    Chips with two different salsa's
    Nancy S.

    We checked into the Best Western next door for the evening and didn't feel like driving any where. The front desk recommended this restaurant if we liked seafood which we do. We ordered the shrimp fajitas and they did not disappoint!! We were sharing the fajitas and there had to be over a dozen fairly large shrimp and plenty of veggies. They came with a side of beans and rice. Also, they brought chips and salsa and we loved both salsas and the chips were very good too!

    Comp chips and salsa!

    I read all the good reviews about the Fajitas and decided to try them out. My oh my! They were delish. The vegetables mixed were full of flavor. I paired it with some corn tortillas that were nice, thick and moist. The employees are very nice and the place had a nice vibe. Low volume pleasant Mexican music was playing. Service was quick and the portion was big. I'm a big eater and the fajitas filled me up. The shrimp fajitas are $26.00 but well worth it and probably enough for two people to share. They provide complimentary chips and salsa too! The ice tea must be freshly brewed because it tasted really good. I will definitely return to this place.

    There is about 5 shrimp in their cocktail $24

    The place was empty went on a Friday afternoon @4 they have a sign outside that says happy hour 1pm-5pm but the menu says it's until 4pm the waitress was nice enough to still give the happy hour price , we got 2 ultras on the happy hour menu.... We ordered 1/2 oysters to start .... They weren't detached so heads up as an entrée we ordered garlic shrimp with rice ( it's 4 pieces of shrimp) with hard white rice , and shrimp cocktail , I have never seen a clear cocktail It was very tasteless I added Tapatío & ketchup and still it tasted like cold shrimp in water . Won't be coming back again specially for the price of the food if it was good and tasty I'd say it's worth it but $25 for a tasteless clear cup of water with shrimp I don't think I'll be back , I'll just go back to Libra por Libra better service and food tastes like it's supposed to .... No where near the gouging prices in an empty restaurant I see why now

    Michelada
    Jenny N.

    The restaurant shares the parking lot with the motel. As soon as you enter the restaurant there's a tank with a few live lobsters. I feel so bad for them as they all have rubber bands around their claws. One of them was trying to take it off, but it was unsuccessful. There are two dinning areas, to the left you can enjoy karaoke on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays while you dine. There's also a bar attach to the left side. To the right, there are a lot of booths and countertops dinning. We ordered beef cocido, pork verde, guacamole, michelada, and jamaica. Overall, the food was just okay. Beef cocido didn't have the traditional broth flavor; instead all I tasted was the salt. It was very difficult to eat the vegetables (carrots, zucchini, and corn) as they are cut not into pieces but a long strip. Pork verde, the green salsa was more like from a can. When the waitress brought out the guacamole she also brought the salt shaker, which I thought was strange. When I tasted the guacamole it was bland. Then I know the reason for the salt shaker. Jamaica drink was from a powder mix. I thought it was cool that the michelada came with a shrimp. Service was exceptional. Our waitress was attentive.

    Red Snapper
    Big D.

    When I visit Ontario, this is always a stop that I must make for some good food and good cocktails. This is definitely a hidden gym that you must try on this occasion I chose to partake Kenzie fried whole red snapper a long with a watermelon Mojito red snapper was fresh and seasoned to perfection. The Mojito was perfect and tasty. In my opinion. The service is always great and the ambience is always cozy and inviting. Definitely a must try if you ever stop or live in Ontario.

    Octopus taco. Yum
    Loren R.

    I was here for karaoke night . The place is dark. The Dj that plays the tracks is great and knows how to entertain. The drinks where good. they have happy hour after 9:00 pm. The waitresses were good and helpful.

    We ate here twice this week while in the area staying at a nearby hotel. The food was delicious both times. And our waitress, Marianna was FANTASTIC. We would highly recommend this spot. The atmosphere was great, and the prices very fair. We'll certainly be back next time we're in the area.

    We stopped by on a Sunday evening to check out this speakeasy and were surprised to find they had a…read morelive DJ that night for their CREAM Sundays event. They even offer a special cocktail menu just for these evenings. None of the featured drinks seemed appealing to us, so I ordered a Lemon Drop while my husband went with an Old Fashioned. The space is intimate, cozy, and beautifully decorated with a New Mexico inspired vibe that gives it a unique touch. The bartender was super nice, and the music was great all night. It was definitely more of a lively atmosphere, so conversation was a bit difficult at times due to the volume, but we still had a wonderful time enjoying the drinks and music. Overall, it was a fun experience, and we're glad we stopped by. We'd love to come back on a non Sunday evening to experience the speakeasy in a different setting.

    From the reviews I had really high expectation for this place. Its in the corner by Native Sons…read more You sign in at the podium. 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. They have some heat to them!! This is like an Arizona or Mew Mexo themed type speakeasy. I love their decor. With the fireplace and the animal skulls and animal skins everywhere. 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.
