I was the only one there and the staff wasn't very friendly, she wasn't rude but not engaging. The scone tasted old and i would not recommend. The protein yogurt bowl was delicious but so pricey IMO.

I ordered take out from this restaurant and ordered the Pollo Con Papas. The portion was great and each bite was filled with so much flavor. My dish was ready at the estimated time and I was able to get in and out with no issue. Service was great at pick up! I walked into the restaurant and were greeted by the staff who were super friendly. The ambiance did give off a Havana setting and I wish I had taken the time to sit down to eat to get the full experience.

Please please do away with the consistently egregiously sh** music. For the love of all that is…read moreholy, Stop! Food is delightful. Beautifully presented and always wonderful. Service is great and we love this place. We would be here a lot more as we live less than1m away, if it were not for the god awful 'country music'. Please just shut it off. Your chef clearly has attention to detail and is a prodigy. We loved the tortillas and butter you previously served, but the freshly fried tortilla chips, fresh homemade salsa and sauces were delightful and a much appreciated prelude to our lovely meal. We love the speakeasy. The bartender is absolutely wonderful. Best cocktails I've ever had. I would argue he is the best in the county. Frankly I love to just request 'dealers choice' and he makes the most amazing drinks I've ever had. Fun way to spend a weekend evening. Can I please just say one more time, get rid of this horrific noise. We love the DJ in the speakeasy! So cool, and great music in there. Even if we are not completely vibing with it, it's curated and inoffensive. Can I say, what a joy to have Beso in our neighborhood. We love this place (just NOT this 'music'). We come in for breakfast/brunch or dinner and the music is so annoying/uncomfortable/noxious, that we leave before ordering desert, etc. would hang out longer, would be in more frequently if not for that one big adversity. It takes a month or more to extinct the unpleasantness of the 'music' , we come in and there it is, all over again and we are reminded of why we don't visit more. Please fix this!!

If I'm being honest - Would not recommend, and will not go back again. It's not anything special…read moreand most of the food has no flavor at all. Service is really meh, had to ask for more water a couple times, and asked for a straw various times from different people and never ended up getting one from anyone. We ordered the jalapeño poppers, steak bites and the shrimp which were all very bland. When we asked the server what kind of cut the steak was, he said it was "just steak" and looked annoyed (or utterly confused, who could really tell). We ordered one of the cocktails and it was fine but also had no flavor. We ordered a few pizzas as our entrees and they were similarly very bland, and tasted like cheap take-out pizza. Again, would not recommend this restaurant to my friends or family.

The chile verde with pork or pork ribs is sour and if the guy serving you dont like you, you will get enough meat for one little corn taco and be stuck with beans n rice. The carnitas are nasty. Seriously. Try the carnitas without salsa. Because i did and the meat was rotten. They store the meat from the day before and they dont know which is from which day so you can get carnitas from monday and its sunday. The carne asada is hard rock/pebbles bullshyt. The pupusas are mediocre. But im used to handmade on the spot so im spoiled. The chicken, tortillas and salsa roja is the only thing thats good. The agua frescas are good too the water melon tastes weird sometimes and if u get strawberry they give you pulp and theres only 30% juice bullshyt. But it tastes good. Ask for no pulp. How do you mess up so many things when you have a bakery a carneceria and a grocery store?
