I went here with a large group (10) on Sunday last weekend. We went during Happy Hour (3-6p daily)…read morewhen their margaritas/beer/wine and appetizers were all $2 off. This is a very scenic and modern upscale restaurant near the heart of downtown Georgetown. The interior is nicely appointed and understatedly elegant. The inside and outside restaurant and bar areas are expansive but easily outstrip the provided parking. There is also street parking nearby, but don't be surprised if you wind up walking from nearby public lots or garages. I can easily see this place being packed. We had a reservation and were promptly seated and offered water service. As with most Mexican restaurants, there's an expansive menu, so we ordered drinks while we perused the menu. I found the Encantada margarita to be quite tasty, but it was a bit expensive. At $11 for a single serving with house liquors, closer to what we've come to expect locally for a Mexican martini (theirs was $18 with house, $24 with call). That's a bit over-the-top IMHO. We were offered complimentary chips and salsa; I remember the chips to be excellent, and the red salsa just right for my taste, but others remarked that it was too spicy. Our waitress (Paulina) joked that the only thing less spicy was their ketchup. They also have a green salsa, which is even spicier, but that we all skipped. The food menu has a lot of chef-inspired offerings. I tried the Grilled Chicken Tacos (Grilled Chicken, Cilantro, Onion, Fresco Cheese) at $16. I had one on flour and one on corn to taste the difference in tortillas with the same ingredients, along with a side bowl of black beans. I found them flavorful but also on the small side for the price. Additional tacos are $5 each. No rice was offered. This was one of their least expensive plates. We had a great time and our drink and food service was nothing less than excellent, but I couldn't help but come away feeling that, for a check that tabbed in just under $100 (with tip) we should have had a fuller tummy. Would we come back? Maybe. We'll have to explore their other options and perhaps graze more off the appetizer menu; however, less than $5 separate most of their appetizers from their plate dinners. This is a place to go for a culinary and visual experience, not an everyday meal.

I went to this restaurant a bit skeptical because I had heard it was just okay. I noticed they had…read morechanged their name and thought they might have made some improvements, so I decided to give it a try with my family. We went on a Friday and had about a 45-minute wait, which wasn't an issue. I would recommend making a reservation if you're planning to go on the weekend. Once we were checked in, our experience was great. I sincerely wish I remembered our server's name--it was something like Jeane or George--but he was excellent. Truly some of the best service I've experienced. He went above and beyond, recommended popular dishes, and even guaranteed that if we didn't like them, he would take care of it. To my surprise, he was absolutely right. All the appetizers and entrées were great. I ordered a burger, which isn't what you'd typically expect at a Mexican restaurant, but it ended up being one of the best burgers I've had in the area. My wife had the fajitas, and we also shared queso with chips and a sampler of chips and dips--everything was excellent. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items and hope we get the same level of service again.

New addition to the Georgetown culinary scene is a must-try…read more A recent KVUE Foodie Friday prompted us to try it and the food (and owner Eric's charm) will have us returning to try other menu offerings. The tasty Salsa Roja and chips wetted our appetite while our tacos were being freshly prepared. The mole taco was better than comparable mole tacos that we've eaten in interior Mexico. Literally the best that we've ever eaten. The Gobenador taco, with the lightly breaded shrimp bursts with flavor. I overcooking here and better than those offered on Mexico's pacific coast. The highly recommended Quesabirria taco melts in your mouth with abundant flavor. The elote was the perfect complement to our tacos, tasting fresh off the grill. No preparation corners here, with even the corn and flour tortillas made freshly in-house. A visit by joint owner/proprietor Erica at our table was a welcomed surprise, providing origins and insights to the unique twists to traditional Mexican tacos that standout above the rest. Urban taco is a taco apothecary and Erica is the resident taco alchemist. ¡Muy Brueno!

STOP SCROLLING. I Found the Taco Spot…read more It's Taco Tuesday, and all I wanted was a good taco. Now, let me set the stage: I grew up on the Mexican border. Homemade flour tortillas weren't a special occasion--they were just dinner. So when I see yet another taco restaurant claiming to be authentic, I'm usually skeptical. That's exactly how I felt when scrolling had me stumble across Urban Taco...then I read a review that mentioned homemade flour and corn tortillas. My interest was officially piqued. And let me tell you... THEY WERE NOT LYING. These tortillas aren't "warmed up from a package" good. They're not "restaurant homemade" good. They're grandma-made-these-at-5-a.m.-and-would-be-offended-if-you-called-them-store-bought good. Before ordering, I asked for recommendations. What impressed me immediately was that both the cashier and the server knew the menu inside and out. They didn't just point at popular items--they explained ingredients, flavor profiles, and pairings, helping me build an order based on what I actually like. You could tell they believed in the food they were serving. In the end...I chose four different catwgories Cachete on corn Pescador on corn Al Pastor on flour Asada in flour Guacamole on the side While waiting for my to-go order, I decided to sit in my car and catch up on emails because Texas weather was doing Texas weather things. A few minutes later, a tiny female walked my food out to me. I assumed it was a staff member helping out. Nope. It was the chef. THE CHEF. And that told me everything I needed to know about this place. When a chef is willing to leave the kitchen to personally deliver a fresh order to a customer, that's pride. That's ownership. That's someone who genuinely cares about the experience. Now let's talk tacos. The Cachete taco was absolutely ridiculous. Tender, rich, melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The kind of taco that makes you stop talking mid-bite. The Pescador taco? Listen carefully. I love fish tacos. I order fish tacos everywhere. This fish taco just entered my Top 5 Foods I've Ever Eaten list. Not tacos. Foods. Period. Fresh, flavorful, perfectly balanced, and somehow light while still being packed with flavor. The Al Pastor was excellent. A little spicier than my personal preference, but I completely understand why it's one of their most popular tacos. The flavor was outstanding. And the Asada? Tender skirt steak, grilled onions, fresh cheese, queso fresco--everything working together exactly the way a great taco should. Here's what really surprised me: I don't eat salsa. Most tacos need salsa to elevate them. These didn't. I never once felt like I was missing anything. The ingredients were that fresh. Every bite tasted like it came straight from a garden instead of a delivery truck. The vegetables were vibrant, the herbs were bright, and the flavors tasted clean, intentional, and incredibly fresh. No shortcuts. No gimmicks. Just really, really good food. Urban Taco managed to do something that's hard to do: exceed the expectations of a border-town taco snob. So yes, I'm telling you to run, don't walk. I'm probably going to regret posting this because my future taco orders may take a little longer once everyone discovers this place, but Georgetown deserves to know. Fresh tortillas. Fresh ingredients. Knowledgeable staff. A chef who cares. And one of the best fish tacos I've ever eaten. Urban Taco, you've officially earned my #1 taco spot..2nd only to my mom.

Usually, I get the chicken and dumplings. I was celebrating getting a new job so, I got the ribeye. I ordered it medium rare. Unfortunately, the cut wasn't good. It was thin and had thick gristle, throughout. I assumed that I would need salt. I asked for flakey salt. The sweet waitress/bartender, brought me kosher salt in a nice container. The salt helped! However, the steak was too far gone to help. It was closer to medium and, again, the cut was bad. (Note: I didn't complain! I'm sure that if I would have, they would have done anything to correct it!) The positives? The green beans were AMAZING! Still a bit crispy and tasted great! The mashed potato's were good. I ordered an Old Fashioned. It was wonderful! The service couldn't have been better! I love the bar side of Wildfire! The seating can be private or meant for people watching. It's very comfortable! All in all, this is the place to go! The service is always amazing! I didn't enjoy the ribeye but, I'm a steak snob. Wildfire will always be my "go to" spot! Sit in the bar area and you will get the best service! Edit to say that the regular bartender is fantastic! He always has been!
