    FAJITAS MIXTAS
    Travis T.

    I lied to my Mexican wife and said the salsa here wasn't as good as her mom's. I'd be in trouble if I said it was better so you'll have to be the judge. Fajitas were super tasty and cooked to perfection - asada tender, chicken seasoned well and shrimp just right. The chips are great too. Fast and courteous service and good vibes with tunes flowing but not so loud you have to yell to talk. Everyone is nice too. Definitely will eat here again.

    Great breakfast burritos and weekly deals. The space itself is super cute and lively.

    I stopped by this DGO restaurant yesterday to grab lunch since I was staying at the hotel across the street. When I walked inside, they were not busy so they let me choose where I wanted to sit. I sat at a table right behind the bar so I could watch the television there. I went with the carne asada entree plate and was able to sub out the beans with fries. My food came out quick and it was delicious. The portion of the carne asada wasn't that much but the other sides helped fill me up. I asked for flour tortillas but got corn instead, I didn't mind but I think the waitress had trouble understanding. When I asked her if I could sub out the beans, she kept telling me it was fried until I told her no beans then she asked if I wanted something else instead. The inside of this restaurant is very nice at the bar or just regular dining. I would recommend this place.

    What a sweet location. Good view of the Boulevard and the stadium lol. This location touts their gorditas. I ordered both the chicken gordita and the flauta's. The flautas were just okay. The salsa's were delicious however. The Gordita was good (chicken) just wished it had pico de gallo or other toppings inside. The beens and rice were fine as well. We ordered the "pint" drunk special but honestly it was mostly ice and fruit juice. Just order the regular drinks. The service was good (tag team of two) but we waited a while for the check. It is a good spot if in the area. I would like to see if anything else is as authentic as the Gordita's.

    living in the area, we've always driven past but had never gone in. craving some tacos on a weekday night, we wanted somewhere walkable to take advantage of a marg (or 2). inside is so cute! clean, spacious with a good amount of homey decor. we were seated near some speakers which not going to lie, was loud AF but it was a vibe - next time we'll have to ask to sit a little farther. they give you chips and salsa, she convinced us to upgrade our margs to the 18oz which goddamn you get one of those and we were FEELIN them. I got 3 tacos and a side of rice and beans, fiancé got the birrira tacos. no complaints, portions were good and the salsas have a fantastic spice. servers were nice as a steady flow of customers came in. highly recommend! I'd imagine if there's anything at empower this place is poppin' but don't sleep on this lil corner restaurant! we can't wait to be back!

    DGO Cocina cantina was a good place to come to if in the mood for some Mexican. Tostada and their combo plates is the way to go. They are fairly new however our server Jackie did a great job in recommending great items off their menu. Their chips and dip was probably the only thing that we got that maybe needed some help other than that everything was good. Atmosphere here was very decked out in the culture. All in all great place with good tasting food. If ever in town feel free to stop on by I'm sure you won't leave disappointed.

    Happy hour menu

    DGO Cocina was a not a great experience. We were the only two people in the restaurant sitting at the bar. During this time the bartender was juicing limes with a loud machine that made it hard to even have a conversation. After asking if that was something they could stop or do elsewhere we were declined. Now to the food...the chips were old and stale, the al pastor tacos were good, the barbacoa tasted like a$$, and the asada was super salty. We didn't get to our entre of carnitas because after asking the manager if it was possible to get the bartender to juice limes elsewhere, he said no, so we cancelled the rest of our order and left. I should mention margaritas are $15+ ("happy hour" $9) more lime than booze. Sadly, we will not go back.

    Tonight my family and I enjoyed dinner and drinks out at DGO. The service was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our waitress went above and beyond to make our experience welcoming & she gave excellent food recommendations. The chips and salsa that come when you sit down are delicious. My favorite of the tacos was the pastor on flour tortilla with cheese. The music and decor was so pleasant, and it's a kid-friendly place. I think it'd be a nice restaurant to host a group as well. Highly recommend and hope this neighborhood spot thrives!

    We live close by and today was our first time being in since they opened a few months ago. Food, drinks, and service were great! We sat at the bar, Daniela was bartending. I had the barbacoa quesadilla, and my bf had 3 tacos and a side of beans. The food and drinks were very fresh and so delicious. I think we have found our new spot!

This is the Michelin restaurant that you go to if you like a more casual / less stuffy experience. Food: 4 Every dish that we ordered was delicious, but slightly on the heavy side without anything light/acidic to break it up. Perhaps it's because of what we chose to order though! Frijoles Puerco: This was a play on refried beans and chorizo. The chorizo has a little kick to it. The sourdough tortillas were delicious and served fresh and warm. Callo De Hacha Al Horno: The scallops were a flavor bomb served in a serrano ponzu and tomato butter. I'm unsure why the scallops were cut into smaller pieces instead of left whole... Enmoladas De Pollo: This was essentially chicken enchiladas cooked in mole so I was skeptical if I would find this dish worthwhile. They proved me wrong as this was one of the best dishes of the night. The mole was flavorful, not too heavy, and the chicken enchilada was so well cooked. Birria De Borrego: The lamb shank was cooked until it was fork tender. After taking it apart, wrap it in a fresh and warm tortilla with refried corn beans and salsa. The lamb was well cooked and made for a good balanced bite, but it did feel special. Service: 5 We set at the chef table and was able to watch as they finished and plated each dish. The chef was attentive without being overbearing/annoying and we had a good conversation with him. Food came out at a good pace. Ambiance: 5 The restaurant is small and cozy. It didn't feel stifling or pretentious as other fine dining restaurants can sometimes feel. This would be perfect for a date or dinner with friends.

Looking at taco places, I went with something close by to our location and found this hidden gem. Nestled away on a small street corner of Clay Street and 32nd Ave. parking can be scarce, but I'm sure with the right time and a little bit of walking you will find and manage your way here. Outside the restaurant, they have a small seating area which now is winter too cold to enjoy, but I'm sure in the spring and summer and fall time is super enjoyable. The inside, though a little bit tiny and no cozier than going to your mom's house and expecting a family Filled living room/Kitchen. We went down and greeted by three smiling faces. We already looked at the photos online and knew we want tacos so opted with the chicken tacos and Carne Asada taco plates. The tacos place option came with 5 tacos with up to 2 choices of meats the ratio would be 2:3 .. freshly mashed guacamole made in front of you or freshly sliced avocado.. In the pictures I listed you will find each chicken and Carne Asada options. Both slow pictures missing two tacos because we devoured them as soon as we got into the truck. Their street tacos are heavenly! Chicken option was all chicken breast super juicy grilled to perfection five tacos on a plate another two tacos missing because my husband and I devoured it. This plate came we asked it with the guacamole option instead of fresh avocado. The carne asada was just FULL of flavor and the fresh avocado slices with green tomatillo salsa SLAPPED.. the tortillas are super soft and tears from how fresh the flour tortillas were!! Definitely a place to sit and eat there to enjoy the hot food. I'm originally from SoCal and a heavily populated Latinos with amazing tacos and food.. Taqueria La Familia passed the bar high!!

I was vaguely familiar with Chef Richard Sandoval due to his brief appearance on Top Chef, but didn't know too much about his cuisine. The brunch has a really fun and original idea in that you can order bottomless small plates for $42 per person or bottomless food and drinks for $59 in person, with a two-hour limit.

I ordered the chicken tinga enchiladas, while my friend ordered the fish tacos. We shared all of the food. The ceviche was excellent, flavorful and fresh. I enjoyed the enchiladas. The portion was generous. I wasn't too fond of the tacos. There was nothing wrong with them, aside from the fact that I don't like breaded fish, but they just didn't have a ton of flavor. I will say service started strong, but then fell off a bit. Our server and food runner were friendly, but it was hard to get extra utensils when we needed them.
