Margaritas were large, but using Grand Marnier (instead of Cointreau) made them a little sweet for my taste. My chicken was grilled but a little overcooked. Still, it was pretty good tasting. Hubby's Tacos al Carbon was delicious. Great marinade! Tip: If you like mole, but don't want enchiladas, just ask them to sub Mole for the sauce on any of the chicken plates. I had a side and it was delicious! If I could give it 3.5 stars, I would. For the most part, it met my expectations, just a few things keep me from giving them 4. But - we will be back. :)

Place comes with complimentary chips and hot sauce. I got the small con queso, and the cheese was really good, it was a little watery, but it was still really good. I ordered the pollo del monte, and I must say, this was really good. The chicken breast was nice and thick! This comes with charro beans, which I was shocked how good they were. I was able to eat them straight from the dish. The staff was very polite and always checking on me at the table. I wish they had horchata available, but they don't. I'd come back and try out their fajitas next time!

The hospitality is casual, while also warm, and accommodating. When they first opened, you could walk in and get a table almost anytime. These days, I recommend calling ahead because they've become deservedly busy--and I'm so happy to see it. The enmoladas are a standout, the salsas are fantastic, and the alambre is my personal guilty pleasure. I also love that mezcal is offered alongside the tequila selections in their cocktails. This is not Tex-Mex. The menu draws primarily from the culinary traditions of Mexico City and Puebla. Mandi Cocina has become a place I'm always excited to return to.

Margaritas were not great and had little flavor but still pricey. I had a hibiscus flavored one. It had a shot of red juice/liquid poured into the center of the frozen margarita. It didn't taste like anything. not sweet or sour? very bland for a place that has Margaritas in its name! We ordered fajitas for two. Fajitas consisted of a piece of fajita meet over a plate of onions. No bell peppers to be found. Taste was bland, no seasoning detected. Salsa was very mild, watery with lots of onions. No real taste. Side rice and beans were okay, but nothing special. Smal scoop of guacamole was added. Flour tortillas were good. Meat was tender but very chewy. Had very little flavor and a small serving for two. Basically, it was hardly enough to make 2 tacos each. Meat and onions only. Cost was $48.00? Check your bill before paying, ours rang up at a higher price on the bill. They corrected it after we asked about it. But we had to show them the menu to prove our point. Overall, this place has potential. After so many good reviews maybe cost have been cut? They need to do better. Plenty of great restaurants in the area. Someone would have to insist on going here before we try this place again. Overall, it was $90.00 meal for 2 on a Saturday evening (5PM) Good Luck, hope this helps.

My son just like their tacos al carbon since it is his usual. Their salsa is definitely a HIT! Red or green, they are both so spicy and delicious. Their margaritas are always great, I usually go with their classic lime w/ tajin on the rim but their fountain drinks are also very bubbly so don't skip on that Dr. Pepper! The environment is so colorful and they play classic Mexican music, mariachis or Mana for the Rock en espanol enthusiast.

I judge most, if not all ramen shops by how well their tonkutsu presents itself.. and well.. this place scored a lot lower than what I had hoped. The broth, while the traditional white in color was woefully lacking in umami and left a lot to be desired. The ramen noodles were oddly soft without the expected "chew" factor one would expect. Rather it was questionably soft and almost had a "slime"? sensation at the back of the mouth. The ribeye robata...regular and the honey miso glazed version was also lacking in flavor. I tried to hope that maybe the grill flavor would add some depth and salvage the already bland flavor of the cut.. it sadly did not. I got as finishing at least half the ramen (chashu, corn, seaweed and green onions as well as a couple of bites of the noodles). MAYBE I will come back some time later in the future should my patient roster bring me back this way.. but for now.. I would rate this place as more of a maybe than an actual foodie destination.

First impressions were positive. The restaurant was clean, pleasant, and the staff were polite and attentive. Unfortunately, that's where the experience peaked. The menu itself is surprisingly thick and heavy, which gave us the impression there would be plenty of options. Instead, it felt like a lot of pages dedicated to not a lot of choices. After ordering, we waited somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes before the first entrée arrived. I ordered the ribeye, cooked medium rare. It was decent enough, but certainly not memorable, especially at the price point. My wife ordered the salmon, which managed to achieve a level of dryness usually reserved for desert climates. The real star of the show, however, was the vegetables and not in a good way. If you're looking to dramatically increase your sodium intake, you've come to the right place. The vegetables were overcooked, soggy, and so aggressively salted that I briefly wondered if the chef had sourced the water directly from the Dead Sea. Every bite felt like a challenge to my blood pressure. We also ordered the Combo Stir Fry Udon. The noodles were perfectly edible, but the accompanying vegetables suffered the same fate: limp, overcooked, and swimming in what tasted like concentrated seawater. In the end, the biggest issue is the disconnect between price and quality. The restaurant presents itself as a premium dining experience, but the food simply doesn't justify the cost. Clean restaurant, courteous staff, average entrées, and vegetables that could preserve a mummy. Sadly, not a place I'd rush back to for another birthday.

In the meantime we sat in the bar area. A gentleman approached us initially to take our drink order, then he switched with another waitress. The restaurant was really nice with dim lighting that sets the tone for an intimate date night. We ordered a wedge salad, crab cakes, steak, fries, and mac n cheese. Presentation of the food was really nice and overall the food was decent. We anticipated this steakhouse being comparable to a Perry's or Kirby's, however customer service and food quality did not meet the bar as we expected. There were a few tables that opened up outside however the hostess never informed us that we could move to the patio. That was disappointing as we mainly came for the music. But overall it was a decent experience.

We came in to give it a try under the new owners. We got a chicken gordita, a chicken tostada and the Parrillada Regia plate. We finished with a canoa. The gordita and tostada were good representations. The gordita was tasty and the tostada was firm enough to pick up, though it was fully loaded so that was awkward in a good way. But the star was the Parrillada Regia plate. This plate comes on a sizzling fajita skillet with beef, shrimp, sausage and a pork chop as proteins, grilled onions and peppers, and rice, beans, tortillas, avocado and pico de gallo on the side. The beef was good, the chicken fine but slightly on the dry side, the sausage had lots of flavor, and the shrimp was well cooked. But I recommend this plate for the pork chop. It's a thin chop but it was cooked just right, done but nice and tender. There's a very narrow window to get chops right, and most places miss it, but this one was great. The portions of the proteins are about right for one taco, I would call it a sample plate. But it's under $20 so I think it is a great value as well as a good dish. Am getting that again. We may have failed to appreciate the canoa. It's a fried plantain topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. My wife thought it was too sweet, and I thought it wasn't sweet enough. Your mileage will obviously vary. The place has been fully decorated since my last review and is quite attractive inside. The bathrooms were clean and ready. Service was good.
