    Drink of the month
    NiNi F.

    As you walk in we were able to sit ourselves. Sat at a booth and was definitely enough room for us. I like the booths with optional seats. Except the booths do not have cushions, especially for your back. Service was quick. It seems to be family owned. It was 3 of us and they have a special for $30. It comes with 6 tacos, rice, and beans. I definitely recommend if you want to try different tacos for cheaper. I really enjoyed the chorizo taco. My cousin said the elote poblano taco was amazingly good. The steak was tender just needed a bit more season. The chicken taco has good flavor and per the other guest al pastor was tasty as well. The harbeño margarita has great flavor.

    What a cute and unexpected surprise. The reviews of this place is polarizing but in my experience the food was good and the portions were great. The drinks I thought were delish and they had some original flavors, which leads me to believe that the mixologist really has fun. I met my cousins here, it was a group of 6 of us and we had lots of fun. I didn't take pictures of my food because I inhaled it. I would say, the food is traditional with an american twist. I heard the restaurant has a back story where it's veteran owned, I would ask about it because I wasn't sure if I remembered it well but I remember thinking it was cool to support veteran owned businesses. The service was great.

    My bestie and I came here for lunch Thursday afternoon, not too many people (but it was also 2pm) atmosphere was warming, awesome decor, they had football on tv, music was decent, waitress/bartender was AWESOME (shoutout Marisol) she took our order pretty quick, was friendly and welcoming. We got our appetizer, food and drinks quick. Everything was 10/10!!! Highly recommend Americanos . As far as time of day in my opinion according to my schedule that time of day would be best time to go if u want easy going vibe without the hustle and bustle

    I made reservations for Saturday evening for 2. They have plenty parking in their lot. The waitress was so kind and explained the drink of the month & the menu to us. She even took our photo. The food came out quickly & was delicious! We will be back.

    Me and my friend ended up at the wrong restaurant, be careful because apparently Americano (no S is totally different) Tourist mistake lol. The food was ok, the menu wasn't much. Our waiter was very friendly. Homey, casual vibe being that a teenager was having a birthday party next to us.

    Great taste, I'm having 2

    Favorite Mexican restaurant ever the food is so good and it's the only place near me that sells Mexican coke. On non busy days the service is really good and fast. On busy days it can be slow but it's worth the wait. The inside is really cool there's a bar and it's modern. I really recommend It.

    My partner and I came here for dinner tonight, it's a Wednesday night, and it's pretty busy. We seated ourselves per the signage at the door, and our server came by shortly after with paper menus, silverware, napkins and plates. He proceeded to bring us water as well while we browse through the menu. I ordered their Americanos Mule with Tito's vodka, and my partner ordered a can of Tecate. We initially asked for a can of Guinness because the menu says it, but apparently they don't even carry it according to our server so that's basically false advertising. We started with an order of chips & salsa which I love their salsa and the chips were crispy. We had to remind our server to bring it to our table. My partner and I did a tray of 6 tacos and ordered 2 more a la carte. I had 1 steak, 1 brisket, 1 fish and 1 shrimp, and my partner did all 4 chicken. I loved the steak, the brisket and the shrimp. The fish isn't really my thing because it's deep fried and they have the tartar sauce etc, which reminds me of fish and chips but on corn tortillas. I ended up trading my partner for a chicken taco and it was delicious. The food is really good, it seems like the kitchen is understaffed, but plenty of servers available. The service is decent and friendly. My partner walked up and asked for sauce for our tacos because our server had forgotten about it and we also neglected to mention it. I personally love my tacos with salsa verde, and it's like the milk to the cereal it goes together and is missing a piece without it. They also have plenty of free parking, and there's even a signage that says Americanos parking which is pretty cool. Overall, we had a good time and would come back. When I come back, I'll skip the fish tacos altogether and probably stick with the steak and the shrimp as those were my top choices. Everything is decently priced and nice portions, and I'd recommend Americanos to anyone in the area looking for Americanized Mexican / Tex Mex style cuisine.

I got the cucumber gin cocktail which was the highlight for me! For our food we got the Caesar salad with chicken, the chicken tacos, and the chips and guacamole. You could tell the chips were homemade and were so light and crunchy. I loved that the tacos had bite sized pieces of grilled chicken in them, and they were seasoned so nicely. Overall a nice lunch!

I must admit that I had low expectations because quite frankly, I have not enjoyed Mexican food outside of Mexico or California. However, we were hungry, and it was near where we were staying, so I decided we should check it out, and I am so glad we did! The food was great. Both adults and the VERY picky children in our group all enjoyed our meals. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas and the other adult ordered a chile relleno combo, which I also got to try. Everything was delicious and devoured by all! We were so full but the owner talked us into the chocoflan, and we did not regret trying it. It was soooo good! Speaking of the owner, the service was great. We really enjoyed how he and the rest of the staff were very courteous. It is a small establishment, and it gets a good amount of people, so I assume that there are waits during peak hours. I highly recommend Sabroso! And we plan to return the next time we are in the area.
