    I stopped in for lunch. I'd had Cactus flower before in Pace and loved it. This time I got two beef tacos with black beans and rice. I would say it was a just okay. Nothing yelled you need to come back! The service was great at first, but after the food arrived I was forgotten. I had to ask another server for my bill. I was never offered a refill until I was signing the bill. I did enjoy the chips and salsa!

    Entrees are still as great as I remember but: they sat us on the Togo side-this was awful. Queso was weird. Service was slow.

    First off let me say this was a very busy night as we went right before new years. When we arrived as a party of 8 we were quoted a 20min wait time. We waited 30 min before our table was ready. Now that isn't a large difference but a place that "appears classy" should know that if the wait is longer than what is quoted they should come check on the guests/offer appetizers/apologizes. After sitting it was 10min before our server came and got our order then took 45 min for our food to come out! This restaurant looks very nice and upscale and the servers were friendly but everything was very slow. There were multiple door dash drivers and order pick ups who waited PROLONGED periods of time for their food. When I went to the restroom the other half of the restaurant was half empty. They could have been playing catch up but that just isn't a great look. A few locals said this is very abnormal and they are usually quick but that just wasn't my experience. Again, with long waits and less than par attention I myself would've offered appetizers on the house. On to the food - everything was quite yummy and fresh. It was actually a pleasant surprise that the "California twist" didn't completely negate the tradition Mexican cuisine. I'm from south Texas where Mexican food is done fairly traditionally so Mexican food with a twist is usually not my favorite. I would definitely give this place an another try and I think you should to!

    Good spot for lunch with friends and the food was tasty. One of the friends I went with is a microbiologist and they pointed out that the plates had a lot of cracks and such in them, which can be carriers for high colony bacteria counts apparently unless sanitized extremely well so I guess they just need to replace some of the plates! Will visit sometime again in the next year or two!

    Garden & Grain - Wedding Reception Dance Floor (right outside of the grain house)

    We held my daughter's wedding reception there. Jayden, the events coordinator was so easy to work…read morewith. She and her staff were with us each step of the way. Kaley, the bartender worked well with all our guests, including the kids and non-alcohol drinkers. They loved her mocktails! Definitely recommend this venue!

    Where do I even begin?…read more We had our wedding at Garden & Grain this weekend and it was absolutely flawless. I have to start with the most important parts of our day which were Cara & Jadyn, our event coordinators and Nick & Jesse, our bartenders. Cara and Jadyn were literal earth-movers and magic makers. These two helped us get everything decorated and torn down with absolute ease (and we had an awful lot of decor we brought in.) By the time we moved into the ceremony, Jadyn was everywhere ensuring we started when we were ready, the guests were ready for us to enter, and just made us feel so at ease. We heard from so many guests that they didn't even realize the chairs got moved from the garden into the grainhouse between because it was so fast and flawlessly executed. These folks were so stealthy bringing 75 chairs between different spaces. Bravo. Our caterer was just arriving as we were about the walk the aisle. We had no idea the chaos that was ensuing behind the scenes that Jadyn and the team worked out as quickly as possible and without our guests even recognizing there was a delay in the start time of the food service. Obviously catering is a huge part of the day, and it would have been so stressful had we realized they were 30+ minutes behind. The execution of our wedding could not have happened flat out without these two wonderful people. We are so grateful for you both, Cara and Jadyn. You deserve all the praise in the world and are absolutely amazing event coordinators. Oh, and Jadyn, thanks for never letting us have a drink less than half full - your impeccable attention to detail is what every event coordinator should strive for. Now, the other critical aspect to a wedding is bar service. Nick and Jesse had those drinks flowing non stop all night. There was never a guest waiting in line or without a drink from before the ceremony to last moments. Our guests were complimenting all night on how amazing the bar service was. We are a family with one side from New Orleans, we know how to party and going into it with 2 bartenders for 75 people who know how to have a good time was an anxiety for us, but there was not a single mishap in the bar service and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our guests or us. Not to mention, every time I looked at Nick or Jesse, they were both smiling and so happy to be there with us - it meant a lot to feel like your vendors were a part of your wedding. The space lent itself so naturally to our ceremony and reception. It was beautiful, cozy, clean, and just 100% our vibe. Our guests also complimented all night on what a cool venue we had. If you're thinking about booking an event, particularly a wedding here, don't hesitate. There's not a dang thing I would change about Garden & Grain, Perfect Plain and the people they had assisting us and our guests throughout the event. Being able to look back and see how smoothly things ran is every Bride's dream, and without a doubt you will have the same experience that we did here. Thank you G & G/Perfect Plain/Perennial Hospitality for the amazing experience on our wedding date. You have no idea what this meant to us. It means even more to feel that you guys actually enjoyed being there with us. Pat yourselves on the back and know that you are shining examples of what a wedding venue is supposed to operate like. Cheers to you guys, thank you once again for everything!

    Lupita's Mexican Kitchen - Biri Biri Tacos and Steak Burrito

    Lupita's Mexican Kitchen

    I am not sure if there was another place near by called Lupita's fast food or if this is the same…read moreplace, but it seems like reviewers have got them confused. One review said they had the "best queso ever" at Lupitas Mexican Kitchen, but they apparently do not sell queso. So that was the first let down. The price of the 4 birria tacos was impressive, they were pretty good, just not amazing. The chicken quesadilla didn't really have any cheese, literally the chicken just fell out because there was nothing to hold it together. The steak burritos were decent, but again nothing to rave about. It did the trick, but I won't be back.

    Lupita's Mexican Kitchen is just another great example of my long-held belief that the best Mexican…read morefood does not come from high-end or fancy restaurants that just drip with hipster ambiance, but rather I have always found that the best Mexican food comes from these humble little mom-and-pop places that are inexpensively furnished, but the staff is usually smiling and the food is often indicative of how truly amazing that Mexican food can be. Lupita's Mexican Kitchen has a pretty straightforward menu and I had it narrowed down to either a burrito or the birria tacos and I asked the smiling young lady behind the counter which of the two I should go with. After a momentary pause, she pointed to the birria tacos sign. I paid for my order and found a seat. In a few moments, the smiling girl called out to me and handed me my food. The plate consisted of four birria tacos, a cup of consome (it appears that is the correct spelling for this. I thought it would be spelled like the traditional consomme) and a few small containers of both a spicy red sauce and a creamy green sauce. The price point was thirteen dollars. Quite a good price for the quality and quantity of the food they provided. These birria tacos were very good. I tore into them with quite some gusto. Mexican food is truly a culinary gift. I would have to say that Mexican is one of my favorite cuisines and it is because of these wonderfully humble little mom-and-pop establishments like Lupita's Mexican Kitchen. If you find yourself in Pensacola, Florida and craving Mexican food, Lupita's Mexican Kitchen is a great place to head for. Overall, I would definitely recommend Lupita's Mexican Kitchen and I will give it five stars overall.
