There's some odd art on the wall that doesn't at all match the vibe but don't let that deter you. Bartenders were super friendly. The cocktail list was more extensive and sophisticated than I expected. And while there wasn't live music at the time, there's clearly a stage for music, which I'm sure is fun. Definitely worth a visit when you need a refreshing beverage.

It's a quaint little spot with some tables outdoors, which worked for us because we had our dogs in a stroller. I checked the menu before we sat down and they had a few gluten-free dishes which serves my wife well. Little did I know I was gonna find this culinary gem. We started with the Chicharron's. I'm not kidding. These were the best Chicharron's I have ever had in my life. They were so extremely fresh with a chipotle sauce that was perfection. I can't even describe how good these things were, but talk about fresh and crispy. Triple wow. The next item was the pork belly. It was scrumptious. The right blend of fat to meat ratio. Sweet and tangy. A 10 compared to chef Ramsey's 6 that I had at Hell's kitchen. And then there was the wild west beef tacos. Now if you follow my many reviews you will know I am a taco foodie. It is hard to get a wow out of me over a taco, but oh my God, these were some of the best freaking tacos I ever had in my life! They use a tender skirt steak to line the grilled flour tortilla, and then cheese, grilled onion, and bacon with an arugula salad top. And I believe some kind of chipotle sauce. I am not kidding you, these tacos will bend your knees. I absolutely loved them. They just absolutely nailed this. The wait staff was excellent, I got a pale Mexican beer that was really good, even the lemonade was first class. This was the surprise lunch of my lifetime. I was not expecting much. I was not expecting something worthy of a review even. These are some of the greatest lunches ever when you find a spot like this and were expecting nothing. Kudos to The River Downtown. I just wished I was staying another day so I could go back and try all the other things they have on their menu. Wow wow wow.

He wouldn't even make eye contact and blew right past me to serve a white guy who had just walked up to my right. When he finally looked back over, he looked right past me again to my wife. She literally had to point at me and tell him, "He's the one ordering." ​While we were sitting at the bar (had to move because the overhead fans create a ridiculous wind tunnel at the tables), a Hispanic guy walked in. He was in a great mood, carrying a bag no bigger than a small basketball. The bartender immediately stopped him and said he couldn't have the bag in there, basically refusing to serve him. Since the guy was alone, he just left. ​It was a terrible look. Between getting blatantly ignored while standing right in front of the guy and watching how he treated the next customer, the bias here was obvious. If you aren't the right demographic, don't expect decent service.
