    It was nearly two years ago I tried to visit the del ray location but it was raining and at the time they couldn't be open in those conditions, so it was fitting to visit the mosaic location and eat comfortably outside, as it rained. The decor is vibrant and inviting. We tried a variety of food: sharp dressed man, Baja taco, walking taco, and half pound pork ribs. The margarita was good and he liked the beer selection. My favorite parts were the cinco de mayo specials for drinks and the sharp dressed man. Didn't love the total price at the end but would certainly do any specials or HH.

    I stumbled into this place as it used to be the red apron. The owners are the same but this is their new concept. I love tex mex but many places are not good. I came for lunch and got the brisket nachos and a margarita. The nachos were huge portion but the brisket was moist and tender. The margarita was tasty but small for the price tag. Since I came on weekday, there was only a few people inside. The server behind the register was very helpful and even bussed table. I am happy I came in and will definitely be back with friends.

    A group of friends and I came here around 5:30 on a Thursday evening. The girl that runs our dinner group had tried to call in advance to make a reservation since we had roughly 7-10 people coming in our group. She was put on hold before someone hung up on her. When she called back all the person could give her was an "I'm sorry." The service started off okay and when we placed food and drink orders it came fairly quickly. After our food and first round of drinks arrived, service went down hill. In the groups opinion, they seemed overwhelmed hence the poor service at the end. Food and cocktails were great! I ordered three tacos: 1) Sweet Potato Al Pastor 2) taco night in America 3) yard bird taco. (Also in order of which ones I liked best). Overall, food and drinks were delicious, but service could've been better.

    Dinner on the early side, so the restaurant wasn't crowded yet. It's an order-at-the-counter kind of place, then pick a booth. Tables have a refillable water bottle and a few cups, as well as a stack of napkins. Ambiance is fine. You can see the food prep area and there were some counter seats along that area. Service was friendly and fast. I asked for some recommendations and as the worker shared his favorites, it hit me that I was in a bbq place but couldn't smell a whiff of it. That seemed really odd to me, like maybe the meats were smoked elsewhere? We ordered the chips and queso ($9), which was lukewarm although it had good flavor (hotter would have been way better). I had the 1/4 lb. chopped brisket ($21) that came with rice, beans and three corn tortillas, as well as pickled peppers and onions, a creamy salsa verde, and crema. The beef was fine, nothing amazing and again with no bbq scent. Rice and beans were smoky and had a lot of flavor. Portion size is average, not overly generous but not wasteful. The place started filling up around 7 pm and we saw lots of carry out orders heading out throughout our time there.

    We had high hopes but everything about our visit fell flat. The ordering system was confusing, employees were apathetic at best when they actually paid us attention, the dining space was cluttered with boxes, and the food was just unappetizing. For a cuisine that should be full of flavor, this had none. I'm usually willing to give new spots a second try as they work out the kinks, but I don't really want to return here. I hate writing these kinds of reviews, but this one felt necessary.

    This place has the best smash burger you will ever have. The service never disappoints specifically Zach and Sam always bring kind and attentive energy. Zach has served us more than once and is always spot on to what we need. The drinks are phenomenal and overall if you looking for a place with good food a chill ambiance that gives a speak easy vibe this is the one.

    Not too busy, fun atmosphere, good service, decent food. They got my friend's order wrong but managed it very well by correcting it, apologized for the mistake, great attitudes, and actually taking it off the bill. All our food was cold so that was unexpected, with the exception of a hot Birria burrito. It was surprising that the rice, beans, and consommé were cold too. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The fries were hot, crispy, and salty. Chips and queso, chips are on the thicker side, a tiny bit stale but edible. Not something you can't stop munching on. The Birria burrito was warm and pretty good. Overall nice experience and would probably get better as they get more into the grove.

There are some parking spots right in front, although not many. There is a decent amount of seating, but it would be tight if you had a large party. My partner did note that the bathrooms weren't that great. You immediately get served complementary chips and salsa. They were pretty basic, but not bad. We ordered the following: + Papusas (Pork and Cheese & Loroco and Cheese) - Decent, although I prefer the Loroco (an edible flower bud). + Pollo à la Primavera (chicken dish) - Yummy, especially the sauce which mixes well with their hot/spicy sauce too! I could do without the salad dressing. + Camarones con Calabeza (shrimp dish) - Same as above! Note they leave the tails on. + Natural Juices (Mango and Maranon) - So refreshing! I loved the Maranon (cashew apple) was a wonderful burst of tropical sweetness with a subtle nutty taste. I appreciate that for the pupusas they had the foresight to provide my partner and I two plates so we could sphere the papusas. The portion sizes of the entrees were great for the price. It did take a while for the staff to swing by so that we could get boxes and the check. Note that credit cards and mobile pay are accepted. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back again to try more items on their menu.

We were promptly seated for dinner and my wife asked for a ginger beer to which the server indicated he didn't think they served ginger beer. My wife indicated that it's on the menu so the server lost instant credibility by saying they didn't have it, and didn't bother to say he would go check. The server brought chips and salsa which we thought were ok. The chips were really thin and the salsa was runny to the point I got it all over the table. Despite asking the server for napkins, he didn't bring any after 10 mins of waiting. I ended up going to the kitchen and asking if I could have napkins and brought them back to the table myself. Totally ridiculous that a customer has to serve themself. Restaurant cleanliness appeared to be problematic with napkins and debris on the floor, and tables that took 30 mins to get cleaned after patrons left. My wife had fajitas and thought they were good. I had a burrito that had a very thick tortilla to the point I felt like I was eating bread. Some of the steak in the burrito was medium-rare despite not being asked for my preference of how I wanted it cooked. You would think that would be well done in this instance. Needless to say, my wife said we're not returning and I'm not going to fight her over it. I don't recall our first experience being this way but the service and food have definitely changed for the worst.

The ambience is lively without feeling cramped, which makes it an easy place to settle in after work. Happy Hour: Their happy hour is definitely the main draw. The large margaritas are priced extremely well, and when the mix is right, they're excellent. The only downside is consistency -- sometimes the drinks have a good balance of alcohol, and other times they taste more like lemonade and feel watered down. The appetizer prices are also great. We ordered the fried wings and Mexican rice; both were okay and edible, but not particularly memorable compared to other spots. Service: Service was generally good, but with only one bartender covering the entire bar, there were stretches where he disappeared or was tied up. Nothing terrible, just not the level of attentiveness you get at places with more staff behind the bar. Overall: Despite the inconsistencies, we'd come back. The happy hour prices are hard to beat, and when the drinks hit right, it's worth the visit.

They have lots of delicious dishes but we both always get the Steak Fajitas. You get 10oz of marinated skirt steak and that marinade is fire. The steak comes on a sizzling platter with a side of Mexican butter. Butter y'all! You 100% want to pour that butter all over the steak and the sautéed green peppers and onions. This was a new thing for me, but the flavor is incredible. This steak just melts in your mouth. I'm salivating thinking about it. This entree is way too big of a serving to eat at once, but I typically do and am way too full. It's that good! The Fajitas are served with Mexican rice, a la charra beans, guacamole, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream and homemade tortillas on the side. The charra beans are also a unique touch. They are hearty and flavorful. Must also brag on their homemade tortillas. To me, the flour is where it's at. They are so soft. You can actually watch them making them fresh from your table. When you put all the fajitas components together and take a bite, it's really delish. Chips and salsa is also stellar, as is their fresh guacamole and queso. If you are going to get a margarita just go ahead and get the large size. They are yummy and it's a better deal than ordering two. Their restaurants are large so lots of tables to accommodate small and large parties alike. It's a casual joint so great for families, celebrations, date night. Service is always quick and attentive, even when they are very busy. If you want a great Mexican meal, come to Guapos. Get those steak fajitas. No notes.
