We were 3 people and got seated immediately on a busy Friday evening without prior reservation…read more Since they have the rooftop open, seating seems to be plenty. This place serves gluten free food and that's what I like about it. We ordered Chicken Fajitas and it came with some salsa, guacamole and tortillas. It was 10 on 10. Next was Shrimp tacos and it didn't disappoint either. The chicken wings were a bit too sweet for my taste. They used to have a Roasted Chicken dish but the server said that they just recently removed it from the menu. It used to be my go to order in this restaurant. Overall it was a great dinner. Their servers are always very friendly and attentive. Only issue is they are a little slow in taking the order but hopefully it was just because of the rush time.

Mexi-Can Acopio is a…read morephoenix-rising-from-the-ashes story, as this building was the original home of Lorena's Taqueria before a terrible fire in 2012 forced them to relocate to their new digs on N. 13th St. Wisely, the family held onto the property for years before their chef-trained daughter, and the restaurant's namesake, Lorena, decided to repurpose it into a contemporary, elevated Mexican restaurant, along with her also chef-trained brother and a few others whose combined oeuvre of experience includes Michelin-starred Chez TJ, Alexander's-by-the-Sea, and Naschmarkt, to name a few. The Good: * A small private lot, as well as street parking, is available. * Reservations via their website * Outdoor, dog-friendly seating * Great bar program with signature cocktails and a nice selection of local brews on tap * Small, curated menu that changes seasonally * Great service from our server, Jayleen * Costillas de Elote (aka corn ribs) may seem like a nothing dish, but man, it was bursting with flavor and was one of the (many) highlights of the night * The Carne en su Jugo was a great riff on a classic French cassoulet, but with a Mexi kick in flavor * I couldn't resist the Duck Mole dish, as it featured two of my favorite foods in one savory and delicious plate. The confit duck leg was fantastic and fell off the bone, and the sweet and savory chocolate mole was the perfect foil. However, to me, the unheralded star of the dish was the fried masa brick, done up like a classic potato pavé, which deserves a special shoutout * For dessert, their rendition of Tres Leches cake was fantastic! The crispy turulete (corn-based cookie) on top gave a nice crunch to go along with the sweet cake, and the tart notes from the green apples really tied it all together for a complex and delicious dessert The Meh: * Happy Hour (Wed-Sat, 5 p.m.-6:30 p.m., and all day on Sun) menu and drinks are limited to the bar area only * Only open for dinner * As many have noted, the neighborhood is a little sus, but honestly, it's not that bad. Just lock your car (as you should everywhere these days), and you'll be fine--I promise The Ugly: * The number of people I know--or have seen online--who hate on elevated Mexican cuisine is kinda crazy. As if only French or American cuisines are allowed to be fancy--it's honestly a bunch of bullshit. If anything, LUNA has shown for years now that it can be done, and Acopio continues in that vein Conclusion: I had high expectations coming in, and Acopio met or exceeded every one of them. I'm a bit surprised they haven't received a nod from the Michelin Guide yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if one is in the works at some point in the future. Highly recommended.

The right time has some because we are celebrating our anniversary so we picked a quiet time and book a table to enjoy our dinner. To my surprise, the restaurant is not too big and it was pretty crowded when we arrived, I am so glad we booked a table or we might have to wait for sometime. Based on the recommendations by the yelpers we ordered some popular dishes and they were all excellent! Definitely worth the recommendations.

Check your empanada for mold!…read more We stopped by for breakfast and got chilaquiles and a chicken and mole empanada. Enjoyed our chilaquiles (do try this if you stop by), and were wrapping up our meal with the empanada when we discovered a chunk of fuzzy blue grey mold in the MIDDLE of the empanada about 1" in length and 3/8" wide. The empanada was already cut in half and wasn't showing from the outside or the cut area, but the mold was in one half of the empanada and I broke the other half which was normal looking. Thankfully we spit it out, and didn't eat the bite that we took. The waitress had offered to replace it but we said no because we were so shocked. We were kind of disappointed that the manager didn't try to come and address the issue with us. Just left it to their serving staff who quickly cleared our table and gave us the check. Might go back for the other food items, but definitely NOT the empanadas.

My favorite thing was the coffee horchata which was perfectly sweet and had a good amount. The food was okay, we got the chicken chipotle empanada which had good flavor but wish it had more meat. The steak ranchero and eggs was nothing special the meat was very chewy. The same with the steak sandwich the meat was very chewy. Altogether if you are in the area, the service is good but the food is alright!

She was incredibly patient in explaining the menu and took the time to describe each dish and its unique features, which was extremely helpful for first-time visitors like us. My friend was interested in a dinner item, and Angelica went above and beyond by kindly checking with the kitchen to see if it could be prepared for us during lunch. The food was great, but Angelica's outstanding service made the experience truly memorable. Her friendliness, knowledge, and willingness to help made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be coming back and recommending Sun of Wolf to our friends and family.

On this occasion, we came here on a Friday evening, we had made reservations for 6 of us. I personally ordered the agua fresca-pineapple and the lasagna. We ordered 2 chips and salsa for the table and the others ordered, arugula salad, tacos de carnitas, mahi mahi tacos, hamachi tostadas and drinks such as the spicy tamarindo, mocktail and margarita. Everyone loved their selections. One of my friends ordered the chocolate tart and the chocolate was too rich for my liking but the mousse that accompanied it was soo good, very tart and tropical. This restaurant is on California Ave., no restaurant parking but there is street parking nearby, although not on this street since its closed off to vehicle traffic. There is also a parking lot and a parking garage nearby. Once you eat, you can take a nice stroll down the Ave. Check online for details but once a month, on Thursdays, the city helps to sponsor a Thursday Live events with music, giveaways and games. Even without the Thursday Live events...this restaurant is a must if you are in the area.

My first impression of the place was that it looked very instagram photo worthy. Beautiful restaurant and I loved the mirrors going towards the bathroom. I also liked the way the bar was set up. Drinks were my favorite thing about this experience. Super tasty and I loved the creativity behind the drinks. The food was delicious as well. My boyfriend and I got the Mexican sashimi and the bone marrow. The bone marrow didn't have much marrow in it but I loved how crunchy the toast was that came with it. The Mexican sashimi was great and I loved the spice kick that it had with it. The service was not worth the 20% auto gratuity but I understand that's what you have to pay with a large party. He might've been training because he had someone following him so maybe that was the case but it also seemed like we were his only table. It wasn't super busy since the World Cup games were going on and people are at other places. One of my friends drink didn't come with the usual cotton candy that her first one did so we asked for some to add on and we watched him walk over to the service well and stand there chatting. I thought he was waiting on the bartender to get him the cotton candy but after a while I realized he wasn't getting the cotton candy. So 3 stars because I really did enjoy the atmosphere, drinks and food but that's about it. Not sure if I would come back again.

The jambalaya was full of flavors and filled with fresh ingredients: shrimps, mahi, spinach, zucchini, tomatoes, and okra. It also came with taquitos and they were delicious. Everything balanced each others so well and paired perfectly with all the hot sauces they offered. I'm not a fan of the avocado dip. It was okay. I would rather just get the salsa and chips. The place was big and have plenty of seatings. However, it started to get packed and open table became nonexistent. Out of all the Aqui locations I've gone to, the interior of this place is my fav. Service was fast and efficient. They routinely cleaned the table and picked up any empty dishes.
