    Modelo Michelada
    Reyna M.

    I am always weary of restaurants in my hood with mirrors on the wall. You know which ones I am talking about. However, this place exceeded my expectations despite the mirrors aligned across the wall. We ordered an order of aguachiles, 2 gobernador tacos, and a kid's cheeseburger order with a Modelo Michelada and a draft craft beer. The michelada was so good. The tamarindo-chamoy stick brought it to another level. The draft beer was from a local brewing company and I didn't like it but hey, you can't like them all. Now, the tacos. They were exceptionally good. I added some of the table salsa with roasted chiles each bite of the taco was an explosion of flavor. As for the aguachiles, the serving size was bigger than I am used to at other establishments. Music was good. Service was excellent. Place is clean including the restrooms. We'll be back. But I'll choose another beer to pair with my food. Maybe a Mango Cart.

    Try the mariscos, shrimp dish,  tacos de papa and and fish tacos.  Ask for the spicy pink sauce, it is incredible!

    A big group of 10 hungry guys went down to have some lunch Sunday. I noticed this new place while driving through Boyle Heights and I love to try new Mexican food restaurants. My friends had mariscos and shrimp, we all shared quesadillas and I had tacos de papa and fish tacos. Everything was great! The habanero salsa and chips they serve when you arrive are sooo tasty and I'm not a salsa guy! The sauce on the quesadillas and fish tacos were great, especially the spicy pink sauce - it was awesome. 5 stars because service was great, fast and friendly. I'll be back!

    Horrible!!! First of all it was empty on a Saturday midday. They only accept cash or Zelle!!!! I…read moreordered a margarita and it was horrible, very sweet. The girl asked me if I wanted it regular or strong which I thought was odd. When she brought it I told her was too sweet, she asked if I wanted more tequila. I asked what kind of tequila they used, she said it was agave. I asked for more. I asked for a Paloma instead and she looked confused. She brought it but it was very weak. As I sat outside some drunk off the street came with a beer in hand and sat across from me, I ignored him. He was effed up. Eventually he got up and left. As I was sitting enjoying the beautiful breeze and weather a strong scent of fabulosa swept across the patio and the girl was mopping the inside and it was overwhelming! I paid with Zelle and took off!!! I DI NOT RECOMMEND!!!!

    On Sunday we called ahead to double check what time drag buffet started. They said 3. When we got…read morethere, I asked for sangria and they gave me a bottled sangria soda. We then waited ONE HOUR for the brunch buffet to be served. Imagine our disappointment when the buffet was just a salad bar, two types of flautas, and rice. I even had to place the spoons and tongs into the containers. No one acknowledged that they served a full hour late, and we weren't offered anything for free or discounted. I give two stars for them supporting drag queens. I tipped the Queen but would have preferred my buffet fees go to her.

    Safari Restaurant And Bar - This place is great. It's got parking and the food is good. I highly recommend, and it's brand new. It's only been up in six months.

    This place is wonderful looking and just pleasing to the eye, but the service was kinda rotten. The…read moresecurity guards were okay, but were super strict with my sharpie pens. Okay fine to that. My partner and I were looking for a menu. I asked "do you have a specialty cocktails menu or a regular menu somewhere?" and she said a short no and said any regular bar drink will do. After she goes back on her phone to scroll, I turn my head and see a menu with some basic cocktails and their variations (which is what I initially asked about). Once my partner was ready to order palomas for us, we try getting her attention and kinda stared and waved hands, but she continued to scroll on her phone. It took her coworker to talk to her. THEN, she makes our palomas and stops to tell us her soda gun isn't working, so she couldn't top it off with soda. Fine cool, assuming she'll give us a small discount, but she charges us $24 for two palomas. So really we just paid for lemon tequila drinks that should've just been $16 for both. Palomas don't cost that much either. Should be just like $10, unless the Paloma is presentable then yeah $12 is fine. So, she ripped us off, didn't offer any accommodation for it, and was pretty distant and careless with her job. Anyway, don't come here if you care about customer service. Kinda strange here because this looks like a hot spot and charming, but they got the wrong people working here honestly. Something's up with management or a lack of boosting morale.

    Never coming here again…read more I went last night to catch up with a friend I hadn't seen in years and stepped outside for a moment to get some air because it was getting stuffy inside. The girl security was chill, the heftier guy must've not liked me or something because he was not trying to join the small talk I was making with the other security. I tell her I need to go inside and get my friend because we were leaving and the male security tells me there's "No Ins and Outs". I was literally going to go inside and get my friend and go. He doesn't let me. So then I spam my friend to let her know they're not letting me back inside. When she comes out I tell her my shoes are hurting and I take my heels off because we had to walk. He then accuses me of being messy drunk for being taking my heels off. Learn to read the room sir. We step away from the front and literally walk a few businesses over AWAY from the bar. This is how I know the security was looking for a problem. I tell my friend we don't have to worry about anyone messing with us on our walk because I have a tazer. I show it to her and press the button to let her know it works. The security guard leaves his post and walks towards us and tells me "now you have to leave because you're doing that" I was already leaving and he had no reason to walk towards me on the side walk he should have stayed at the front door. I wasn't even talking to him anymore. We were literally 2-3 businesses away. So I turned the tazer on and told him to leave, he approached us. There was no reason for him to walk up to us we already left. This man was looking for trouble. He needs to be fired. I was scared I was gonna have to use it if he got physical. Management should really look into that security guard because it makes me wonder how many patrons he actually messes with when he's on a machismo power trip. I am never coming back to this establishment again. You guys don't even deserve a star. How dare you allow your security to harass someone trying to leave. This man does not know how to diffuse situations properly. He needs to be fired. And then witnessing him trying to rewrite reality was truly disgusting. I'm so genuinely curious if he has history of getting physical with patrons. If he does, I'm certain he's not as innocent as he performs.
