June 2024 Stopped by for a little bite and drinks before they were closing on a Saturday night. ...
The ambiance was great, I love the rustic interior decor they got going on and a great spot to host private events as there were two happening while my friend and I were there for brunch. Food was amazing and the cocktails were delicious. ...
A local favorite for more upscale Mexican dishes. The tacos are amazing with fresh house made tortillas. Taco Tuesday is definitely a favorite with rotating specials and vegetarian options too! Great cocktails and beers on draft. Also, dogfriendly with the large bar area inside and a huge patio outside!
Great place for a family brunch or for a friends party. Very spacious, with modern interior and the food is great. They have brunch and dinner menus. We loved everything we ordered, even though ceviche was pretty spicy. Service was fast. Also the place has good accessibility for strollers and Id call it kid friendly.
Went here after a baseball game. They managed to keep up a high level of service even tho every table was full. ...
I was in town for a Giants game and went here for lunch. I had the enchiladas, fish tacos, and rice. Everything is a la carte, so youll have to build your own plate. It was was very tasty. I recommend Merkado
Shrimp tacos with chimichurri was amazing. The Queso fundido was absolutely delicious and the elote was A...not to mention the Paloma and Once in a Melon cocktail...cant forget the great service.
