La Esquina Cocina in Huntsville

Great food and service. Food is flavorful and spicy. Highly recommend the spicy margarita.

Great service and a pretty decent atmosphere too. The food was alright but overpriced in my opinion.

Would like to go back for the food.

I don t even like Mexican food, but the friend group picked this place so I wasn t going to be the odd one out to complain. This place is genuinely SO good, my husband is jazzed I ll finally eat his favorite food.

Nice decor

Fish was old and hard, bartender doesn t know how to mix drinks and service is cold. Disappointing and thoroughly disgusting food and experience.

My first and last experience at La Esquina Cocina. Staff were very friendly and polite but service was abysmally slow for a table of 12 despite only a handful of patrons seated. Drink orders seemed to be at 30 minute intervals and I only had water. It took 45 minutes to order a round of appetizers and more than 30 minutes for them to arrive. Food quality and flavor was terrible. I ordered the Poblano pasta with shrimp and scallops and literally spit out my first bite. The seafood was spoiled and it was the entire dish was visually unappealing. No one at the table finished their meal despite ordering a wide variety of dishes. Would definitely not recommend anyone give this place a try and I m frankly shocked that their ratings are as high as they are.

Not impressed at all. This seems like someone is trying to make a Mexican restaurant into a fancy restaurant, with small portions and high prices. The chairs are hard as a rock, the drinks are weak and tiny, and they didnt even start us out with chips and salsa. I wont be back.

Great experience overall.

Terrible food; no seasoning, and the very next day I was so sick with food poisoning and I will never give them any money ever again. DONT GO HERE!

Our favorite spot in Huntsville! Their guacamole and margaritas are unrivaled to me. David and Juan always take great care of us at the bar or at a table! I ve tried alllllmost everything on the brunch and dinner menus from tapas to entrees to bowls and tacos. I ve never had a bad meal here. We ll continue to support this local restaurant as long as their doors are open.

Amazing all the way around... loved it so much we went back the next day. Their queso with poblano peppers is the best!

I was visiting Huntsville and found this gem. I went with family and everything was absolutely delicious.

Went with a party of eight for Sunday brunch. The drinks were excellent - we had the Holy Mary and various flavors of mimosas. The quesadilla scramble was an absolute hit, but the chilaquiles, both verdes and rojos, were painfully salty to the point of being inedible. Two people ordered steak and eggs and one received a thick, delicious, and juicy steak while the other received something as thin and leathery as my bag. Love the concept and the service was excellent, so hopefully they can clean up some of their kitchen inconsistencies.

Rachel offers the best customer service, is the best bartender, and her leadership should reward her charming, upbeat, positivity. A++++ for Miss Rachel. The food was on point, the best shrimp tacos in all of the Tennessee Valley!!!!

My wife was excited for her Birthday weekend and most excited to have her favorite Margaritas , tacos, chips, quac etc. at La Esquina. We stopped by at 1:40 pm Sunday August 12th only to be discouraged by the front hostess to not eat there. She indicated they would be closing at 2 pm and clearly didnt want to seat us. I worked in the restaurant industry for years and understand the frustration when someone comes in 5 minutes before closing but this was ridiculous. Incredibly disappointed as this was my wifes choice for her Bday and we ending up at another Mexican restaurant instead. Needless to say we will not return.

The food was good as always. Love all the empanadas, and tuna toast. Good salads. Not good Sushi. The bar not to recommend really. Service is bit slow . The place is bright, modern decor, but noisy , even after they put the ceiling panels.

This is definitely not a place to grab something real quick. There is no parking in the area after driving around hunting for a parking place and walking half a mile by the time I got in the restaurant I was ready to sit down and have a drink and with hardly no other patrons in the building I felt that would be feasible but unfortunately it didnt happen. We were seated pretty rapidly but only to sit and wait. The food is definitely not Mexican and nothing to write home about. After we ate and previously requested the bill we still sat and waited some more, whole time there was hardly no customers in the establishment. Needless to say I will not be returning nor recommending this place to anyone that I know.

The steak quesadilla made my tongue slap my brain

Really delicious food! Great tacos and guac. The serving platter for the tacos is form over function, while it looks pretty, all your tacos insides go spilling over the edges as its not a plate but just a serving platter. Also, the service was a bit mid, wish they were nicer, but still worth going.

My favorite Downtown restaurant. The service,food & drinks are always excellent! Keep checking their social media for events and music. Always a place youll see people you know as well!

Good food. Good service. Beautiful atmosphere!

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and accommodates large parties (i.e. 12 ppl). Of note, in order to be seated at least half of the party have to be present. This isn t like most Mexican restaurants where food comes instantly upon ordering - expect somewhat of a wait. I assume that s because items are made fresh to order. Overall, you can t go wrong with the bowls. I ordered the Pollo Bowl and it was packed with flavor. I highly recommend the guacamole dip as an appetizer. Avoid the queso dip, it s super bland. I also tried the Sangaria x2, there were inconsistencies between the two pours. The first pour was mid but the second was way better. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and would definitely be back.

Amazing! Food is fresh and just delicious. There is not one bad thing on the menu.

I hate even writing a review because the food was so bad. The service was good. The place is new and nice. But That was the worst Mexican food Ive ever eaten in my life. And they charged me $7 for some cheese dip that I never order or got. The only thing they had that I thought tasted good was the sweet tea...

Personally my favorite restaurant in all of huntsville!

I had a business dinner at La Esquina Cocina yesterday, and was very happy with our food and the level of service we received! Our server was very attentive and friendly, and the food was delicious. We got the enchiladas verdes and the empanadas de pescado with a side of rice, and we really enjoyed it, considering the fact that we cleaned our plates. I will definitely be back!

Good food and great margaritas. The spicy margarita is $9 on happy hour and well worth it. Dietary restrictions: Menu has vegetarian and gluten free items clearly noted.

Food is fresh and always good! Service is always good- quick and helpful staff. Atmosphere is clean, airy, and fun! Dietary restrictions: If you re gluten free there s lots of good options!

Very nice space, great service. Ordered 3 tacos (rajas, pescado, and fried avocado) and they were so good. The table also had the tortas de papa and Id definitely order that again as a starter. The salsa, chips, and cheese dip were also really good. Menu has so many tasty sounding items that it will be hard to decide next time. Great food, great experience.

We love to go there for dinner or brunch, great food, prices and place, I definitely recommend

If you want to be ignored and made to feel like you are interrupting their day, then this is the place for you. Otherwise stay away.

New favorite spot! The atmosphere is very clean and chill, the menu has good variety without being overwhelming, and the service is genuinely kind! Get the guacamole --super fresh and some of the best Ive had! They have a really neat and eclectic drink menu--I highly recommend the Rosemary 75. The tacos were fabulous (I had the carne asada, grilled shrimp, and carnitas). The portion sizes were more than expected, and the rice and beans had great flavor. Me and some girlfriends had a lovely dinner and could actually hear each other speaking, which can be an issue at many other downtown spots. I loved it! Absolutely going back!

Great food and great vibe! If youre looking for a place to hang out with great food and drinks, this is the place to go.

Food and service was amazing!

Easter brunch for 8. We were well taken care of and the spicy Bloody Maria was so good.

Best food Ive had since moving to the Huntsville area. Customer service was top-notch from begging to end. Daniella..amazing, food...amazing. The Très Leche took me to another world with just one bite. Highly recommend

The parking lot Google takes you too is incorrect. You will get towed. I didnt get towed, but I know that parking lot. Parking: The parking lot Google tells you to go to is incorrect. You will get towed.

We made the most wonderful lucky pick of places to eat! The atmosphere, service, people, vibe, ALL THE THINGS, etc were amazing. The food...so so so good. The poblano pepper tacos, so simple, and yet its now on my last meal wish list. Jr. and Fanny (who we were fortunate enough to meet during our meal) have poured love, heart, soul, and experience into this place, and it shows. First time here, but wont be the last!

Love this place! The food is AWESOME and the service is always excellent!

Absolutely disappointing. I ordered fajitas to go. Decided to wait for the to go order after ordering a top shelf margaritas with water received this however my order was never placed. The owner acted as if it was my fault. However, Ive been ordering from them for 2 + years. Gave me a sub standard dinner to replace the original order. Thats not what i wanted and would have definitely paid for my original order.Just hated their attitude about the situation. Will never return to payron this establishment. Very unprofessional and jerk like behavior. Will try the other Mexican restaurants even though Ive ordered from them numerous years. I will now try the others for Mexican cuisine. Some have higher reviews as well~Cheryl

What can I say other than I fell in love. Beautiful plating, amazing service, and most of all the best Mexican I ve ever had. With my mother being Argentinian one of the best delights is a nice empanada, and I got that here. Please go in lunch time for the best prices and eat something your mind can be blown away from!

It s possible that our expectations were too high for this downtown restaurant, but after going ourselves, we realized what the other reviewers were talking about. The sound does bounce around the space in a way that I could hear everyone else having a conversation even though I couldn t directly make out what anyone was saying. We went during lunch the margaritas were small, overly juicy and not priced accordingly. Go to any Taco Mama if you want an actual margarita that gives you bang for buck. I m a small chick and the dip was a small amount even for me by myself let alone me and my date to share. The food was meh. We got a bowl and empanadas. I bit into one empanada and got pure chicken cartilage which was unfun. The most unfortunate part of the meal was the Tres Leches Spice Cake. The cake was so dense. It was a decent spice flavor but so lacking on the Tres Leches idea that I had to ask for more leche so we could drizzle it on (soak it into) the dry, thick cake. As a Cuban, I was actually kind of offended that they could market that dry cake as a Tres Leches style cake. Just call it a Spice Cake so that people won t order it with an expectation. Overall, won t be back which is too bad because it s always nice to have a new place downtown to eat. It s worth mentioning our waitress seemed aggravated that we even came in which had me laughing awkwardly the entire time.

Its a bit noisy inside, but the food made up for that.

Outstanding, fresh food and clean environment

Great Food and Excellent Service!

Really nice authentic food. The taco plate allows you to pick 3 different ones so you can try whatever floats your taste buds. The drinks from the bar were also very good. The location is very nice although parking can be tricky depending on the day and time but it would be a very short walk in most cases.

First time visiting, it is pretty large inside, nice decor, a lot of seating inside and outside, and they have a bar. It is very clean and also very quite. I went during my lunch break, the food was great. They have a decent sized menu, not your typical items, no free chips and salsa. The service was great, my server was friendly and very attentive. Ive heard good things about brunch, Ill have to come back.

Always great! Got our birthday party of 7 in quickly, service was wonderful and food excellent!

Nice venue, downtown, so parking is abyssmal. Great service. Menu is somewhat eclectic, for Mexican fare. Great homemade chips, beef enchiladas were good. A tad pricey, but good sized portions. Food : 3/5

We went to La Esquina Cocina for Sunday Brunch. It was unlike anything we ve be had before, we all ordered different dishes and sampled a bit of everything. It was wonderful! Highly recommend the Holy Mary if you like cocktails with your brunch.

The food is pretty decent, and better than the last time I went a year or so ago. Service was fine, but the place is so busy on weekends that theres no way the staff can keep up with everything, and so service suffers. Its packed to the gills and everyone is standing around waiting to be seated, so getting to the table, or trying to get out the door to leave isnt much fun.

Heard about this place and was expecting something different. Lets start by saying it was a holiday week so maybe the normal workers were off. Ordered Pollo Bowl which was super bland and hate to say nasty tasting as if unseasoned leftovers were thrown in a bowl together with cold chicken strips straight out of the refrigerated bag. And the heap of soft runny refried beans that lacked any hope of favor but yet together with a lump of creme, was all I could taste in the dish. Sadly, I couldnt eat half of it. Again, maybe the regular cooks were on holiday. If I ever return in the future, Ill order something simple like a quesadilla. But today was a disappointment.

Great wine, food, and drinks.

The food is delicious (vegan and veg options!), serviced is warm and kind, the vibe is cool, definitely a top spot in the area.

Amazing food! The food is so good and it is worth enjoying the service and the ambiance over there!

Food and service were terrific. Kids loved it too. Amazing shrimp quesadilla.

The holiday cocktails are amazing. We always enjoy the food and atmosphere here. The service is always perfect. One of our fav places in Huntsville.

This place has some if the freshest food ivr ever had. Im honestly at a loss of words for how delicious this place was.

Went for lunch with a couple friends. Was a little disappointed that the lunch menu was very limited. We got quesadillas, and they ended up being really good. Id be interested in returning to order off the full menu. Our server was very nice and helpful and I tried the seasonal holiday margarita which was a bit pricey at 13 dollars, but it did taste pretty good and looked pretty. Someone at the table got chips with salsa and Queso. We really loved the green salsa, and the Queso had a super unique flavor that we enjoyed. I can say Ive never had Queso like it before and I go to a lot of Mexican restaurants. Overall, I was fairly pleased. Just wish their lunch menu was bigger.

Fantastic food, great service, beautiful presentation. What a nice treat on New Years Eve. Looking forward to dining here again.

The pork shoulder and chorizo tacos were amazing!

A nice, comfortable and quiet place, the food was delicious, the 3 leches dessert was recommended, rich, fluffy and not so sweet

Great food and atmosphere. I ve had several of the small plates, chicken bowl, and several cocktails.

Outstanding atmosphere and the best steak I have had in Huntsville or Guntersville. Steak? you say? Yes. Best steak I ve had at a restaurant and it s not a steakhouse. Try it and sample everything else on the menu. You will not be disappointed.

Does not deliver the quality you would expect out of such an upscale environment and price model. Fresh plates of disappointment will leave you asking, how does this place generate money? P.s. sensitive owner in reviews, be mindful.

Fantastic selection of tequila. All top shelf. The salmon is great.

Great place for traditional Mexican food and better than traditional Mexican food. The tuna appetizer is amazing!

Wish they had a location in my town! We visited and had a fabulous taco dinner. Everything is homemade and fresh, including the highly recommended Verde salsa. Chorizo, chicken, grilled shrimp, and shredded pork tacos all excel. The steak taco not as much. Service was solid. Love the ability to see the kitchen at work. Cool tv mural showing scenes of Mexican paradise. Sangria was good too! Disfruta! (Enjoy!)

Parking: Dont park in the lot behind the restaurant. Food

The pork chop dinner was off the charts, very good!

Love the TV wall playing footage of marine life! My in-laws really enjoyed their meal. Weve had brunch and dinner here, and I actually preferred their brunch menu!

Great atmosphere and the food was very pleasing to my palette. Vegetarian options: The portabella sandwich was awesome. Parking: Need more parking

Good service. Good drinks. Get the shrimp bowl, you wont be disappointed

Went here for Valentines Day so there was a limited menu but everything was delicious. Atmosphere was perfect and our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks are expensive just like anywhere else but they were good as well. I would definitely go back.

Customer Service and Management for the win. We went for Valentines day dinner. After we ordered we were told that the kitchen ran out of an item, no problem we were able to make a change. We had a few issues with our check, being charged for items we never received. We expected the check to be corrected by removing the items. HOWEVER, the manager was great and gave us a discount on our full bill! She was very professional and responsive to our feedback regarding a main entrée and experience. It was not our first time and we will most definitely return again.

Damn good food.

Its like everywhere in town... Avoid peak hours and be nice to the staff, it goes a long way. The food was good and prices reasonable. The bartender is knowledgeable and did a good job after what was obviously a long day.

Bare with me here. Food was great, service was good. However this place is more of a nightclub or bar. WAY to loud inside (listen to video). They need a bunch of soundboard throughout. I could not even gear my waitress. Was in at 7pm on a Monday night and not even at 50% capacity.

One of my favorite restaurants in Huntsville! Every dish I ve tried has been amazing, and the drinks are always perfect. Cannot recommend this place enough!

I was in Huntsville for a conference and I ate at this location. Great friendly service and great food

Really good experience with Landon and left with a full belly 10/10 Kid-friendliness: My sisters crayons broke and she cried

Great food and excellent service from Landon Moore

yummy! thanks for telling me about this place Landon!!

I was really impressed with this place and their service as well as the server i had. Big thanks to landon! Kid-friendliness: my little sister loved their food. They really had a variety for children.

Really good experience with Landon and the food was amazing

The server Landon Moore was great, he was always checking on us and fast with any requests, over all the experience was great, definitely recommend this place to everyone wanting to have a great time

Tostada de Atun is the best around.

Pros: Free valet parking Great happy hour deals Delicious food Good ambiance Professional service Cons: Need reservation on weekends High prices outside of happy hour No complimentary chips and salsa Small salsa portions Overall: This restaurant stands out in downtown Huntsville dining with their dedication to ambiance and quality service, and that starts with their complementary valet parking which speaks for itself! Our experience with servers, valet and management there has been exceptional. Their happy hour specials are great- $2 off margaritas and $15 charcuterie boards are an awesome night out, but their regular prices are definitely on the higher end for the food you get (but its pretty consistant with downtown dining and remember- free valet!). We were surprised by the appetizer plate prices for salsa or guac and chips though. Their chips are very well seasoned and salted, so I assume they make them in house which is why they arent complementary, but we ran out of salsa way before we finished our chips and its another full charge to get more which is a bummer. Their charcuterie boards are lovely, with your choice of meats and cheeses with a lovely jam, berries and toasted bread. I highly recommend getting goat cheese and prosciutto, as they seemed to pair the best with the extras they put on the plate. Good quality food and ambiance for a fun night out! Parking: Free valet parking right by the side of the restaurant- amazing!

Great dinner. Definitely in the upper echelon of dinner spots in Huntsville. Spicy Margarita was fresh, light and spicy. Wife had three different tacos and the fresh avocado and aioli taco was a big hit. I had the Tostada de atun...Wow... I loved the tuna and tomatillo. Great flavors. Will come back. Thanks for the great dinner and service.

One of the best restaurants in Huntsville and our new go-to. Unfailing food quality and service! Excellent vegetarian choices.

I ordered the Mahi dinner and it looked delicious but the flavor tasted like burnt charcoal. I couldnt eat it and the burnt taste stayed in my mouth. The salad was delicious though.

Great atmosphere and service. The Pollo bowl was super good but the cheese dip was nothing to brag about. Kid-friendliness: Accommodated my 6 month old

Went to lunch here on a recommendation of the local Chamber of Commerce. It s just around the corner from their office. We started with the chips and the two salsas, guacamole and queso. The guacamole blew my mind it was so delicious. I knew from that moment what I ordered needed guacamole. So I ordered the chicken bowl. The little pieces of pineapple on it - gave it that little extra to make the meal exceptional. I love the atmosphere of the place. Can t wait to go back.

Skip the myriad TexMex restaurants in the area and try this delicious authentic Mexican fare made with locally sourced ingredients. Ignore the modern decor and montage of the Norwegian landscape. The food is INCREDIBLE!!!!

Came for Easter brunch. Adult beverages were on point, the salsa Verde was delicious & our server with the long grayish/green hair was very attentive but very difficult to hear her due to the noise level & her soft voice. Overall... the perfect place to be. Plan to come back for dinner soon.

Im still dreaming about the tamarind margarita. It was perfection, perfectly sweet and refreshing. The taco plate was fantastic with the chorizo, carnitas and carne asada.

Parking: Weekends feature free street parking. Food

I would come back

Excellent tacos and very spicy margs!

It is really the best mexican restaurant in the area. I like it

First time at La Esquina Cocina. The cheese dip was really good, I think the best Ive ever had. The artichoke chorizo dip was good, a little different flavor with the artichoke, but I liked it.

Well, let s start here. 1. I placed an online order 2. I am handicapped 3. I get there and call where to park and get told there isn t any curbside parking and the hostess should have turned that off. 4. I even gave a 10% tip for someone to do my curbside, all I got was rudeness for these young, non respectful generation. This was my first and last.. Now the food Being fair, it was ok, nothing special, and way over priced. Google has $$, not true for this place, it s $$$, plus way to expensive for mediocre food. Atmosphere doesn t make up the difference , service looked average while I was there, too much talking, not enough working, I saw 2 different people have to get up to get what they wanted, it was 1/2 full at best. Please don t give me any excuses, there isn t any, just another business, who doesn t care about true customer service Parking: Plus curbside is a lie!!! First and last visit, everyone beware Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking is in the back, might as well not have one. Plus, curbside is a lie!!! First and last visit

Came here for cinco de mayo and got kicked out despite our whole party being here. We were still actively ordering and we noticed waiters werent even coming to our table and It was obvious this restaurant wasnt accommodating us and was prioritizing other parties instead. We werent offered any water either. They dont support diverse crowds clearly! Instead they accommodate people they know zoom into the picture.They reserved their table without the entire party being there Update: 10 minutes late I spoke to the manager Veronica and she didnt apologize or accommodate.

Worst service I have EVER experienced. I m sitting at a table with 7 people that was only meant for 4. Every time we asked for a table extension we were denied. However they have had a table for 14 that has been sitting empty for over an hour. All the people in my party that arrived after the first two weren t even offered water. They told us that we were past our two hour limit (a rule that doesn t exist) while we were still waiting on things we ordered. I will not be returning. When we spoke to Veronica, supposedly the manager, all she said was oh I wasn t told you all were still ordering no apologies or concessions for our horrible service.

We had a great visit for Cinco de Mayo. Fantastic service, great food. While it is often just a component the fresh salsa is truly legit! Thank you La Esquina!

Literally had the worst experience for a dine in establishment, McDonalds curbside had better staff/service compared to what we experienced tonight. It was super slow around 4:50pm and had several servers standing around but ours in particular took the cake and literally only brought us one glass of water each and then sat down behind us and barely saw her again for the rest of the miserable hour we were unfortunately there for. We asked for no onions for our dish and was ignored and still had onions on top and on the inside. When we got our food we asked if the onions were just on the outside or also inside she didnt apologize or anything and just said Im not sure but I dont think so. and left again. We were also left hostage and had to flag down a different server just to get our check. Management seemed to be lacking and the experience was just sad and embarrassing. We were also not pleased with over priced food that was bland and couldnt even finish our food. Food aside, the service alone was overwhelming negative I never want to see this place again. If I could post without a star I would.

The dishes here are not worth the prices even remotely and the service was lackluster. Our familys drinks were empty most of the meal and it took 45 minutes to bring it to us. My steak was overdone and flavorless unless you count the burnt grill flavor. Also the menu said 8oz, but it was maybe 5 at most. Basically people are just paying for the aesthetic. The view on the water was nice, however.

Wonderful tacos, tasty drinks and friendly service.

Nice vibe; great food, with nice portion sizes; great drinks; and good service!

The atmosphere was perfect the service was decent as well but the food was horrendously awful my ribeye was very burnt tasted like charcoal my date and his friends didn t eat their food either it was our first time in this establishment will not be returning

Great atmosphere and very helpful team.

We stopped by to try something new to us and it was a great option! The food and the service was fantastic.. I m looking forward to going back!

This is a hard one to rate. I really enjoyed pretty much everything. Spicy Margarita and Empanadas we re my favorite. Shrimp taco and fish taco both were really good. Didn t care for the chorizo artichoke dip, no flavor. The carne asada taco wasn t bad just not as good as the others.

Delicious food and fun ambience! Kid-friendliness: My 12 yo loved it! Food : 5/5 |

The food was a major let down, especially for the price of the food. It was as though they wanted to have great food presentation instead of flavor. The service was great. Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options was lack luster

So wonderful. Delicious and perfectly spicy!

One of the best places to eat in Huntsville. This is a higher-end, classy Mexican restaurant with amazing food, excellent service, and a fun, lively atmosphere. The dining area is clean, contemporary, and bright with natural light through the large windows. The entire kitchen is visible through a large glass wall and you get to watch the kitchen staff cook your food as well as prep the fresh made salsas and sauces. The chips and salsa is a must for a starter. The food is unique, fresh, and vibrant. The cocktails are hand-crafted and absolutely delicious. La Esquina Cocina is a must visit if you re in the Huntsville area!

Nice brunch

For me too much meat in the tacos and not enough other flavors in the taco.

This place was really cute and the service was great. Staff was super friendly. However, the food was way overpriced and just mediocre. There are so many places in town that you can eat at that will be cheaper and have WAY better food.

Absolutely delicious. Its so nice to have an upscale Mexican eatery in Huntsville.

The experience was ok. It took around thirty minutes to get our entree after me and my mother made the order. I noticed that there wasnt a lot of waiters or waitresses even though we came in when it just opened. I wasnt expecting a Mexican restaurant to not give us salsa chips for free, which is disappointing since Rosies Cantina and Phil Sandoval. The Asian tacos were ok. The atmosphere is great though.

When esquina first opened it was great. But the last few times the food has been really bland, the meat and rice are always over cooked and the guacamole has zero seasoning. This past time our waitress Paola had the WORST attitude. Girl if you don t feel good just call out. Or get you a job with some paid time off because coming to work like that will get you ZERO tip. The hostess girls were nice anyway we won t be back

Great place for brunch on Sundays and dinner any night

Lunch. Outside. Quiet. Relaxed.

A gem in downtown Huntsville. Im always so impressed everytime I come here with the staff, drinks, and meal. Its not stuffy, youre not super close to anyone else, and the food is incredible. Would highly recommend for a datenight or birthday dinner. Vegetarian options: Very good vegetarian options in both the small plates and the tacos! Parking: Can be difficult to find street parking, but theres usually parking to the left of the restaurant in front of the bank.

Came here for the first time on a recommendation that the food is good but they need more business .. well, I found out why. They are RUDE, but the guacamole was very good! They should probably consider removing steak since they can t cook one to proper temp. I had a couple bites of my 8 oz ribeye s tail before discovering the entire stem was medium well instead of the MEDIUM RARE I so clearly ordered. Since the bartender didn t care to check back, I ate around the steak until he could bother. I received another steak which so clearly their passive-aggressive way of fixing THEIR mistake. The 2nd one had no seasoning and it was not the cut you ever send out of a kitchen..

Best restaurant at the city harbor

After over a year of really wanting to go to this place, we tried it on a Sunday, Aug 6, 2023. And well we could never get service to the table so we left. And Sunday s its Brunch only and we didn t know. All in all we were upset and disappointed. Its like from the first minute my wife and I set foot in the restaurant no one want to serve us or talk to us. When i ask one of the servers for help. I got this I hate you people, look . I wish them well. But we will not Ever go back. Plus its to hard to park. And I don t think they like Senior Citizens.

Brunch offers many different varieties, but the Ribeye steak is a perfect Choice of Delicious Satisfaction

Food is a little different from most Mexican restaurants. However, really good, staff was very knowledgeable and could accommodate needs and changes.

Came here last night for some tacos and margaritas with my neighbor! Absolutely FANTASTIC margarita and so many options for tacos and other food. Our server was great and didn t rush us at all, however it was a Tuesday night and pretty slow! A little pricey for what I would like to pay for 3 street-size tacos, especially when you don t get chips and salsa unless you order/pay for them, but the tacos were so good I still have to give 5 stars. I got the salmon, pollo Al pastor, and fresh avocado. My friend got the salmon, carne asada, and pulled pork. The grilled pineapple was amazing on top of the salmon! Will definitely be here again very soon!!

Food was really good. Loved the menu. Not your typical order by number Mexican. Upscale at a non upscale price.

Excellent, friendly service...authentic, delicious Mexican cuisine...uptown atmosphere.

Everything was amazing! Food, drinks and service was all top notch. Highly suggest for Sunday brunch

A go to spot for me! I enjoy their food, drinks and atmosphere.

My wife and I have been 3 times and it has become one of our favorite places to splurge on date night. We love the shrimp bowl! The portions are really good and they are actually generous with the shrimp. We ALWAYS get the chips and salsa. Easily my favorite chips and salsa around here. We also recently tried one of the small plates called the Tortas De Papa. It was all so good! Wish I had taken a photo. All the food is so pretty. As far as atmosphere. I has a really nice vibe. It s a big, beautiful, bright open space and feels like we are in a cool restaurant in Nashville or something.They did a great job with ambiance. As far as service, our experience has been great all 3 times. The servers have been friendly and very attentive. Yes, you will spend a little more than you would at some Mexican style restaurants around, but it s definitely more specialized/unique in their offerings. Definitely recommend trying if you haven t.

The food is wonderful!

The best high-end Mexican experience in Huntsville. The food is exemplary with service and atmosphere to match. I m a regular here and I m never disappointed.

Best place in downtown! It is absolutely stunning and the perfect atmosphere!

We had chips and queso, Salmon salad, Care asada tacos and the chocolate crème brûlée. All were awesome. The only negative if you call it that is the tacos were small like appetizer size. So 3 tacos would be like 1 1/2 tacos. But with all the other food it was plenty. Service was top notch and the view of the lake made it even better. Definitely a do again.

Never disappoints. Been here multiple times for dinner, lunch and brunch. I highly recommend it.

Great place for a quick bite and drink.

Do not park in big parking lot behind restaurant. Towed my car sucks

Great Mexican food by the river. This place was so beautiful and clean! We ordered taco plater and quesadilla (vegetarian). Great options for veggie lovers as well. The quality of the food is excellent and service is great with superb ambiance.

Excellent upscale Mexican food with great flavors and unique tacos. Fresh tasting with deep and complex seasonings that make for a delicious dining experience. Always enjoy coming there.

Tacos were great, and the chocolate creme brulee!

Great place to eat with excellent Margaritas.

I m here visiting from Los Angeles, so I think I know a thing or two about tacos. I had the three taco meal with the Al Pastore chicken, the Carne Asada and the grilled Pescado fish taco. All three of which were quite good, but the one that stood out to me was the Al Pastore taco. If I were to recommend anything from this restaurant, it would be that. Since I am traveling alone for business, my overall mood was a little bit lower because I was eating alone, but then I got ice cream after, so it kind of helped.

Excellant service, excellant food.

Absolutely phenomenal meal. So much flavor, generous portions, you can tell the tortillas are homemade- they are so soft and fluffy. The salsas were outrageously delicious, cocktails too. Thanks for a very memorable meal, we will definitely be back!

Tacos were awesome, however, refried beans and rice were nothing special. Service and atmosphere were great as well. Cold beer on tap and tasty margaritas. Highly recommend!

Delicious and friendly staff. A bit pricey considering the portions but worth it and not too bad compared to other options in that area.

Parking: Behind building. About10 spots

The shrimp and chicken tacos with rice and beans were really good. Great flavors all around and great prices.

THOSE MARGS ARE AMAZING!! Give the bartender a raise!!!!! I had the shrimp and steak quesadilla! Very good! My husband enjoyed his food as well! We will be back!

Ive been here several times for brunch. Mango guava mimosas, Florentine Benedict, potatoes and the chilaquiles are my favorites. Vegetarian options: Florentine eggs bendict

Talked to your manager Lauren! Shes awesome and made our experience even better!

Amazing tacos! Can t wait to go back for drinks.

Over priced, poor customer service from the male host, low quality food. Worst birthday meal I have ever had. The first time we went it was nice and the food was fresh and good. But today I went for my birthday dinner with my family. It was horrible! We wanted to eat outside and there was someone else out there and they would not let us even though I mentioned it was my birthday. While we were there they let someone else out there. The food wasn t good at all. The green and red salsa was awful!! The chips and queso different but bearable. The Salmon no flavor. The tacos were not good. The only descent thing was my chicken quesadilla but it was not bad good as the first time. It tasted old and wasn t super warm. It was $93 before the tip. We will not be returning.

Great little place, huge bonus that they were open on a Monday. This was the only restaurant open on Monday in the city harbor. I sat at the bar and the bartender was great, she had great menu and tequila recommendations. I feel the margaritas were a bit lacking for the price tag but well mixed. The food was excellent and the grilled some fresh jalapenos upon request. A bit pricey but worth it overall. Vegetarian options: Had plenty of vegetarian options. Wheelchair accessibility: Full access

Really good service, convenient downtown location, a bit expensive for what it is. But a good experience

I walked into this restaurant having high hopes. It was my first time going and I ordered a meal that I thought would be tasty. Halfway through the meal, I realized that the meal was wrong. I ordered salmon and lox bagel and they brought out an egg Benedict. After talking to the manager, she said she cannot charge me for the original meal I ordered because I had already started eating. If you want to get your order messed up ..this is the place to go !!!
