    Aguachiles & Chicken Tacos

    If you are looking for fire ass seafood or Jalisco style food, don't look no further. They are the sweetest people and their food is just top tier. Ordered two plates of aguachiles and chicken tacos. Never had something this good besides back home. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Decided to pick a random spot I haven't tried. Great service. Wide variety of options. I ordered the augachile. I'll love some really spicy augachile but it was mild, But very good. Nice small, quiet restaurant. Only thing they can possibly improve on, is the Jamaica. I love some good Jamaica, but this one didn't hit. It's ok though. I would definitely return!!!!

    Pozole Verde

    This place is amazing, family just discovered them and they didn't disappoint! Everyone is so kind and the food is perfection. Definitely will be a regular spot

    So glad to see this place busy. Hard working people creating some amazing dishes. Employees always go above and beyond. Great family atmosphere.

    I would drive hours just to eat this grilled fish special!!! It was perfection. Smoky, crispy edges, with a soft buttery bite. This place continues to give the warmest service and consistently amazing food. You can taste the love in each bite. Better go while they still have this special on the menu!

    Best Bean and Cheese Burrito

    Hands down best Mexican food we've had in a long time! We loved it. Hubby said the Pazole was best he's had. I had some and have to agree. Even the simple B&C burrito was amazing. Great Agua Frescas, watermelon and also Hibiscus!!! Wish we lived near here...

    I have eaten here twice. Once inside with my father, we had mango aguachile and fish ceviche. The owners were very kind to us, my dad made small talk about their business and how long they have been here. Inside was very clean, I love their decor they have inside. Last Saturday, I ordered through DoorDash, food was amazing just like the first time. My boyfriend picked up the food and said the woman in the front was very kind and had the food ready with in 15mins. I will be coming back.

    Absolutely amazing service, environment, food, employees.... Haven't had such a pleasant experience in a while! They were so genuine, food was fresh and delicious... service was phenomenal. Would recommend a thousand times. They also verbally expressed their appreciation for us going there and I loved that.

    Fish Tacos!

    We've been here 3 times and it never disappoints. The food is always cooked and prepared to order. I recommend the shrimp ceviche and the seafood tower. On my last visit I went with the Hawaiian Ribeye and loaded baked potatoe. It came out nice and hot and perfectly cooked. The taste was amazing and very juicy. My wife enjoyed the fish tacos. Definitely a nice quiet environment with amazing food and service. The owner always comes out to greet us. Definitely recommend!

    We visited this hidden gem in the neighborhood today after our friends invited us for lunch. Parking was easy, with plenty of spaces available behind the restaurant. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a sweet couple--who we later learned were the owners. The woman kindly seated us and took our drink orders. I went with the Sandía (watermelon) agua fresca, which was perfectly prepared and just the right amount of sweet. For our meals, my wife ordered the chilaquiles with steak and eggs, while I had the enchiladas rojas with chicken. The food arrived hot, fresh, and in a timely manner. Every bite was bursting with authentic flavors, clearly crafted with patience and love. The establishment was also very clean. Villalobos Kitchen has definitely earned our business--we'll be back! We highly recommend this restaurant.

    Me and my boyfriend had to come back! We drove about 50 minutes to come and eat at Villalobos kitchen because it's soooooo delicious! Service is always 100/10! Thank you to Ubaldo and his wife for the recommendations we will be back again soon :D

It felt like a place for locals to enjoy a great steak without breaking the bank on drinks. Where we can sit and chat for hours over a few bottles of wine. It felt like a place to take our families and friends for any occasion. The new corkage fee started from 0 and jumped to 50 bucks after the first bottle. That is a huge jump that I know many regulars are not a fan of. This place no longer feels worth it. It suddenly feels like any other steakhouse trying to attract "high end" clientele. No longer has the feel as a place where regular people can enjoy a steak. We've been customers for over a decade. And it had its rough times. It wasn't always as popular as it is today. But we stuck with them because mainly for the no corkage fee as dumb as that sounds. We were loyal and it paid off. They got through rough times and the food quality got so much better today. Our loyalty was lost with the corkage fee change. When asked for a suggestion, I would recommended to buy a good steak and cook it at home these days. Such a shame.

There was a small mix-up with our reservation at first (we had requested a window view), but the team fixed it immediately. The managers stepped in right away, introduced themselves, and made sure everything was taken care of. That alone set the tone for the rest of the night. We ended up getting the perfect window table, and the view was incredible... overlooking the water and the Queen Mary. We arrived in the early evening after sunset, so there was still a bit of light out before everything transitioned into night, which made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself is beautiful, clean, and not overly crowded, which made it feel even more relaxed and enjoyable. The food was just as impressive. The clam chowder was piping hot and, according to my mom, the best she's ever had. I ordered the 30-day aged ribeye, and it was easily one of the best ribeyes I've had... perfectly cooked rare with a great smoky flavor that wasn't overpowering. The crab cakes had real chunks of crab (not filler), and the lobster mac and cheese was rich and perfectly done. Everything came out exactly as it should. What really stood out to me was the service across the entire restaurant... not just our table. From the moment we walked in, the staff on every level were warm, welcoming, and attentive. Even team members who weren't directly assigned to us would stop by to check in or make sure we were taken care of. That level of consistency is rare and made the whole experience feel elevated. Special thank you to Gregory (manager), Alex (our server), and one of the female managers (whose name I unfortunately forgot) for going above and beyond. On top of everything, they made a few thoughtful gestures that made the experience feel even more special, which we really appreciated. We'll absolutely be back. This place really checks all the boxes... view, food, service, and overall experience.

Tell me to meet you somewhere and I'll be there. Simple as that and less stress for me. Anyways, that's how we ended up at this place. Trying to find happy hour with food in the area was somewhat a challenge. Either they were finishing up or it wasn't that interesting on the menu. Of course some places offered amazing drink deals but no food. We ended up here actually across the street still looking up for places but the rooftop patio was what caught our attention. The restaurant itself looked bare as there was no one inside. Still on the early side but noticing people going in and then heading up stairs. After a few debates on here and there, we gave up and found our way here. Checked in with the host, letting him know that we just wanted happy hour upstairs. It was about two flights of stairs which the place looked quite industrial with all the metal beams and stairs. Downstairs was beautiful but completely emptied. Everyone wanted to utilize the rooftop patio as it was beautiful out. We were greeted by someone which mentioned to us that any bar seating was available. There was a section towards the back that was pretty lively. I think it was booked for a group. Instead of the bar area, we asked to sit along the rooftop counter that looks out to the street and building across the street. Way better view and perfect way to spend the afternoon hours. Staff were all pretty sweet and very friendly. Whatever we needed they were they to help. Both the regular menu and happy hour menu were quite impressive. As we just wanted HH, it was given. They had drink special for 10.00 and small bites for 10.00 as well. Didn't hesitate and started off with some drinks. The red sangria with mixed fruits was a nice clean and refreshing treat. Tasteful without that aftertaste. And the Le Pistolet Fumant, a delectable tasty drink with mezcal with a hint of pineapple. And other well drink that was perfect for a nice afternoon. HH drink special was quite tasty to start off. Food wise, started off with an order of the Caesar salad, simple but delicious. Fresh crisp Romaine lettuce and slices of Parmesan and crouton bits. Nice crunch with each bite. The dressing, wow pretty tasty. And an order of the Mac and Cheese . Most places it's either a hit or a miss and let me say it was a HIT. Quite cheesy and full of flavors that a second order was had. A dish I do recommend for HH. We also had an order of the Brussels sprouts which was excellent. A nice glaze and crunchy with chunks of house cured pancetta. Nice big chunks I must say. Lastly the beef sliders with Wagyu beef patties. Honestly, this was the least favorite of the dishes we got. You would think it sounded great but it was quite tasteless and nothing major to report on. Served with brioche bun and shredded lettuce and tomatoes and a lemon aioli. I had high hope for it when I saw the group next to us order it but it was a little disappointing. Overall, the Mac and cheese, Caesar salad and Brussels sprouts were all hits. The sliders, disappointing. Other items on HH didn't look too ingesting for us but it was for other people. The rooftop lounge and bar area was the place to be when we were there. It picked up real fast after we got seated. Picnic style tables being occupied by large groups before HH ended. Just the rooftop alone was great and beautiful. It a place that's good for a drink and meal with friends. Downstairs was beautiful but seemed more of an intimate experience. Overall, it was a great choice for a meal during HH.

Between the chaotic parking situation and feeling rushed through the meal, it took away from what could have been a great dining experience. Good food, but the atmosphere and service style completely turned me off from wanting to come back.

Trying several items on the menu provided us a nice sampling of what they have to offer. We enjoyed everything we ordered. My favorite was probably the Brussel sprouts as they were cooked to perfection and not sweet like most restaurants serve them. A close 2nd was the chicken parmesan served over zucchini noodles. The final item ordered was a mushroom pasta with shrimp. The shrimp were fantastic with a light char and perfect flavoring. The pasta was good. It was a bit to spicy for me with the chili oil so I only had a small portion. The inside is simple yet inviting with an open layout.

It did look quite busy on the patio when we checked in with the hostess. We were informed that it would prob be about 20 minutes or so for a table and if we wanted to wait at the bar. Exactly what we did. Bar area had maybe 5/6 hi top chairs that look onto the bar. Gabriel and Francisco who were working was knocking the drinks out one by one. Sitting there and just watching them create magic for everyone, it was quite amusing. Seeing how it's made and presented with precise detail, it was an art. While waiting for the table we started off with the raspberry lychee martini and the spicy margaritas. Both were great. The right amount of kick with each sip. Gabriel was knocking them out one by one and man was he busy. Fransisco took are of us while we were eating which we ended up just having our dinner at the bar instead. The last time I remembered the chicken Parmesan which was excellent. So we started off with the grilled prawns as a starters. Five prawns in a skewers and grilled with a delicious sauce accompanied. It was tasty and quite delicious. Decent size and meaty for each bite. Entrees was a little mishap as our meal was mistakenly given to the party next to us which they enjoyed. Honesty mistake but we laughed it off. Kitchen was informed and a rushed was put on our order. We weren't in a rush so it was fine with us. They apologized and graciously offered us a dessert after dinner. Something simple but very graceful for the honest mistake. Entrees, the wild mushrooms pasta which was quite tasty and pretty decent in size. The cream sauce which wasn't too over powering the meal was great. Each bite was very tasty. Then there was the chicken Parmesan which why we were here and expecting. The last visit it was excellent with grilled broccolini, slices of tomatoes on top and mozzarella cheese and onto spaghetti pasta. It was great. Thinking it would be the same this time which it wasn't. This visit, it was just served with squash pasta and buffalo mozzarella on top. Honestly it wasn't what I expected, somewhat of a little disappointed. Chicken was good don't get me wrong. But the hot meat with sauce and then you have literally COLD squash pasta paired with it. It was a little underwhelming. Overall, we still had a nice experience. The place was pretty full and of course the lakers were on so it was fun seeing everyone cheering them on. Bar seating for a meal was great as we had fun conversations with both Gabriel and Francisco. Plus they were cranking them drinks out one by one. Excellent in what they do. The drinks were great, grilled prawns and wild mushrooms pastas were excellent. Chicken parm, this time was a miss. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and cocktails. Also the dessert, highly recommend the Cinnabon with vanilla ice cream. Wow, it went down very well. Hoping next time will outdo this.
