They have a form you can request at the bar to fill out for a reservation. We ended up not making a formal reservation but we did inform them about our guest count. They let us bring flowers to decorate tables and they even let us hang up a banner. I had so much fun and am so glad we were able to have our party there. The manager was great and she even went out of her way to make is a custom drink menu. They were adorable! The bar is really spacious so we had plenty of room for our guests. The drinks are yummy and I heard many of my guests complimenting the drinks too. The bathrooms and general bar are always really clean, which is a huge plus. Also, there's a great patio out back. There's lots of convenient parking in this area too.

There's no floor service, and the bartenders won't even acknowledge you unless you walk right up to the bar. There is zero waitress service, and the bartenders completely ignore you until you approach them. When we finally got ordered, our drinks were served in the smallest plastic cups,. The excuse? "Due to fights." But yet the price was the same, as a normal cocktail drink. Yet, my boyfriend was served a Corona in a literal glass bottle... go figure. Food also comes on paper plates. To top it off, the male bartender was not welcoming at all!!

We ended up getting the rib eye aguachile as a appetizer and they definitely do not care about portions. It was a huge cut but the sauce is what takes it over the top. The other plates were Camarones Al Mojo basically garlic shrimp with rice and beans. Soooo much flavor and keep in mind they come with home made tortillas. Lastly we ended up with the trio ceviche. Each definitely had there own thing going. Must try. Service was quick and efficient will definitely come back to try other plates.

It took forever for the waiter to bring us water, and he didn't even bring silverware until after our food arrived. We actually had to ask if we could get some so we could eat. There was only one person doing everything, and at most there were three tables occupied, so I can't imagine what the service would be like when this place is actually busy. We also waited quite a while for our food to come out. The cook/chef definitely wasn't in any hurry. Maybe this is a great bar, because I see it has some high ratings, but as a restaurant experience, we were not impressed. We ordered the fried fish tacos, which I had heard good things about. You get four pieces of fish on one taco, but at $9 for a single taco, I just don't think it's worth it. The ribeye steak and shrimp taco had plenty of ribeye, but very little shrimp. It was around $30-something for one taco, and it didn't come with rice or beans. I'll let you look at the pictures and decide if you think it's worth the price. The trio tacos were supposed to include al pastor, but they were out of it, so they substituted a shrimp taco. That came with rice and beans, but unfortunately the beans were so cold that the cheese hadn't even melted. It was literally sitting there in a chunk. I also ordered the whole grilled fish. The fish itself was tasty, but at $33 for the meal, I wouldn't order it again at that price. Overall, the food had flavor, but the experience just wasn't worth the $95 we spent for four people. The combination of slow service, food taking too long, cold beans, small portions for the price, and the lack of attention from the waiter really took away from the meal. For me, this is a 3-star experience at best. I wouldn't come back, and I probably wouldn't go out of my way to try their other locations either. There are just too many places where I feel you get better food, service, and value for your money.

My daughter and I recently hosted an event at @MariscosLaPalma, where we fulfilled our contractual obligations, but the venue fell short of expectations, failed to honor the contract, and unexpectedly ended our celebration two hours early. Following the event, the owner refused reimbursement. It was concerning that the bartender prioritized interactions with vendors over addressing our contractual concerns. We strongly advise prospective clients to prioritize clear communication, explicit agreements, and thorough documentation, including emails, videos, and screenshots. Additionally, maintaining an accurate inventory of beverages is crucial. Upon reviewing the event, discrepancies in drink availability and unauthorized charges were uncovered. Despite our efforts to resolve these issues with the owner, he neglected to engage with us directly. We stress the importance of verifying contractual terms and ensuring access to drink replenishment areas. read more

Fast forward a few years and I come back to this location with my family and a few friends. We got pretty quick service when it came to ordering. The drinks came out fast, then the food. Everything looked pretty good at first. My kids ordered the corn dogs and kids pizza. Pretty standard kid options to be honest, but what was inside was anything from standard or ok. The corn dogs came out first and they were piping hot. So my wife and I cut the top off to allow it to cool down a bit before feeding it to our 2 year old... what we saw shocked us... I don't know if you can tell from the photos but it looked so disgusting in person. It looked raw, and freezer burnt all at the same time. I showed it to the staff and asked if they thought this was acceptable, immediately said no and offered to bring us a new plate. In the meantime, my 7year old was letting their pizza cool down and when it finally did and he pulled it apart, the dough was still raw, by raw I mean it was a "frozen pizza that was put into a microwave" (their words, not mine) and when I brought it to their attention they apologized and offered a new plate as well. The waiter comes back and uttered those words up top. "Do you want to choose something else? It's going to come out the same since it just frozen and put into a microwave" so my son decides on the next best thing for him. A simple bean and cheese burrito.... But what we got was anything but the best.... It was luke warm beans with unmelted cheese that they rolled up and put on the stove top to burn up the outsides to make it look pretty. To top off the experience, the waiter was very attentive, granted. But please, for the love of health when you refill mine or my child's drink please DO NOT take out our straws with your bare hands and put them into our new drinks... that's just gross!!!!

First off, the Stuffed Bone Marrow beef tacos were the best beef tacos that I've ever had in my…read morelife!!! Although it was $24, the portions are pretty large. It's a large portion of marinated beef cheeks (which I will be honest, I was very nervous about). The marinated beef cheeks was super flavorful (without any gaminess) and slightly shredded with " fall apart tenderness". It comes with one half of toasted bone marrow, some radish slices, cilantro, onions, habanero sauce, and 3 to 4 homemade corn tortillas. Yes, I could totally tell that the corn tortillas were homemade and soft. You use a small smear of bone marrow to give the taco an extra bonus umami flavor. Because I cannot tolerate habanero sauce, which Antonio said was very spicy, Antonio was kind enough to bring out two types of sauces that were minimally spicy for me. Honestly, the marination of the beef was so good that you actually don't even need any sauce. But I tried both sauces that Antonio brought me and they were both tasty with my taco also. You can also buy some extra homemade corn tortillas if you have any beef left over after finishing the tortillas that come with the entrée. Beni's seafood fried rice with solidly good with large chunks of seafood. Although the seafood fried rice was really good, the bone marrow beef tacos were absolutely incredible. My friend chose the spicy tuna roll (cut rolls). Normally, I would totally recommend against getting anything with spicy tuna at a restaurant. As most foodies know, a lot of restaurants hide old tuna with Sriracha sauce. So I was pleasantly surprised when her spicy tuna rolls were one of the best tuna California rolls that I've ever had!! It was like a California roll with pieces of tuna in the middle along with minced tuna sashimi spread over the top. The tuna was surprisingly fresh and creamy. Needless to say, I will need to come back with more family members. I cannot wait to try all of the other dishes on this menu. By the way, there are a ridiculous number of items to choose from on this menu. Don't forget to flip the menu over. There is something for everyone on this menu. And yes, they serve alcohol even though I don't really like alcohol myself. I'm pretty sure that I also read that there is a mimosa flight of 4 flavors if you love champagne. There is an inside air-conditioned portion of Krudo's sushi and modern kitchen. There's also an outdoor seating area. I was fortunate enough to have Antonio as my waiter.

Upon entry I was met with a friendly greeting so I like that. However, table service from the start was slow. Perhaps they need to staff better to fix this issue. Once the order was placed, it did take quite awhile for the food to come out. Expect to finish your drinks before the food arrives. Not sure the delay with this and perhaps another staffing issue. I ordered a regular coffee and to my suprise no refills on this. This was a bit disappointing. Typically establishments offer refills, but not here. Couple this with a long food wait, and the experience begins to disappoint. The food arrived and it was good, but not memorable. With the rising costs of eating out, the expectation is greater. Both experience and food need to be there and not one or the other. It doesn't have to be great, but both should be at the minimum good. For me, I would return but I am not in a rush to.
