Our server couldn't have been more friendly and outgoing. She was swamped (it was prom night with lots of formally clad students dining in) but never broke a sweat, never made us feel rushed or unattended and had a big smile from ear to ear throughout. I can't remember her name but I believe she is one of the owners daughters - and she's a real asset to the restaurant. My husband had a combination platter with all the favorites - enchiladas, taco, and a tamale, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I opted for something that was a little less---well, you know----but when in Rome---don't eat the spinach and mushrooms----get the tacos, savor the enchiladas. They know what they're doing and next visit I will lean into their expertise, enhanced by another Mexican martini. Buen provecho!

The prices are very reasonable, and I would definitely go back! I'm looking forward to working my way through the taco menu!

Having grown up in San Antonio where there is amazing Mexican food, I have a very high bar. The menu was in both Spanish and English with traditional Mexican dishes you might expect like enchiladas, tortas, and fajitas. The food was hot and flavored well. I met a friend for brunch at TA. She ordered a taco, and I ordered the breakfast plate. The meal came with complementary chips and salsa. We both liked our dishes. The red salsa was tasty and bit spicey at the same time. Overall, the food was good. We had two servers Jose and Mary. Jose primarily told "knock, knock" jokes to keep us entertained. Mary was our primary food server. Both individuals were very friendly. The restaurant is small and compact. Most entrees are reasonably priced.

Short of the story EVERYONE liked it!!!! This is a mind blowing shocker coming from our family. We got the large queso, my only minor complaint is that it's a little thin and it's like $14 but it was really good, we totally polished it off. Hubby got the combo fajitas, didn't have peppers but tons of caramelized yummy onions that we loved. Girls got the Mac n cheese which was a hit and the other got their chicken fingers. We also got the friend ice cream, which was just ice cream covered in Frosted Flakes but it was awesome, had honey, chocolate all the good stuff. Needless to say we found our new go to spot for Mexican!! It was clean, no wait, service was great, and everyone enjoyed their food. A win all the way around.

For a Saturday afternoon it was pretty quiet. We were the only ones there so it was pretty silent. It seemed like they had reopened or something, seemed like most of the attention was in the back and not out front but they our server came by and dropped of some chips and salsa. I looked at the menu and it was very Texmex, so much so that I didn't feel any guilt whatsoever in ordering hard shell tacos. Since we already got the chips we decided to get their queso as well. The food basically all arrived at the same time and the queso was served in a small soup cup-TONs of their queso and since it was family, double dipping the queso into the salsa was not judged; pretty decent. My tacos were good-the lettuce, tomatoes and cheese were just kind of tossed on top and not in but I guess that's what I get for ordering hard shell tacos. I should have gone full Taco Bell and just gotten the beef, the shredded chicken was just ok.

Sociedad feels more like a bar that happens to serve Mexican food than a Mexican restaurant, and…read morethat's not a bad thing. The drinks were great and definitely the star of the night. The food was good, the service was somewhat good, and we had a fun time overall. They also have a nice back patio area where we were able to relax and listen to a rock cover band that was a lot of fun. My only real complaint is the plastic fork and knife. I know it seems like a small thing, but serving food that requires a knife and fork with a flimsy plastic utensil was kind of laughable and made eating my green chili enchiladas a little more challenging than it needed to be. Even with that minor issue, I'd happily come back for the drinks, live music, and laid-back atmosphere. It's a fun spot to spend an evening.

The venue is a cocina (Mexican kitchen) and tequila bar. Solciedad is the reimagined version of the longtime Alcove Cantina, which reopened in April 2026 with a refreshed interior, revamped menu, and an expanded tequila and mezcal selection while keeping its role as a local nightlife venue. Sociedad is divided into three main areas...front, back and side all with different purposes. The front area looks primarily like a bar with side seating. You likely are in this section for a Tequila tasting or drink with conversation. The back room was more like a concert-like area with an open ceiling. You literally could see the stars from this section of the restaurant. I listened to some rhythm and blues and find the band to be smooth and sexy. However, my friends were in the last section, where a DJ was spinning Latin tunes. While it was fun to see my friends, it was totally slow boogie. The songs lasted too long, and we only heard a few songs that were familiar. I ordered a frozen Margarita, but they were out of Margarita. I have never been to a Mexican food restaurant that did not serve Margaritas. So, I then ordered some guacamole and chips, which I shared with my friends. After one set of music, we decided to leave the restaurant. Service was pretty good at the restaurant. Although our server was acting as server and bartender simultaneously. Also, there was no cover charge for Sociedad.
