He suggested a cold chocolate drink - the premium. We got one with no sugar, and our friend got one that was sweetened. We really enjoyed the one with no sugar, but then of course after we tried our friend's and then went back to ours, it didn't taste so good anymore hahaha. The atmosphere was nice with it's little decorations, but we went at a time when it was very empty except for one guy who was a super regular. We weren't aware that the place sold actual meal foods, but I see from other reviews that apparently they do. The drink menu was quite overwhelming. I'd like to try this place again sometime but ask for more recommendations.

I ordered "La Burger" and it was amazing, just like how i asked for. They had this drink I believe it was called "La Jamaica" and it tasted great. The servers were nice and they didn't take too long to make our food. The place looked really nice too. My only problem was how expensive the burgers are. One burger was 325 Mexican pesos (Roughly $19 USD). Other than that, I loved my experience at La Justina and I'll make sure to come again.

My sister enjoyed it so much she asked to go back again…read more Enjoyed their complementary, individual paper bag of chips and salsas Tacos - we tried to gobernador (the best taco), ensenada (really enjoyed the texture and the Mexican oregano marinade), and the Adobada - all good. Tortas were decent, bread and style reminded me a little bit of Subway Sister never tried green posole - good vegan equivalent, but in general not my favorite soup. But really good and perfect for a cold night Service was quick, accommodating, and they definitely aim to please.

Our server who was also the Manager of the restaurant was sincere, genuine, & provided us with the most incredible service. Forgive me as i am not 100% certain his name was Alfredo (or Alberto; lo siento). The double cheeseburger was good, not exceptional. The texture & flavor; delicious. I'm not certain that with all the cheese, the type of bun used, & the "meat" combine well. Conclusion is that the entire experience of trying to eat it as if it was a "cheeseburger" didn't really happen well. Again, it was still good. It just became a fork & knife meal. The Italian sub be mindful is served hot. We did not know that (prolly our fault for not reading it). Nevertheless I can assure you it would not have stopped me from ordering it! IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! It literally brought me back to a most incredible Italian sub that I used to order. O.M.G. It really was done right. The Cesar salad! Yes. Second best Cesar salad I've ever had. The dressing was incredible. I did forget to mention it was actually a "chicken" Cesar salad & the chicken was done exceptionally well! Side note: last time we were there we had sweet potato & regular fries, a cheese pizza, the chicken cheeseburger, & something else I can't remember at this time. We have almost tried the entire menu. One more trip over there & we will make it happen. Also, the cocktails are so tasty delicious. A significant amount of classic Mexican cocktails for your drinking pleasure. Oh yea, the kombucha too (& that's coming from someone who only liked Big Mountain Kombucha; until now). Thanks Team Gardeno. See you soon.

The food here is so, so good. I love how different the menu is and there are so many great things to choose from, we almost always end up ordering several plates to share so we can eat a little bit of it all! I will say that my favorite dish is definitely the Res Braseada. The meat is always cooked perfectly and just melts in your mouth. But the tacos are all good, the birria sandwich is bomb (and the fries that come with it, too), and the elotes.... get the elotes! They've got a great selection of beers and their wine is good, too. The different levels lend themselves well to whatever kind of vibe you're feeling, but no worries, the service is bomb no matter where you decide to plant yourself. Definitely recommend this spot to everyone and am looking forward to my next visit already!

If you want to eat in the restaurant, don't go all the way to the top (that's a bar area I think). We were greeted quickly and brought water, which was refreshing with the rosemary. I ordered a Mezcal cocktail that I forget the name of. It was oddly kind of thick, but still good. We started with the cauliflower ceviche, which was light and refreshing. It had great citrus flavor with a hint of spice. My husband ordered the birria grilled cheese, which was huge. He really enjoyed it. I got the seared yellowtail. The fish was cooked nicely, and the accompanying veggies were really good as well. Overall the service was friendly and food was good. We would go back. Maybe a little pricier than some of the other restaurants around, but still reasonable and worth the stop. They have an interesting variety of menu items.
