This is one of the most beautiful Mexican restaurants I've been to. The food was amazing and service was like being home. Thank you for making mi Abuelas birthday so special. Menudo was homemade and she raved about the flavor for days!! My ceviche was better than I could ever make at home. We will be back!

Went here because my sister loves Mexican food and it was her birthday. They did a great job with the decorations. The walls and even the tables are covered with Mexican art. There was also Spanish music playing. It's a long wait for the food to be prepared, so the chips and salsa were appreciated. When our server noticed that our chips and my sister's water were gone, she was quick to refill them. When the food came out, the portions were impressively big, big enough for us to have leftovers to take home. I thought my burrito tasted salty when I took the first bite. I thought I might be imagining it, but when I ate the leftovers later I thought the same thing. Maybe because it was so cheesy? So if you're watching your sodium, this might not be so great. At the same time, it wasn't spicy, so I'm glad they had 2 different hot sauces and a shaker of red peppers available on the table so you can adjust the spiciness. I ordered the vegetarian burrito, but it was more bean and cheese than veggies and definitely not vegan. There was a tiny bit of greens put to one side outside of the burrito. So I liked the atmosphere and the portions, not so much the saltiness of my burrito that I also wish had more greens.

Are you open on Mondays? The hours on Yelp says you do but I've been calling and no answer

When I was there a couple of weeks ago, they were understaffed. The phone kept ringing, the employees were focused on their customers. Not sure if there open.

Happy Hour is advertised on the building 3-6pm. What are the deals offered during this time? Taco Tuesday is also advertised. What is the pricing for tacos on Tuesday? Which types?

2-5 is the happy hour and it's mini tacos for $1.75

Do they sell fritangas?

No I'm sorry we do not.

This is my second time here. First time, the experience was ok. Food and drinks were mid so when…read moreour friends wanted to come here for lunch, we were already hesitant but decided to come back to check it out again before posting a review. Came here with friends during lunch hour & got some items from the "lunch deals" section. For the lunch deals, we got the 2 chicken tacos, which comes with chips & salsa. There was a decent amount of chips and salsa and the tacos were a good size & had good flavors. 8/10 for the chicken tacos. My friend got the traditional wings (6 piece) lunch deal which comes with a side of fries & celery. The sizes of the wings look decent & she enjoyed the meal. Our party also got the steak tacos & steak nachos. This time, there was a decent amount of steak on the nachos and it paired perfectly with everything. The first time we came here and we got the nachos during our last visit, there was barely any steak on the nachos so I'm glad they corrected it and making it better. 8/10 for the nachos. Drinks: my group mainly got beer so they were all good & happy with it. I wanted a margarita flight and well, that was pretty disappointing. It was supposed to be 4 different flavors/drinks with tequila. But where was the tequila? I felt that they should've been upfront with it on the menu and called it a mocktail or something because when we didn't taste any tequila in it, we asked the waitress & she mentioned to us that there is only 1 shot of tequila for the whole flight...like what?! That flight cost $20 so you're telling me I'm basically buying $20 worth of juice since the tequila is non-existent?! That was truly disappointing to hear & even the waitress said she would never recommend the flight because of it and it wasn't fun to make. So do better Brass Tap, either add more tequila to your flight to make it actually worth $20 or just remove it all together from your menu. Deceiving & a total waste. 0/10 for the flight. Thankfully the waitress removed it from our bill without issue & got me the watermelon margarita to replace it. Much better and you can taste some tequila in it (not much but a lot more than what was sprinkled onto the flight). 6/10 for the watermelon drink. Overall the service is decent and the space is decent for small groups. There's seating at the bar area and tables inside and outside. Decor was typical for these type of place. Plenty of parking as well. Will I be back? Maybe if drinks are better.

We went to Rodeo X Public Market on a Friday night and had a great time overall. The DJ was awesome…read moreand really set the vibe for the night. Brew Haven is definitely the place to be -- they have a wide variety of beers, and for non-beer drinkers, the fact that they carry Budweiser options is a big plus.The girls behind the bar at Brew Haven were really nice and accommodating, great at recommending drinks, and overall provided excellent customer service, which honestly made the experience even better. The only downside was the limited food options. Inside the market, there were really only two choices: a chicken spot and a pizza place. We went with the pizza, and the pizza itself was really good. Unfortunately, the wings were extremely disappointing -- way overcooked and over-seasoned. Pro tip: there's a Wingstop literally right outside in the same parking lot. I'd recommend grabbing pizza inside and walking over to Wingstop if you're craving wings. Parking was very easy, and overall it was a fun night with great drinks, great music, and good vibes. I'd definitely come back -- just hoping to see more food options in the future.

Outstanding Service!…read more I had such a fantastic experience at this brewery thanks to Cisco who was truly exceptional. From the moment ordered- he was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about every beer on the menu. Their passion for the craft really showed--they offered thoughtful recommendations, explained flavor profiles in a way that made choosing fun, and even shared insights about the brewing process that added so much to the experience. It's rare to find someone who can balance professionalism, personality, and expertise so effortlessly. His service elevated our visit from good to unforgettable. We left not only loving the beer, but appreciating the care and enthusiasm behind it. If you're visiting, definitely hope you get the chance to be served by Cisco.He is true asset to the brewery and a big reason we'll be coming back and we will be sharing our experience with our fave neighbors or better yet to our community at New Haven!

Okay Derby Room! I was very impressed that they allowed me to bring my dogs in here and allowed…read morethem inside if I kept them under the table where they were for the duration of my visit here. The food here wasn't bad. Not the best place to get pho but they do give you a very big serving of it. This place is bar food mixed with an American food and an Asian flare which is really weird but hey it works! And I dig it! The service started off good but then it tailored off and you didn't know who was serving you because at one point we just flagged anyone down for another drink. And the servers got super busy so it was a hit of a wait. I would really have like to give them a 4 1/2 star if I could. It's just the service was really good and then boom it changed. But all in all I would definitely be back.

My family and I spent the day walking around Lake Perris and decided to stop by The Derby Room afterward. First and foremost, Tabitha was an AMAZING server. Despite being completely overwhelmed and handling more than seven tables on her own -- while also bussing tables -- she still managed to provide excellent service and made sure our food arrived in a timely manner. She truly did the best she could under the circumstances, and it did not go unnoticed. The reason for the 3-star rating is primarily due to the establishment being severely understaffed during our visit. In addition, the overall presentation and cleanliness of the venue appeared neglected, likely from the UFC fight night event held the evening prior. I do want to give credit where it's due though -- Tabitha remained professional, attentive, and hardworking throughout the entire experience. The food was very delicious which my children could attest to! Thank you!
