We ordered the Drunken Flamed Fajitas ($36) which sounded like a dream on paper, including onions, peppers, rice, beans, pico and sour cream (only came with 3 tortillas). Everything looked good but it was sooooo spicy. We requested it without jalapeños and it was still spicy, all of it! The steak was extremely chewy and the chicken was burnt, dry and hard. The worst part about our experience was the extra charges. Without telling us, they charged an additional $6 for us and another $6 for my parents who asked for additional tortillas with their fajitas. For $36, you'd think this should come with more than 3 tortillas. The $6 "plate" included 3 tortillas and a very tiny amount of rice and beans and sour cream, which I didn't really want. When we asked the manager about the charge that was never communicated, she looked at the table and said "since you ate majority of the side plate, we need to charge you for it". $42 for Fajitas? I feel like the manager was arguing with us at the table, so unprofessional. We will not be back.

We came in with a larger group recently, which gave us a chance to sample a little bit of everything. Across the board, the food was excellent--the quesadillas, chicken tortilla soup, fajitas, and tacos were all hits. And, of course, you can't go wrong with their margaritas! The only real downside lately has been the table service, which has felt a bit lacking. If you want the best experience, my pro-tip is to skip the dining room tables and sit at the bar.

This is my second time here and both times have been so good. We came as a party of 3 and left so happy and full. I love Mexican food holy moly We got the queso and octopus shrimp ceviche as starters. The queso was 3 cheeses: American, cotija, and Oaxacan. They heated it up under a salamander so it was nice and crispy on top, while being gooey all throughout. Also came with a couple of nice salsas. The ceviche was not my favorite because I don't prefer raw(ish) octopus, but the squid ink sauce was very flavorful. For our mains the 3 of us shared the red snapper, tuetano with lamb, and the mixteco poblano pepper. Red snapper had a nice charred smoky flavor from being grilled. Was more meaty than flaky in texture. It was our second time getting the mixteco poblano pepper and it hits. Highly recommend eating with some of the salsa as well if you get queso. The duck carnitas in it wasn't particularly duck-y today, but still very good. Best dish is definitely the tuetano. The bone marrow is so incredibly flavorful with the blue corn tortillas. Add some of the pickled onions and it's hard to go wrong with that flavor combo of salt, fat, and acid. if you're going to order one thing, I'd order this and share with a friend and tbh it's enough to be filling. For dessert we got the volcan de chocolate (basically lava cake). The lava cake and coconut ice cream combo is fantastic. You get bits of coconut flakes as you eat! Fair warning it isn't the brownie texture you may be used to, it's a bit more cakey. Amazing service the whole night! Almost got our cars booted because we forgot to validate until 1.5 hours in but luckily we were fine. The staff let us know they have been booting cars though so be wary!

A huge shout-out to our server, Oscar, who made the entire experience even better. He was attentive, personable, knowledgeable about the menu, and provided the kind of service that keeps you coming back. The ambiance deserves just as much praise. The music, décor, and overall atmosphere created a sophisticated, grown-and-sexy vibe that made it perfect for a relaxed date lunch. It's one of those places where you can enjoy amazing food, great cocktails, and simply take your time. Casi Cielo has definitely earned a spot on our list of favorite restaurants.

Jeez, I'd love to take my girlfriend here to taste the goodness that is Catrina's. Since I work in this area, I've come here a few times to pick up lunch. Since I'm a creature of habit I usually always get the 3 enchiladas with rice and beans. Man, oh man do they give you a lot of food. I usually end up taking some home to eat the next day and they even taste better then. I usually pick up so I've only been inside to get my food. The place is kind of small, but they have a patio in the front and I would imagine that it would be nice to sit on during the spring and summer. If you're in the area and want something better than Tex-Mex give this place a try. read more

Today we were in the area and I finally decided to check it out. The parking lot is shared with other businesses. I was worried they would be busy with it being Saturday. We were one of two families in the building. The menu consists of three different categories: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. I knew what I had come for but the menu was extensive. I was really thinking hard. I decided to grab a tamale preparado. I wanted the rajas but they ran out. The presentation was great tho! I loved the salsa bar. I enjoyed one of the spicer ones with the onions that were soaked in chili de arbol. I finally received my main course! It looked amazing. I order 6 things and paid $38. Very affordable, especially in these economic times. My enchiladas were a 10/10. I ordered the bistec as the pairing. I can't stress how good this meal was. FINAL VERDICT: this place is extremely laid back and reminded me of what being in Mexico feels like. From the table set up to the way the food is presented, it fits the part. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers authentic Mexican food and different items than your typical Mexican restaurant would, look no further. I will definitely be back!
