    MASA  & GUAC

    You will need a reservation but we still had to wait for about 20min. I think they over booked. They also where slow in seating people. We saw tables ready for seating but they stayed empty for 5-10minutes. Food was excellent, no question. But overall Service was also very slow. We spent 2 hours 30minutes in there. The place was packed and it was very very noisy.

    The food was delicious and the service was top notch! We got there early and the place filled up quick. It is a casual, fun restaurant with good drinks and good food. It was a bit dark in there and the noise level picked up a bit, nothing I would complain about! Definitely hoping to return.

    Went back for an early dinner to have our faves recently and they were as delicious as ever. Lamb barbacoa tacos & tuna tostadas - yum! Weird service experience seemed like a one off (at least I hope so!) I felt pretty rushed although the place was pretty calm (as in collecting plates while I'm holding and eating a taco + asking to bring the check while I'm mid-chew). We were in and out in 30 minutes, for better or worse!

    2nd time eating at Colita, with my wife on Valentine's Day. We shared four items. The Grilled Caesar was excellent and with a delicious flavor. The Roasted Sweet Potato was our favorite, with a rich remoulade greatly enhancing the potatos. I had the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, which I liked, and my wife had the Cauliflower Tostadas which she also liked. The entire menu is full of choices that appeal to us so we look forward to a return visit.

    Love this place! I went with my bestie to celebrate her law school graduation. I love the plant wall behind the bar and the big open windows. It was pretty busy so make a reservation, but I feel that they served us promptly. Also -- best taco I have ever had. I will definitely be coming back!

    Churros and chicken tostadas are a must. The shrimp tostadas are good but could have used a little more flavor. The plate you eat the churros on is not flat and we all kept tipping the plate to one side while cutting the churro. We would get the wagyu beef skewer again. Ambiance is simple but enjoyable.

    Colita is the restaurant you recommend when you want to impress someone without making it obvious. Bold flavors, stunning cocktails, and a vibe that feels like a mini‑vacation. It's the place you go when you want dinner to feel like an experience, not an errand. Service 5

    CORN ELOTE
    Yasiri N.

    I've been to Colita one other time with some friends and left wanting more! I visited again and tried a variety of appetizers and dishes. The elote is great! Has a chipotle flavor but not spicy or overpowering. Very tasty and has a fresh feeling while eating. I would recommend if you've never tried Mexican corn, you'll like it! The masa and chips were really good! They give you the guacamole and 2 other dipping salsas, all were great. The color of the guacamole was beautiful! The shrimp tacos were great! I've had them before and wanted to try them again, did not disappoint. Seared scallops were my favorite, I will admit I do not like sea food and prefer to not eat it but I was very glad I pushed myself to try and enjoy this dish! If you're looking to try something new, with great service, wonderful staff, awesome ambiance then give Colita a try!

    Naked Dani - way too much ice
    Kathleen K.

    Every year we try a new (to us) restaurant for my daughter's birthday. This year we decided to meet halfway and a 5pm reservation was perfect. The parking lot is small but plenty of room when they open. Upon arrival we were pleasantly greeted and seated. Our server promptly arrived for drink orders and we both opted for the Naked Dani. Amazing drink with salt foam on top and a mini rubber ducky. But we agreed we would never order it again as the glass was totally filled with mini ice pellets and there was very little liquid. At $17 per drink it was a waste of money. Plates are in 2 portions or meant for sharing. The Tuna Tostada had amazing flavor. Then the Cacio E Pepe Tostada was also excellent. They were so good that when they Shrimp Tacos arrived we thought they were so-so. But just in comparison to the previous dishes. The Lamb Barbacoa Tacos were back to amazing and we really liked the seared scallops. For dessert we had the churros and they were very good. FYI - they don't do anything special for birthdays. I expected at least some gesture since our dinner was almost $200. Service was great and most of the food was amazing. It is a splurge.

    Colita had been on my list for years- and it was so worth the wait. I love how fresh and seasonal everything was. I'm a HUGE fan of tapas because it allowed me to try SO MANY things. The Patio and the indoor areas are sleek but still cozy, and the staff clearly knows what they are doing!!

    Had a girls dinner at Colita as I've been dying to check them out for months! Made a reservation for 5:30pm on a Friday as I've heard they get very busy. They have a small parking lot, but was able to find street parking just fine since it was full. My first impression of Colita is how aesthetically pleasing it is. Its greenery, bright windows, and cozy atmosphere really set the tone for the evening. Our server was so kind and friendly upon arriving as well. We started with the smoked caesar and margaritas to start. Such a great choice! The tacos were quite tasty and I thoroughly enjoyed the handmade tortillas. If you're really hungry, I recommend ordering multiple plates as the serving sizes are smaller. But very good flavor and pairings for the taco choices. Would definitely return to try out other menu items and enjoy the ambiance.

    I've been to Colita a handful of times and I've never been disappointed! This is consistently a spot I take people wanting a stellar experience. Street parking is your best option but they do have a small lot if you're lucky! From the second you walk in, you are transported to a calm, cozy, resort-like setting. The live plant wall behind the bar and the twinkling candles in the wall alcoves make this one of the best interiors in the Cities! I'd highly recommend a reservation to ensure a timely seating! Service is always quick and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a stunning experience. The food and cocktails are some of the best in the City! It's sometimes hard to tell what a cocktail is based on the menu so I always engage the server in a conversation to make sure I land on one I love! The food is elevated Mexican, served in small plates. I'd definitely recommend 3-5 plates for a couple! My favorite items from our most recent trip were the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos and the Elote! Top notch spot for special occasions!!

    Happy we found Colita! While searching for a gluten free Mexican restaurant we came across this gem. Beautifully decorated, though a bit dark during a winter dinner, the dining area has a nice upscale feel to it. Service was excellent and informative. We started with the crispy Masa chips which had some of the best Guacamole ever and don't sleep on the hummus or the salsa because they were phenomenal. Next I had the Aguachile which was fresh, bright and bursting with citrus flavor. Finally we had the roasted sweet potatoes, the chicken Tinga Tostadas and the pork Chilorio tacos. Tinga was our favorite with more of those beautiful Masa tostados but all three dishes were excellent. Finally wrapped things up with the Churros. I typically don't like Churros as they always leave a greasy coating in my mouth but these were by far the best I've ever had and didn't feel overly greasy. We will certainly be back.

    Do the churros have eggs in them?

    There is egg in the dulce churros.

    How does the counter style dining work during covid?

    We went before the no congregating at the bar mandate so it may have changed. You sit down but you have to go to the bar to order your food. Then the waitstaff bring it to you. If you want more water they will get it for you.

    Please go here as the food, service, and atmosphere is great…read more FYI there is a lot of parking behind the building but you can also do street parking. I usually recommend a reservation for Pink Ivy as during dinner rush it always seems full. I have had so many great meals here. I am usually a meat and potatoes kind of person but the salmon here is great. Also as much as I dislike vegetables they actually have ones I order. As much as the food is always been great. The staff has also been wonderful. They are knowledgeable and friendly and really make a difference. Atmosphere can change from time to time. As busy restaurants nights are always going to have that buzz but in a good way. As the busy night calms into late evening there is this different nice smooth feeling that comes over the place.

I somehow showed up wearing green without even planning it, so I accidentally matched the vibe which made it even better. The atmosphere overall feels clean, modern, and relaxed without being over the top. It works really well for a casual lunch or a low-key date where you still want something a little nicer. We tried a few different things, and everything was well done. The burger was juicy with a good melt on the cheese and a soft bun that held together nicely. Simple, but done right. The side salad was fresh and actually had flavor instead of just being there. The meatballs were a standout--really tender and covered in a rich, creamy sauce that made the dish feel more elevated. The mussels were also great, and the broth was flavorful enough that dipping the grilled bread in it was a must. Nothing felt like a miss, and everything had a little extra attention to detail. Also our server was very nice and kind I liked her. Overall, I'd come back. It's not super fancy, but it feels like a step up from your usual spots and is a great option if you want something cute, relaxed, and still really solid.

    George & The Dragon is a super cool restaurant that my hubby and I tried for a double date night…read morewith our friends. We came on a Monday night at 6:15pm. This place does get busy so definitely keep that in mind. Luckily I made reservations ahead of time so we had a table waiting for us, otherwise we would have been put on a waiting list since it's a small space. They put us in a corner booth which was nice and spacious enough for 4 people so I'd definitely recommend asking for a booth verse a table if you're planning to come with a larger group. The servers are all very friendly and helpful. I appreciated their attentiveness and sharing what they like best, especially for what's in season based on the time of year. The menu has quite a bit of variety too which is sometimes unexpected when you come to a pub-style location. For appetizers we got Onion Ring and Fried Pickles. They were both really good and served with dipping sauces. Definitely both shareable items so if you're in a group they'd be great options! My entree I chose the Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon served with lemon soy marinade, creamy cucumbers, and jasmine rice -- it was SO good!! I loved the creaminess of the cucumbers especially with the rice and than the lemon soy marinade was just a unique touch to the salmon. Toned the flavors down without overpowering acidity. And the salmon was so dreamy, a beautiful pink color that you just knew it wasn't a farm raised salmon. Plus the portion was very generous!! I'd definitely recommend the Alaskan Sockeye Salmon to anyone interested in visiting here. #eatwildsavewild The only negatives (which are more so just knowledge bombs for you): * Restaurant is VERY loud. It's hard to hear because it is one small room that everyone plus the bar is in. I wished I would have took a picture to show what I mean. Just know that if it's an intimate setting you're looking for this is not the place. So be prepared to talk loudly over the loudness and ask "excuse me?" or "repeat that" many times throughout your visit because you're not going to hear everything. * Timed eating. Because this place is a hit with limited seating, once you get a table and complete your meal/payment you'll kindly be asked to leave so that they can clean up and open the table to next in line. Totally get that and am not put off by this at all, but I could see how it could catch some folks off guard especially if you are out for a meal with folks you may not see frequently-- so just keep that in mind. This is not the place to sit and talk post meal. * Parking is limited. Be prepared to walk a few blocks as the road parking in front of the business is pretty limited especially with the other stores and restaurants in the area. Regardless of those few bullets I highly recommend folks visit George & The Dragon. It's a really cool spot and the food was great! Plus theirs a malt shop right next door that looks yummy too, so definitely worth visiting and getting malts after for dessert.

Heck, the people in your party don't have to play in order either! So if someone is in the bathroom, just keep going! Everyone is assigned a ball and the ball keeps track of your score!
