Was craving Mexican food while in town and found this lively spot on Yelp. And boy am I glad I…read moredid. This place is best described as a trendy, somewhat upscale Mexican restaurant. The ambience is awesome, dimly lit with lively music bumping. Not only is the environment lively, the food and drinks are AWESOME. I sat at the self seating bar as I was dining solo. The bartender, very friendly guy, took my order. Forgot his name but he is a good looking guy, which sort of fits the upscale scene. Every table gets complimentary salsa tray which I presume has avocado salsa, verde, mocajete, and limes. The salsas were DELICIOUS. I do wish they gave some complimentary chips along with it. Everything I ordered: Carne asada burrito, substitute beans with rice - 9/10. Was very delicious especially when accompanied with the salsas. For the drinks: Oaxaca Old Fashioned - 10/10. I love old fashioneds and they nailed it here. Instead of whiskey, they use mezcal which was delicious. Agave Spritz - 10/10. Mezcal with prosecco. Fantastic. No words. The only thing I would recommend to the restaurant is including prices of the cocktails on the menu. After finishing eating I had no idea what the damage would be but it turned out to be very reasonable, $13 per cocktail. I wish I gave this place a shot earlier during my work trip, but anyhow if I am ever back in town, this is in my highly recommended list of restaurants. They also had one projector screen showing the World Cup game. They also have Happy Hour 3-6 PM. Parking is plentiful, shared with the rest of the plaza. Would I come back? You bet.

However I went with a friend who ordered a santo chile (or something) and the plate looked delicious. Their queso fundido was the best part of my experience combined with the Tamarindo agua Fresca. Apologies did not take a picture. I will update as I want to go again before I leave town.

As I preceded to walk out towards the exit, I apologized to some workers who were cleaning I noticed it was around 2:06am so a little after closing their original time at 2 am. As I was headed out the door by the pool table, a bartender with a backwards cap, proceeded to yell ' Get the f*** out now' in an aggressive tone. It was extremely disrespectful as I was already apologizing and making our way out. No one came in the girls restrooms(there was a female worker there) to let us know anything.

Our second visit was on Valentine's Day two years ago, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. We had reservations, but by the time someone came to take our order, several menu items were already sold out. What made it more frustrating was that they continued seating people without reservations while guests with reservations were still waiting. We waited more than a year before coming back, hoping our first experience was the standard and the Valentine's Day visit was just a bad night. Unfortunately, this visit was also disappointing. Service was slow, we were served the wrong wine even after spelling it out for the waitress, and the whiskey I ordered was also incorrect. The food was not cooked properly, and the lobster mac and cheese came out cold. For a $300+ dinner, I expect much better. I understand this is the Valley, and I genuinely try to support local small businesses, but consistency matters -- especially at this price point. After two poor experiences in a row, it is hard to justify coming back.

Ambiance and staff was nice…read more Prices are extremely high for their whiskey selection. A pour was at least $45 for a $120 bottle. Disappointing for such a nice whiskey selection but having outrageous prices to try anything. Lobster Mac and cheese was $22 for a small portion and was dry. Not the tastiest and could have been better and would have been worth the $22, but we do not recommend. Chilean sea bass was good. Risotto was a little hard and bland. One of the pastas was selected that was very tasty, but very small portion. Brussel sprouts were uniquely cooked. Crème brûlée was tasty. We did hear prices were expensive. It was not an awful experience for visiting the area.

We got seated right away thanks to our reservation and the place wasn't too loud; it was just right to be lively, but also carry on a conversation with your group. We ordered the Anza Burrata (Burrata cheese, Coachella Valley roasted grapes, hot honey, pistachio, side of warm sourdough boulé); the Caesar Salad (Baby Gem Lettuce, Parmigiano-Reggiano, House Croutons, Garlic Dressing, Seed Mix); and Braised Short Rib (BRANDT beef, potato puree, grilled broccolini, sweet garlic). Everything was great! The burrata was incredible and the bread had a lovely combo of flavors. The short rib was fall off the bone tender and delicious. And the salad was flavorful, too.

Don't you just love it when a restaurant gets things right?…read more Owners Roberto and Rina ("Reina") Perez have figured out how to prepare and present home cooking in a commercial setting, and, in doing so, have shown that they understand the importance of "home" in that construct. Some of this is no surprise to me. Reina is cousin to Rodnia Attiq (nee Navarro), who, with her mother Rosario Sotelo owned San Diego's El Borrego for almost 25 years, until they closed their business at the end of 2025. Having been welcomed and fed many times with homely care at El Borrego, I'm not surprised that the family connection - and the warmth and hospitality included in it - extends to Cousin Reina. If you're having a bad day, it's worth dropping in for a bite to eat just so you can say "hi" to her. Between the food and the greeting you'll receive, you'll leave feeling better about things. So what to eat? Depending on the time of day and how hungry you are, you'll be pleased with Cazuelitas; Pozole Rojo or the herby Guerrero-style Pozole Verde; hearty Tlacoyos; large Enchilada plates; or probably my favorite Mexican dish, Mixiote de Borrego, which is lamb that's spiced, marinated and slow-steamed until it falls off the bone. I've eated most of those things and seen the rest on my fellow diners' tables. Especially now that El Borrego is gone, if El Centro wasn't a two-hour drive from my house, I'd be a regular, so that I could continue sampling the superb and wide-ranging menu at Antojito Como En Casa.
