They have a lineup of fun classic arcade games in the front area near the bar, and then there's a larger space with pinball and other arcade games in the back. The ambiance is great with fun wall art, moody lighting, and dark interior. They have cocktails, mocktails/NA options, and food available as well. The bartender was kind and even gave us some tokens another guest had left behind! Games aren't cheap - about $1 per person per play - but I suppose that's what they run these days. We played: NBA Jam Big Buck Hunter Pacman 4-player Guitar Hero Arcade and a few others! Fun with a small group or solo for a few drinks with an activity.

They have really cool plant hangers above the lights. There is cozy seating with couches, bar seating or tables and chairs. They also have outdoor seating with umbrellas. It was a hot day, so we chose to sit inside at a table. We were welcomed and given a description of their offerings. Looking at the menu, Method gives you traditional cocktails made with M&M's spirits. Muse is their spin on that cocktail. I chose the Sparkling Cosmo. It is a mixture of their gin, orange liqueur, cranberry, lime and soda, a refreshing drink. My husband asked for an Old Fashioned. It happen to be something not on their standard menu, but they had no issue making it. He liked the touch of having a large square ice cube stamped with their logo in the glass. The service was attentive. The prices seem on par with the types of drinks we ordered. I would go back.

I walked into Takiza expecting... nothing special. You know the vibe--new taco spot, cute name,…read moreprobably decent, maybe a little overhyped, I'll sip a beer and mind my business. WRONG. IMMEDIATELY WRONG. This place said "lower your expectations so we can absolutely destroy them." First of all--Karina. Bartender. Waitress. Possibly a time traveler?? This woman was at every table, shaking cocktails, dropping plates, checking vibes, probably solving world peace in the back between orders. GIRL. HOW. DO. YOU. DO. THIS. Fast, sharp, funny--Karina is the moment. Promote her. Protect her. Build her a statue out of limes and taco shells. Now let's talk about the chicharrones, because this is where we separate the amateurs from the legends. This is the one thing you cannot fake. Either you nail it or I start planning my dramatic Yelp exit mid-bite. These?I nearly fell clean off my barstool. CRUNCH that echoed through my ancestors. Juicy, decadent, perfectly salted--OH. HELL. YEAH. I haven't had chicharrones this good in years. YEARS. I blacked out for a second and came back whispering "we're safe... dinner is going to be amazing." Then the street corn showed up like it had a personal vendetta against bland food. Juicy, messy, unapologetic. I'm talking juice dripping down my elbow, chin glistening like I just ran a marathon through a summer street fair. I could feel the heat rising off imaginary pavement. If your food doesn't make you slightly feral, what are we even doing? And then, brace yourselves, the street tacos.FRIED. OUTER. SHELLS. WHO gave them permission to go this hard?? I stared at them like they just told me a secret. Golden, crispy edges with that soft, flavorful center... I was not emotionally prepared. Asada tacos? Oh she's elegant. She's balanced. She brought friends: fresh lime, guac, onion, radish, slaw, pickled red onion--like a full cast of characters and every single one understood the assignment. The steak? Tender, flavorful, not out here fighting for attention. Just a lovely, confident bite. We love a secure queen. Now... ceviche.Listen. I am insufferable about ceviche. I know this. I accept this. It was good--delightful, even--but I like mine to slap me across the face and steal my wallet. This one leaned a little sweet, a little polite. And I'm over here like, "where's the chaos?? where's the lime that makes me question my life choices??" Remember the rule: pain and poor decisions.(In my food. Relax.) Final verdict?Takiza did not come to play. It came to dominate your tastebuds, ruin lesser taco spots for you, and leave you texting Karina like "u up?" 5 stars. No notes. Okay... one note:I will be back, and I will be hungrier

Our bartender was great although he likely needs some support as he wasn't able to check in on us as much as we would have liked. We waited for quite some time during courses and to cash out. Not the end of the world but room to improve. We only ordered margaritas - a flight, a house and the coin. All were very sweet except the coin. A little more balance could go a long way. We enjoyed the choriqueso, two tacos and the green chili enchiladas. My partner made a comment that summed things up well for our visit: It feels like they're trying too hard. Maybe. The chiroqueao was overly salted and the green chili chicken was overly spiced - so much so that we took two of the three home. There's something to be said for well balanced meals, flavors and cocktails. Takiza missed the mark for us. Easy edits though. This wouldn't be an everyday option for us, price wise. This meal was right at $100. Maybe we'll return.

Drinks: They used cheaper tequila. my body cannot handle cheap tequila, but higher end stuff is just fine. how can I tell? I was sweating tequila the next day after one margarita.
