I'll preface this with the fact that I'm not a fan of tex-mex, strip mall style joints. That said,…read moreLa Tapatia was a great experience. The atmosphere was trying to be trendy with the neon signs, rustic-chic, exposed duct aesthetic. The server was amazing. Incredibly friendly and helpful with questions that our group had. The food was also way better than I feared it might be. I appreciated the build-your-own option for a lot of the dishes. I got a large salad with grilled shrimp and it was pretty good. The shrimp was flavorful and the salad bright. I used some of the cilantro salsa that came with the chips as dressing and it was great. It happened to be my birthday and they brought out some churros as a treat, which was really nice. The churros, however, were pretty bad. Super dense and chewy. The service definitely added an extra star and that waiter (I didn't get her name) should get some recognition. I would put this in the "group pleasing", "work happy hour" bucket of restaurants. I would never suggest but definitely wouldn't be upset if the group chose here.

So 2:00pm it was. It was busy and only a few tables were open. Fun drunk menu and lots of local and Mexican beer options. Shared chips and salsa and Guac and both of us got two tacos and dessert and a drink. $40 a piece which wasn't bad. Would definitely go back.

It's perfect for any occasion -- date night, celebrations, or a casual brunch meet-up. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. I ordered my usual drink of choice and went with the fajitas this time. They were seasoned to perfection -- flavorful, fresh, and served hot. You can tell the kitchen pays attention to detail. Mito continues to be a solid choice for me. I'll definitely be back.

My review is for the brunch!…read more I went at 11am on a Sunday. It was DEAD. I'm talking 1 other table for 2 hours dead. That set a pretty weird vibe for the meal haha. However the staff was sooo friendly and attentive, and the space is SO COOL. I caught myself just looking around most of the time haha. I'm sure the vibes are immaculate at night as a night club. The food was OK at best, maybe even lower than ok. I wouldn't recommend the brunch foods. The mimosas were fun and tasty - $25 for a bottle. Overall I look forward to coming back at night for a drink and to dance! I'll skip the food and the weird morning vibes haha.

El Parian has some of the best Mexican food I have ever had!! This is a local gem in Little Canada…read morethat everyone should give a try. The service is great, the food and drinks came out very quick, and of course I can't forget about the free chips and salsa which is always a plus and so good!! There was a lot to choose from the menu. We started with a large corona margarita. For food, we got the Burrito Parian and Enchiladas Guadalajara which were both amazing! I highly recommend the Enchiladas Guadalajara. Overall El Parian was a great experience and I left very satisfied. I do wish they had a little bit better of an ambiance as personally I am not a fan of the LED lighting and it could improve the overall experience aesthetically. Either way, I can't wait to come back again and try more items form menu!

There were no complimentary chips, but you get endless refills if you buy chips and guac or chips and queso. They also have a salsa bar with several options that were great. I got the burrito loco and my husband got the mole enchilada. Both had large portions that were good for the prices, and they were super flavorful! Would definitely return here.

I really love a self-order restuarant, our food came out within 10 minutes and drinks were quick as well. They have great seating options inside or out - perfect for a solo date too! The elote corn really threw me through a loop because it was SO wet. Almost everyone ordered it, and left us a bit dissapointed with how wet it was. Wouldnt order again. The fish taco was really good! I do wish they still had the nopales tacos :( Cherry marg was amazing, and im usually not a big fan of margaritas! Perfectly tart without being too sweet. Nachos were HUGE and layered really well - definitely needed for the entire table! When one of our drinks were forgotten, they gave us an extra to make up for it... which we really appreciated after the wait! Love u centro & especially your parking in the back!

SPACE There are a surprising amount of tables in this bright and colorful restaurant! It may seem small from the outside, but there's probably 10 tables for in-store dining. I love the painted murals of El Salvador and decor! SERVICE You can do counter service for takeout, or they have full service for dining in. Our server was wonderful and helped with recs. DRINKS You can get margaritas, beer, and other drinks here, but our minds were set on aguas frescas. Their tamarindo and jamaica were AMAZING! Must try.

I have been coming to el sombrero for years and I loved it but recently I was told they had a…read morehealth inspector come in and they were told they can no longer make Chile rellenos. I'm really not sure that's what they said, rather I'm sure it had to do with contamination of the eggs which isn't good, but I don't believe they said they couldn't make them anymore. Well they still have it on the menu and don't tell you it has changed when you order it. They literally put the Chile in the fryer by itself. They don't stuff it and only put a tiny bit of sauce and cheese on top. Chile relleno literally translates to stuffed Chile which it is not stuffed, so they should take it off their menu if they aren't going to serve it correctly anymore. When I asked the manager about it he seemed annoyed that I wasn't happy. To be honest the rest of their food isn't wonderful or worth coming as much as we did for the Chile rellenos. I won't be back unless I find out that they have started making them correctly again.
