    Margarita flight
    Chekiva D.

    Went to have a post birthday celebration and it was outstanding. We had a lake front view at about 630 so it was nice outside. Our waitress was nice and attentive making food accommodations and recommendations since I have a good allergy. I didn't really like the black beans but the fajita quesadillas were amazing!!

    My girl and I went here after my trip from Texas and had dinner with her family. The shrimp tacos are bomb!!! Love it!! Great portion and drinks are really good!! Went here second time to chat with my girl. Customer service is great, our servers are accommodating and friendly. I love seating outside dinning to see the lake much quieter. The inside looks great also but kinda loud. Place is clean and great decorations. I'll come back for more food.

    Molcajete
    Sam K.

    I love this place, especially when it's nice enough to sit outside. The service is always really good and I always get the Molcajete. It's a massive food tower in a bed of cheese and dark creamy sauce. It is so delicious and I always have some left over to take home for the next day. It is served with rice and tortillas to make your own little taco, and it is so satisfying. Try it with a glass of their equally delicious sangria

    Chicken Fajitas

    Love having this restaurant close by! The food is always delicious. I've never had something that I didn't like!! The wait staff is always attentive and incredibly friendly. It can get loud in there when they are really busy and on the weekends for brunch they usually have a Mariachi band! They also have a covered outdoor area which is dog friendly!! Love going here for good food and drinks!

    Vegi-Macho Burrito with no dairy products
    Kait V.

    Service was great and the food was very good. We did the table side guacamole which was a little expensive considering as a vegan the bacon and queso had to be removed. I wish they would have discounted it without those items as those are expensive ingredients. Should be a separate up charge to make it cheesy and meaty if someone wants to make their guacamole that way. It was very delicious regardless. I got the vegetable burrito without any dairy products and it had tons of vegetables with a delicious verde salsa. We were sat next to a table of 35 people who screamed and yelled and clapped every few minutes to celebrate a birthday which good for them but it took away from our dining experience. I felt like I had gone to a concert and needed ear buds to block out the noise. I had to yell my order to the server and to talk to my friend we had to yell. Something like that should be booked far away from other people dining. It was the worst noise I have ever experienced in a restaurant when we just went to catch up after not seeing each other for about a year. Something for the manager and host team to think about. Maybe large parties that feel like they are having their own private party should have to pay a fee to be there after hours so they can scream and yell without impacting others dining experience. Just a thought. Food was good. This was my first experience. Not sure I would go back unless there was a guarantee for normal noise levels. I lost my voice from trying to talk to my friend at dinner kind of something else.

    Carne Asada Burrito
    Vicente H.

    Ordered the carne asada burrito, al rice and burn, with little pieces of meat. Service was very nice, I ordered skinny margaritas and they were also very good...but the food was just terrible, a thievery with the portion of meat, lots of rice and bean, no meat.

    The food and drinks were very good, but pricey. The atmosphere is very nice and feels high-end which explains the pricing a bit. The service was pretty lackluster. Everyone was very nice but service was slow. Drinks took a while to come out and I was never given the last drink I ordered. My wife's food came out nearly 15 minutes after everyone else's so we think it was forgotten at first. We had a larger party so that is a factor. We would still give this place another chance due to the food and atmosphere.

    guacamole

    I've tried many Mexican pleases nearby, NOTHING COMPARES! This Azteca location has become one of my favorite go-to spots, the servers are starting to recognize me (LOL)! Chips and drinks are always topped off, servers are great all around. Music is always on it seems like whenever we go, I always try to get outdoor seating when I can since it's next to a lake. They also got the best table side fresh guacamole compared to all the other places I've been! I always either get the carne asada, salad, or steak quesadilla, nothing disappoints. I will always recommend this location to friends that stay/live nearby!

    Beautiful fountain
    Jazzy T.

    We went here to celebrate someone's birthday. Everything was good. Service was quick and easy. We will be back again. Ambiance was comfortable. Although, there was a lot of people, the place wasn't too noisy.

    Shrimp

    What a fun experience. If there was more seating, it would've been nice to sit outside to enjoy to enjoy the view, but there wasn't enough seating to accommodate a table of 5. They have a gratuity charge of 20% for tables of 6 or more. The Arroz con Mariscos was incredible! It was a special on their menu and I was impressed by the seafood. I have a shrimp allergy and they were able to put it to the side. The Mexican rice could've used a little more flavor, but the soup base of the dish made it incredibly savory. The portions were huge and overall the table loved their food. The salsa was one of the best salsas we've had at a Mexican restaurant. It had a small kick that gave it the perfect flavor. We had been offered for a spicier salsa and that was also fantastic. They refilled our chips quickly!

    Tacos De Birria

    Sadly, I was disappointed. I had high hopes considering the restaurant itself was beautiful, and the view outside was gorgeous. It took a while to get recognition from the staff and to be seated. On top of that, our waitress, although nice, was barely seen. However; the food is what really disappointed me. The beans tasted like plain beans in water... no flavor whatsoever. The rice was ehh. Lacked flavor but almost had a jalapeño taste?? Not the best. The tacos were also mid. Despite the onion and cilantro, the meat didn't have much flavor to it either. Very bland. The consomé for the tacos was thick. Normally with birria tacos I have had a more brothy/liquidy type of sauce. I will say, the salsa that came with the chips was by far my favorite part of the meal. The salsa was very good. We also ordered plain queso, and that too, almost had some sort of jalapeño taste to it. Not a bad thing, just different. For two people who both ordered birria tacos, each had a margarita, and one side of queso, cost around $94.

    Good food, great margaritas! Easy to get seated and often not crazy busy. Service is fast and the staff is very accommodating and helpful. My favorite starter is the tamales, chips and salsa. Typically get Carne Asada and Shrimp tacos. The steak is tender and flavorful. Definitely grab your girls, get a seat at the bar and love your best life! If there mariachi band is playing even better!!

    Mango margarita with San Matias, silver tequila
    Melinda V.

    I must say this look like a really classy restaurant when we walked in with a huge beautiful bar. We were seated and in about five minutes later, our server appeared it took our drinks and then took a while to come back at this time of day. there wasn't really a lot of people on our side of the restaurant. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I have to say that and I definitely will come back but the reason I gave this review not five stars was because of the service there were times we could not find our server and has a call on another server at a neighboring table to help us or to get our server Other than that great time I recommend anyone coming by and trying this place. Hopefully you don't get the same server we had! Also, I needed to note that this bar has almost every single kind of tequila and there has been a tequila that I have been looking for for two years and they had it. It is called San Matias. You know I had to have a margarita with it and that was delicious.

For the food, the best item on the bbq chicken platter was the creamed corn. There was a perfect crunch on top and the cream paired very well with the sweet corn. I believe it had jalapeños in it but there barely was any spice. The bbq chicken tasted just like you would imagine it and the fries weren't anything special. My girlfriend really enjoyed the lobster mac & cheese. Just like the creamed corn, my girlfriend complimented the crunch on top of the entree. We both liked the spinach dip and the chips were lightly seasoned well too. For the drinks, we got the baby blue cosmo and the espresso martini. The martini was good and the cosmo was pretty strong for it being a restaurant.

We were dying for a place with fresh air and outdoor seating, so a colleague found Canvas and we were all completely on board. This exceeded all expectations. The outdoor table in a covered area on the lake was just what we needed and the space itself is beautiful. Our server was Elizabeth and she was someone who has a real gift for delivering great hospitality. We were a larger, last minute group and she really took great care of us so we were all grateful to be seated in her section and all said how excellent she was at her job. The drink list was awesome and they had a great variety of cocktails, mocktails, and wines by the glass/bottle. I had a watermelon ranch water to start, that was so light and refreshing, plus really unique. I then moved onto wine, but my colleagues ordered a variety of drinks like the Lake Side Collins, Espresso Martini, and Blood Orange Cosmo. One in our group who is pregnant really enjoyed the mocktails on the menu. We started with a few apps that Elizabeth recommended, including the whipped ricotta, buffalo chicken, and calamari. We had a lot of different food preferences, but everyone easily found something to order. I had a Caesar salad and truffle fries (the fries were good, but not truffle-y) since like a toddler, I filled up on apps, but everyone cleaned their plates. The portions are also HUGE - two of my friends split the mushroom calzone and a Caesar and it was probably enough food for 3 people. We ended by sharing the Nutella donuts at the table which was the best choice to wrap up a wonderful evening out after two really hard days of work. If I lived in the area, Canvas would be somewhere I'd want in regular rotation to visit - it was a great blend of amazing service, a beautiful ambiance and vibe, and wonderful food/drink options.

I swear this whole experience felt like a social experiment or something. We were quoted a 20-minute wait that turned into 40, which is fine, but when we got the "table ready" text and went up front, the staff didn't even know if our table was actually ready. Already confused. Then we get seated at a 4-person table. We ask if we can sit at the 2-person table literally right next to it (like... less than a foot away), and they say no. Instead, they have us pull apart the 4-person table ourselves to make it work... and we had to clean it too because there was still stuff on it. At this point I'm like ok so we're employees now? Then a manager comes over and asks us to pick up and rotate our table to make space for a couple with a baby. Mind you this is the SECOND time we've had to move our table. We do it... and then they don't even seat the couple there. So we just rearranged the restaurant for fun I guess. The hostess was also hovering and making small talk about a matcha I got from the coffee spot inside, which felt like she was trying to make up for the table situation but it just made everything more awkward. Also why are the water refills like that?? They kept coming by and pouring literal droplets instead of just filling the glass. And our server somehow had perfect timing in the worst way possible -- every single time my mouth was full, she would appear and ask how everything was. It became a running joke. At one point we were laughing so hard because we genuinely couldn't believe what was happening. The crazy part is the food was actually really good. We spent around $200, so I expected the experience to match. Overall... great food, but the service felt like a fever dream. At this point I'm just wondering when HR is sending my onboarding paperwork.
