order food (which we did!). She took our order, then the drinks arrived and before we knew it the food was out and was incredible! The menu is quite limited - and even more so when you one of you doesn't eat meat - and yet we were able to make a meal out of 2 caesar salads, the hummus plate and the deviled eggs. And don't even get me started on the cocktails! We started with a Manhattan and an Espresso Martini that were perfectly crafted. And then for our dessert round switched to their signature Old Fashioned. Each one was better than the next! Thanks for an incredible time, Whiskey Thief. We will definitely we back!

    It wasn't busy at 4:30 on a Wednesday. We got a seat on the balcony overlooking the river, the art…read moremuseum and in the shade. Perfect. At first, servers were scarce, but as I got up to go to the bar, the bartender must've seen me and was on his way. He took our initial drink order. At $14 per glass of wine, we just went for the bottle at $54 and a charcuterie board at $27. We are on vacation, so why not. The view is excellent. The weather cooperated. People watching from on high was fun, and the nature scenery was nice. Service was a little slow, but not an imposition, however, if it gets much busier, that could be a thing. We later learned they previously had a $10 cover, but we did not get asked for this and it must be a thing of the past, or I understand it is waived for guests of the Edwin Hotel (the bar's affiliated with the Edwin) but we had dinner reservations at Whitebird, the affiliated restaurant. The charcuterie was good with cheeses, cured meats, jams, crackers, etc. all in all, the star is the Al fresco seating and the River, and of course the company of my beautiful wife! So, go for outdoor seating and bring your own beau!

I can't remember all the varieties, but we usually get 2 of each kind of oyster they have available. It's a great way to start for the adults and the kids seem to go to town on the saltines. STIR has an extensive drink menu including various whiskeys and mocktails. We've generally ordered some kind of fish and a salad/poke bowl. The kitchen does a really great job of not overcooking the fish and there's the perfect amount of salt, fat and acid to flavor. The only thing that could be better is how they cook their white rice - it's not fluffy and has more of a gummy texture in both their poke bowl and their seasonal bento box. Ordinarily we wouldn't get desserts when Clumpies is a brief walk over, but this time we got their matcha cheesecake and layered chocolate cake. Both were delicious but between the two, I'd say the cheesecake was the best. Service is generally great here - they're attentive, friendly and give great recommendations. I also like how kid-friendly this restaurant is with a kids menu and crayons. While the ambiance doesn't feel kid-friendly, I like that this space allows parents to feel like they're having a night out while still able to have the kids in tow. We're fans and would definitely come back.
