    I know this place recently opened and decided to give it a try, and I was honestly impressed! Place was busy on a Saturday night, decor was outstanding, lounge vibe very LA style but located in Ontario, plenty of parking too, service was outstanding Shafik took excellent care of us, the Manager George was very welcoming made our visit very pleasant. The owner as well came to say hi and checked on us! Food was outstanding and delicious and very very impressive presentation "see pictures". Entertainment is provided as well so it's a fun place! Was very happy with my visit and will definitely be back, I wish TKLA all the best and success!

    I work nearby and had seen a Instagram post so decided to check it out. I went on a Thursday and it had a great atmosphere going. Karaoke was the entertainment and the woman running the karaoke was really good. I didn't eat but I did have great drinks and service from Daniel and Stephanie. I started with a beer but then saw the drinks being made and switched it up. I took a few pictures and sent to some friends to come check it out. This place looks good for a nice night out or even corporate dinners that give a lively good time.

    Wow. This was a huge swing and a miss. We looked forward to this meal based on the reviews. We were very disappointed. I don't typically leave 1 star reviews, but this meal was beyond awful. See photos. Also, this was opening weekend. We ordered Costal de Azul shrimp appetizer (bacon wrapped shrimp).. bacon was raw inside and the shrimp were cold. Had to send them back. Shrimp and steak fajitas were the saddest we ever ordered. The steak was tiny pieces of charred and leathery meat, the shrimp were small, luke warm and were boiled .. not grilled. The veggies were still raw. Skillet was barely warmed thru. Shrimp a la Diabla.. spicy shrimp.. over white rice. Thr shrimp were sad, tossed in a spicy sauce, very tiny and tasted frozen. 5/10 at best. All dishes come with charro beans (whole pinto with bacon bits). No refried bean option and tasted reheated. Corn and flour tortillas were straight from the package, not heated at all. Most of our food was cold or luke warm. Extensive cocktail menu. We tried their Mango Margarita. Asked for it blended. FYI they said they don't have a blender to blend drinks. On the rocks only. Sadly, kids chicken tenders were the best item we ordered. Prices are extremely high for low quality food. The ontario area and surrounding areas have some of the best hole in the wall mexican restaurants. I would highly recommend trying a different place if you want even decent mexican food.

    Walking in we were very excited based on the decor and ambiance but it ended there. We ordered Micheladas, aquachiles verde and the chimichurri steak and cheese fajitas dish. While the aquachiles was good the Michelada was just tomato juice with beer, nothing added to it and the chimichurri steak was so salty it was hard to eat. It looked more like a sauce than a chimichurri. And the fajitas don't come with tortillas, I've never experienced that.

    The restaurant kept popping up on my feed so I was really excited to try it. Overall it was okay. They had so many servers but they didn't check on us enough. We had to stop waiters to ask for more drinks or condiments. The staff were friendly. The restaurant itself is very lovely. As for the food it was decent but nothing we had was great. My overall review, do I feel like I would come back? No.

    Went on Friday, May 8th as an early Mother's Day dinner. We were first sat down in what I would call the main area. It was very dark and the music was way too loud. Loud enough where I don't think we would have been able to talk. We moved into the area closest to the door. This area was a little better, but we could still hear the music, but we were able to talk. The waitress had a hard time hearing us, not sure if her hearing was affected by being in the other area. The restaurant was very HOT! I'm not sure if the A/C wasn't working our what, but by the end of dinner I was very sweaty. The food was decent but descriptions were not accurate. I ordered the Chimichurri bites fajitas. The description was steak bites. It was not steak, it was a very fatty pot roast beef, but it was good. My daughter's chicken breast was very bland. My wife enjoyed her Swiss enchiladas and my son liked his Mar y Tierra fajitas. The staff was very friendly. The waitress we had was nice but slow. Drinks seemed to take a long time to come out. I would definitely go back, but maybe not for a special occasion and much earlier in the day in the hopes that the music isn't so loud.

    Margarita Flight -

    Seven of us commuted from Riverside County to TKLA to celebrate our friends's birthday. The birthday girl chose this particular restaurant for the "vibes." Ambiance - when I walked into the restaurant I was immediately impressed. My understanding is that it's only been open for a few weeks. It's a beautiful place with an energetic vibe, perfect for a birthday celebration as they bring out the birthday sign with music and it is a blast! They have a DJ booth in the second dining area and we were told they would play music. Sadly, that was a lie they decided to put a fight on the big screen television, which was in Spanish. No problem, this is a Spanish restaurant. It would've been great to have music because the TKLA gives off a party vibe... and, you do have a DJ booth in the dining room at 8 PM on a Saturday night - DUH . Service- They fell short on the service. Our server had only been there for two days and she knew nothing about the menu or the drinks. Any restaurant with a liquor license knows that liquor is their money maker so not knowing about cocktails could get you in trouble. Not circling back with your guests to inquire as to whether they want another cocktail is also setting yourself up for a loss of MAJOR revenue We had to go to the bar to order our drinks in order to obtain more detail and ensure that we got what we wanted. There were three bartenders, but the service was extremely slow there as well. It felt like what took over 20 minutes to order a drink, and there were only five people at the bar. I will say that the drinks were fantastic! I ordered the Margarita flight which was made by one of the co-owners who is a bottle of energy. Food - food is another area where they lacked. We came for a 6:00 PM reservation. We ordered the guacamole which came with Chicharrones. They had already run out...fail! I ordered a surf & turf wet burrito, which was supposed to come with guacamole on the inside. Unfortunately, I got a cold burrito. That was mainly canned black beans, super tough beef, and absolutely no guacamole. When the server finally returned 20 minutes later to the table, I explained there was no guacamole inside the burrito and opened it up to show her. She came back 10 minutes later with a small saucer of guacamole. Why not just offered to make it over? My friend ordered a ranchero plate that came with rice which came cold. Another friend ordered the steak medium well it came served well. To me, the food was just an epic fail! I would definitely not go back for the food.

    Had a reservation, they said they couldn't accommodate even though it was made the previous day.

    Natalie was amazing ! Great service and great food !

    Our waitress Natalie was amazingggg! Great service and great food. Definitely would come back.

    My food came out after everyone at our table was already done eating and heading to karaoke on Mother's Day, which honestly left a bad taste in my mouth. The waitress offered me chicken wings for the inconvenience, then still added them to the bill. My daughter's pizza was burned, we told her we didn't want it, and it was still charged too. We also had a party of about 15 people and only got one tiny serving of chips and salsa for the whole table until we asked for more, plus we were missing utensils. As a former waitress myself, I understand busy nights, but the service definitely needs improvement, especially for the amount of money we spent. That being said, the restaurant itself is beautiful, the karaoke was fun, and the drinks were really good. I'd still recommend the place for the atmosphere, just make sure to double-check your itemized bill.

    Sushi was so great! Thanks to Natalie for a great recommendation & great service!

    First time here, this place is so nice & had Karaoke. Sushi was so good ! Thanks to Natalie for the recommendation & great service!

    Went the first time last week for the Mexico game and it was amazing. Decided to try it out again yesterday for the game and i don't even know where to start. First, our reservation was at 5:30 and was sat by 5:45. The hostess sat us right in front of the big screen. They expected to sit right on the booth with our back to the screen. No chairs on the other side so we can at least sit there and watch the game. We had to ask for 2 chairs and they just gave us 1 at first about 15 minutes later they brought another chair. The first thing we ordered was guacamole and a candy shot flight, 30 minutes had passed and nothing. Meanwhile the table next to us had their food and drinks when we literally ordered around the same time. & there was more people in their table, when for my table it was just 2 of us. We had to remind the waitress of the guacamole and drinks we ordered. We also ordered a molcajete and asked for flour tortillas, when the food arrived it came with corn tortillas. Politely asked if we can get flour tortillas, she shortly came by with "flour tortillas" just for them to be corn again. At that point I did NOT ask her again for flour tortillas because it was gonna be the same thing. Ordered another drink, took at least 25 mins to arrive and then ordered desert and it also arrived at least 30 minutes later after we reminded her about it. Overall service sucked, food and drinks are mid. I don't recommend to anyone.

I believe our waitress name was Jude, but nonetheless, she definitely was a jewel. She informed us that they were short staff, but she would take our orders. She accommodated every single one of us, never messing up or mixing up the orders, when ask for extras, she got them out immediately and to add to all of this the food was excellent. If you ever get a chance to stop by Studio Four29 I highly recommend it, not just for the food, but also the service. Bravo to our waitress she was on point.

They dont allow any food to be brought in which is crazy because you are in a food hall. So plan accordingly. They do serve unlimited amounts of their popcorn which tasted pretty good.

I just love how it looked. Theres an exit to the outside patio area which is nice, since this place stays open longer than most of the shops in Haven City. Only problem is if theyre playing music outside, every time the door opens it is so loud!! Like annoyingly blow my ear drums loud. Their drinks are very southwest themed. They have a lot of drink options to choose from. We ordered their blue sky and silver cloud. Presentation looked pretty. But the drinks were not that great. I had their silver cloud which had a mango foam on top. Tasted great, till you mixed it into the drink. The drink was way to smokey. It was so smokey it was almost bitter. I get a little smoke. But it was way too much. Any notes of mango or fruit or sweetness was lost in the smoke. The blue sky looked pretty. But after having a sip of the silver cloud it killed my taste buds. I couldn't taste anything in the blue sky. After our first round of drinks we were done. Had to go home and make myself an extremely sweet drink to get my taste buds back..... its a great concept. The price point is reasonable. 16 dollars for each drink. I do love the decor. But the vibes from the outside is distracting. If your into mezcals and smokey drinks this place is for you. But it unfortunately was not my cup of tea.
