So here we came hungry and were reassured by a woman hanging out, outside the restaurant saying "I felt like I was dining on a cruise in Mexico" as she had sat by the window while eating. Now we're pretty hyped up. I assume they take reservations because we wanted a table and saw empty ones but we were told it would be an hour wait. Fair enough, Saturday night after all. We sat at the counter, but it was almost 10 min. before anyone came by. One waitress did say they were understaffed that night, but this was a passerby waitress not anyone behind the counter and there were only 3 other people sitting at the counter. For appetizer I had the short rib empanada. It was ok, 3 crispy empanada bites. I got the beef enchilada which was recommended also by the bartender also. It was pretty good, but I've had better. So the food was solid, service got better as our stay went on but it took a bit out of me as we got started. 3 and 1/2 for me, just as the overall reviews suggests.

The restaurant has a separate bar area from their main dining area. The music was upbeat and lively keeping the atmosphere active. We were seated immediately and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our server was so sweet as she explained most of the menu items and gave her recommendations. The decor of the restaurant was chic and modern and the music was lively and upbeat. We snacked on some tortilla chips and salsa until our main course arrived. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and my friend ordered the chicken enchiladas. Both of our dishes were delicious. However, my friend and I agreed we enjoyed my quesadillas better. The prices just like most of the restaurants in this hotel were pricey but you have to eat. :-) I would check this place out again.

Jack was both the bartender and server, and was constantly on the move. Even with the pressure of handling a few tables and people at the bar, he was kind, friendly, helpful, and efficient. The establishment has a cool, dark mood and feel that's both quiet and calming. Our gin and vodka drinks were strong and delicious. The chips for the guacamole were hot and the tacos (pollo asado, carne molida, camaron, Al Pastor, and carnitas) were all unique and flavorful. That meal satisfied us both in ways we never expected. Turns out this was our best dining experience overall during our five days in AC -- thanks to Jack and the kitchen crew. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The place was located on a deserted side street about a block and a half inland from the boardwalk. As we approached, we heard a bustling crowd in their outdoor space; the place seemed packed. We walked passed the garden and headed inside through the main entrance to find their casual bar and dining area. There were only a few local patrons, and it was definitely quiet. However, outside, there was a large fundraising event taking up a good deal of seats, but the Beer Hall was also allowing random folks like us to join the vibe. We were thrilled about this, since there was a live cover band in the yard, while the indoor atmosphere was much more subdued. The outdoor space included a small bar with stools, loads of picnic tables, a few couches, a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack and rocking chairs, and even a cornhole set. We grabbed some cozy chairs around the unlit fire pit and started to review the menu. We were not hungry, so we skipped the cuisine, but the catering food available to the event attendees looked and smelled delicious. While the place was known for their massive beer selection, we decided to indulge in a pitcher of Perfect Tenn Margaritas. The pitcher was a phenomenal deal at $45, when it was already $15 for a glass. Plus, we were able to get over 6 glasses from it. The outdoor bar was rows deep, so one of the staff members recommended that I order from the indoor bar instead, since it was not at all crowded. The bartender was a complete sweetheart and coordinated with another nice employee to help me carry the pitcher and cups outside to avoid any spills. The margarita had sounded great with its composition of Patron Silver Tequila, Patrón Citrónge Orange, and Triple Sec. However, while I had noticed those intricate details, I somehow glossed over the fact that the drink was premade and available on tap. I would not normally mind this, but it did make me question if it was actually using those higher-end ingredients. The bartender also alternated pours of the tapped cocktail and a bottle of lime juice, which led to the drink being beyond acidic and sweet. I had about a glass and half and left the rest of the pitcher for my drinking partner. I adored the fun outdoor garden, welcoming staff, and diversified menu, but the margarita was just way too tart for my liking.

I had a dinner that was on the top of the third page of the menu, called the Grand Fiesta Combo which include Rice, Beans, Taco, Tostada, Chicken Sope, and an Enchilada. Too much for me to eat. Wife got Burrito with the Rice and beans. Would bring my own Salsa next time because theirs was a little tame for me, however nice dinner and close to home.

The food here is excellent! It took awhile to get waters, but our dude got around to it eventually. The salad was cool and fresh but the olive oil and lemon dressing was pure oil. No worries, I used the ranch from the wings and all was good. I liked the shaved Parmesan and the fact that someone took the time to slice the tiny grape tomatoes, precious. Wings were crunchy and spicy in all the right places. The Squire Burger had huge pieces of maple bacon sticking out from two patties cheese and iceberg. The fries were perfect. The bun was fluffy and glistening on top. Beautiful. We were surprised at the small bill, but left very satisfied. Highly recommend!
