    This place used to be Mas Fuego. I ordered the 3 taco plate. The tacos consisted of of a corn tortilla each soaked in oil, not even crunchy. Suggestion to restaurant: please put another tortilla in the tacos. After adding salsa the whole thing crumbles in half! :( You have your choice of two proteins out of 5 meats. The carnita meat was delicious but oily AF. The ribeye meat was good but could've been more tender. They put cotija cheese, pico, avocado bits and a slightly spicy red salsa on it served with lemon and nothing else. No chip, no salsa, nada. The service was stellar. As for ambience, it's half restaurant and 1/2 sports bar. Kinda noisy. 5 tv's in restaurant area and 3 in bar area. I would come back.

    I came to this restaurant for dinner, I don't have a high expectation, but I think the Mexican food shouldn't went wrong at all. The food is very disappointed. Definitely overpriced.

    The food was delicious. I don't remember the name of the foods we ordered but was tasty. Our server Mirta Castaneda was excellent. She was very kind, and nice. She was able to help us explain the sushi we've ordered. The restaurant was decorated so beautiful. Very high class.

    So the sign outside says Mas Fuego and have been wanting to try. I guess it was renamed. On Yelp it says Mas Fuego is permanently closed and this place should probably be too. The service was horrible. It started out good; they were nice and smiles and seated us right away. It is nicely decorated but the music was so loud you couldn't have a conversation. We were sat there for a good 10-15 minutes and no one ever came to get our drinks or order even when a waitress came by and was serving the table behind us. She didn't stop at ours and just ignored us as she walked by Very disappointed. We ended up walking out and didn't get a chance to try the food so no reviews on that.

    I came here for my birthday and they did excellent. Mirta was the server and went above and beyond assisting us with our orders and even danced for a birthday song. Food was EXCELLENT especially the Octopus!!! 3 tacos and Shrimp Ceviche was amazing. Thank you El Tito!

    We came in on a Saturday afternoon and sat down right away. The place is beautiful and has such a great atmosphere. We ordered the Pulpo Zarandeado y the Filet Mignon steak medium rare, everything was so good and so flavorful, my favorite was definitely the Pulpo, it was cooked to perfection. Our waitress Claudia provided excellent service! Very attentive and checked on us throughout the meal. We will definitely be back!

    Ivan was awesome! Great bartender made me the best drink I've had here. Definitely my new favorite!

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant! From the moment the food arrived, you could tell it was crafted with care and authenticity. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of vibrant colors, and even better in flavor. The chef truly deserves recognition. The balance of spices was perfect -- bold but never overwhelming -- and each bite tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. the meats were tender and well-seasoned, and the salsas had just the right amount of heat. You can really taste the passion and skill behind every plate. It's rare to find food that feels both comforting and exciting at the same time, but this chef has mastered that balance. Thank you for creating such an authentic and memorable dining experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

    I really wanted this place to be good since it was so close to my house. HORRIBLE $29 for this super over cooked shrimp!
    Medelyn B.

    I was hoping this place would've been good since it's so close to the house. HORRIBLE! Shrimp was super over cooked. Plate was $29. Rice wasn't bad. Ordered a chocolate lava cake and it tasted like fish. Won't be back!!

    Oh my god... oh my god.. is what we kept saying on every bite. This is the best thing since sliced bread. The food, the service the vibe.. honestly such an amazing spot. Mirtha was amazing everyone was so kind and friendly and were happy to recommend their favorite dishes. I can't get over the taste, everything was just seasoned to perfection. The drink! They have a coconut mojito that will make you wish you were at the beach! We will definitely be coming back again and bring family and friends. Thank you so much!!100000% satisfied. I see the reviews that have less than 5 stars and that's impossible there is no wayyyyy this places takes less than 5 stars.

At the end, we ended up seating outside and all the time wasted could have been to help other people. Our server was friendly, but since we were outside she would take awhile to come outside. The meatloaf was a big plate and my husband could not finish it. He did say it was a bit salty. The shrimp and grits were great (would recommend). My son's chicken tenders were great as well and looked homemade and not like it came from a frozen bag. There is paid parking around the area. It was a 60 degree day but with jackets on, the weather felt amazing. When we had stepped into the restaurant it had felt too stuffy, so I am glad we got to seat outside.

We were seated outside which was lovely, especially given the weather and the slight breeze. I appreciate that they offer an option for reservations. Many brunch places do not do those nowadays, which I hate. Every brunch requires a coffee. I appreciate that they do lattes here, rather than just hot or iced coffees. They had some unique syrups, such as bourbon caramel and praline. The syrups were on the more subtle side, which some people prefer. I am not one of those people, but it was a good latte for a breakfast/ brunch spot. I wish there was more ice tho.  The skillet cornbread with sharp cheddar, creamed corn & garlic, honey butter & house made seasonal jam on the side was a great starter dish. I enjoyed the garlic and cheese. The temperature/ toastiness of this was yummy.  We couldn't decide between the cornbread and the sticky bun, so the only obvious solution was to order both. The topping of the sticky bun was delicious. It was almost pecan pie adjacent.

I waited over 30 minutes for two drinks that took roughly three minutes to prepare. The employee only started making them after I asked whether my order was ready. Her explanation was that they don't make online orders until customers show up because some people never come, or because ice might melt. That's not how mobile ordering works. The entire reason people order ahead is so the drinks are ready when they arrive. Instead, my order was apparently ignored while I stood there waiting with no communication whatsoever. If customers are expected to announce themselves before their order will even be started, that should be clearly stated when ordering. Otherwise, this is just wasting people's time and defeating the purpose of the service entirely. Extremely frustrating experience.

I ordered a Guinness and we moved to the back area as our group grew too large to have at the small front tables. They have breakfast and lunch available and had an impressive menu for what I thought was just a bar. We asked our server what she recommended and she said the waffle fries and French toast are great. While we passed on the French Toast (this time- I'm more of a savory breakfast person) we did get waffle fries ($7) and their Zebra Special ($15.50) that comes with two eggs, meat (ham, bacon or sausage), hash browns, and choice of toast. We paid a little extra to get a biscuit with gravy instead of toast. We also ordered jello shots for the group and it was very fun having morning jello shots with breakfast. They have a lot of televisions here and seem to serve as a watch party destination for a lot of sports fans. They also have an outdoor area, which is great for groups, but we also noticed that the small of people smoking wafted into the inner dining area from outside which was a drawback for me. The staff here was so nice and attentive and we had so much fun with our group here. Would highly recommend checking them out.

I see some reviews on here stating that it is impossible to order anything from their menu because the selections were too much. Or the variety of food selections on the menu was too much. Well..I say that they are wrong. Their menu caters to Hispanic and American food. YES, they have burgers on the menu. Yes, they have enchiladas and Salads and Soups if you dont feel like eating anything heavy, they have a lighter selection for you as well. And for my VEGANS out there...Tower Cafe also has some great selections for you as well. Please understand if you can't figure what you want to eat, honey its not the menu's fault. Thank You Toodles
