    Omg if you have never had a soft serve margarita you are missing out! This is amazing! This place is in the middle of nowhere and was packed. Food is good, great service and get a soft serve!!! They change the flavors often!

    Kalaveras Burrito
    Kirby H.

    Asked the waiter what was his favorite, he said the jalapeño steak burrito. It was awesome. Friends had shrimp tacos and they were great. Blackberry mojito was nice and tart. Only meh thing was my wife's fajita salad. The best thing here however was the vibe. Manager was so welcoming throughout asking for drink refills, etc. Great for a birthday celebration as well.

    Great place. A step above your average Mexican restaurant. It's going to be even better when it's warmer and the outside area is used.

    The food was delicious and authentic! We went on a Friday evening not knowing they had live music! It was a bit of a wait to get our order because they were so busy, but the servers and staff were very friendly and attentive.

    Diablo Tacos

    What great service and happy people behind the bar here! We came in Friday evening to have some food and check this new place out, not disappointed! Food was delicious and it has a really fun vibe. The tacos were delicious!! The sauce on the diablos spicy - obviously but be careful. The jalapeño burrito was great with queso and not too spicy unless you actually ate the jalapeño on top - awesome presentation. Thank you for the great service! We will be back.

    Birria tacos

    Table was recommended for the great view...and it only got better. Our server Carlos was knowledgeabl, friendly, and helpful. Birria tacos were phenomenal as well as camirones cucuy. Great margaritas and lots of fun. Can't wait to return with friends!

    Charro Tilapia
    Carl W.

    This place was formerly known as Casa Bonita which we were not really fans of. Not sure what has changed besides the name. I had the Charro Tilapia which had a pan fried filet of Tilapia paired with some shrimp, peppers and onion in chipotle sauce. The dish seemed freshly cooked and it was delicious. We also ordered two bowls of chicken tortilla soup. It would have been good but was way too salty and instead of chicken chunks, had shredded chicken. The kids meal of taco, rice and beans seemed fine but nothing special. Service was very good although it was not busy at the time. Worth another try!

    Dropped in for an early dinner. Thoroughly loved the experience. Food was delicious and the service prompt, professional, and friendly. The ambience is modern, clean, and relaxing. I'll be returning to try out many more dishes.

The booth I sat in was ran down, you shouldn't sink into the booths when you find that perfect "@ss spot" being used for over 5 years. (Pet peeve of mines, this is why I hate booths). The menu is sort of all over the place with no cohesiveness. The price points for the quality and quantity is off for me, way off. I wanted the wedge salad but was told they have no ranch... "how don't you have ranch" I ordered the chicken piccata, it was nothing to write home about. Strike two when the waiter asked did I "need any salt and pepper, hot sauce". (Eyebrow raise, hot sauce!?!?) They warmed the frozen chicken breast up nice. The sauce was good but a burnt flavor lingered. Not sure if it was the sauce or the burnt vegetables. The mashed potatoes were congealed and flavorless. After I found a dime sized black flat ball of something in the mashed potatoes I had enough. I looked at all the beautiful dishes on yelp before I came here. ***WARNING*** if you don't see good pics and reviews within 10 months or so old, DONT DO IT! I can imagine the locals are helping to keep this place alive...

Quintaesencia was great to work with in June 2026 at accommodating our large group of 21 women, providing is with ample space, a dedicated server, and even making separate checks for all of us. To the surprise of no one, I love South American food. Okay, I like most ethnic cuisines, if not all, but I really love foods like arepas, chimmichuri steak, asado, empanadas, etc! I looked at the menu ahead of time and settled on some faves of mine, arepas and yucca fries, but others in the group ordered a variety of dishes amd drinks, all of which were delicious! I stuck with water as my beverage because the cocktails/mocktails were a bit too pricey for me. I ordered the trio arepas ($18) and a side order of yucca fries ($5), which were very filling and sprinkled with cheese. I liked my meal a lot although I would like to see a few more types of arepas offered on the menu. Our server, Valeria, was absolutely amazing and served our party of 21 women quickly and efficiently. There was a 3% card usage fee as well as an automatic 20% gratiuiy for parties of 6 or more, so after paying with card, my total bill was $30.54. I left full and happy and hope to come back again to try their other dishes, particularly their pizzas and a creative cocktail or two.

    My husband and I came here for a date night and had a wonderful experience. We had a 7:30…read morereservation and even though it was a busy time, our table was ready when we arrived. The hostess greeted us warmly and kindly walked us to our table. Our server, Cam, was excellent--very polite, attentive, and a great communicator throughout the evening. We started with three appetizers: the baked brie with poached pear, bang bang shrimp, and the French onion soup. All three were delicious and well seasoned. The baked brie with poached pear was especially amazing, and the French onion soup had wonderful flavor. For drinks, we tried the basil lemonade mocktail and white chocolate martinis. The martinis were fantastic--rich, chocolatey, and delicious. The mocktail was refreshing but could have used a little more flavor. For our entrées, I ordered the seafood pasta and my husband ordered the beer-battered cod special. His fish was perfectly seasoned and the batter was crispy and delicious. My seafood pasta initially came out a little dry and needed more sauce. When we let Cam know, he immediately communicated with the kitchen and they brought out a freshly made sauce right away, which made the dish much more flavorful and delicious. The atmosphere was great and the entire staff seemed friendly and professional. Overall, we had a really nice date night and appreciated the attentive service. We'll definitely be back again soon! If you'd like, I can also make a shorter Yelp version (which tends to get more engagement) or a funny/lighthearted version for date-night vibes.

Food: when we were handed the menu, i wasn't expecting anything special and initially thought we'd potentially made a mistake stopping here for lunch. however, i'm pleased to say, the food was really delicious. Danielle had a Turkey Reuben (not on the menu, but they were kind enough to make it). we shared a basket of fries and they were also great - probably more than we needed and a 1/2 basket would have been fine. i had a bowl of chili and a chicken philly. The chili was incredible. i normally have to doctor up a chili w/ a sugar substitute to cut the acid. this didn't need that and had a really nice heat to it. it came with some sort of corn tortillas that i'd never seen but which really made for a nice accompaniment. the sandwich was ok. the taste was good but the chicken was overcooked and dry and i had trouble chewing through the onion, too. overall, 4.5-5 stars for the food. Service: i don't know how i feel about the service. it wasn't really anything special. the bartender was the only person working the front and maybe he was just tired. he wasn't rude or anything just kinda going through the motions. i don't hold it against him at all. in fact, he was - as i'd mentioned before - kind enough to allow Danielle to order a sandwich that wasn't on the menu. Ambiance: i mean, let's be honest. the place is a dive. Danielle apparently knows the owners and says they've never put any money into it and it's kinda obvious. i haven't been there in nearly 20 years prior to Saturday and nothing had changed. where we were sitting the brick floor was beginning to break away from the wall. kinda makes you wonder how long before daylight will be shining through. anyway, overall i really liked my lunch and i'd be happy to add Sip-n-Post to our regular rotation.
