    Quesabirrias
    Andrew H.

    Arrived with family on rainy weekend. Service was great and the Quesabirria tacos were a filling dish. Yummy red salsa accompanied the chips. I also enjoyed the Watermelon Margaritas. A casual restaurant that I'd check out again if I was in the area.

    Eating inside will get better results and the rest of the menu is good and most of staff is nice.

    Delicious salsa. Outstanding service. Nice music, clean bathrooms. Delicious food. Great ambience. Will definitely be back.

    Gallo Wrap in a bowl, so good!

    Favorite Mexican food in Sonoma County, we fly home every year to eat here! Love what they've been updating with this place, its so cozy and we always sit in the bar for the ambiance. Get the ceviche! Tacos are always a hit, too

    Carnitas plate
    Luciente G.

    We have come here many times, their mole and margaritas keep me coming back. This time I tried new things though!! I had the morenita cocktail and it was yummy. I added a splash of water to cut the sweetness. I had the carnitas plate and it was just right, just bummed that I was charged $1 for some lime, which I feel should have come with the dish. It was a substantial serving and I had carnitas left over. My friend only ate half of her grilled veggie burrito so I put my carnitas in her burrito for lunch the next day. Hubs had the Gallo wrap and he was very happy with it. Moist and flavorful. We sat in the bar and they had the world series on. I didn't care for the teams, but hubs is a Yankee fan so he was stoked. I was stoked the game was on mute and they had great music bumping. Best way to watch a game if you ask me. No doubt, we will be back.

    I've been here a couple times now, most recently with my in-laws for my MIL's birthday. I recommended it, and everyone had a good time and loved their food. Staff was very friendly and professional. Food was fresh ad delicious. Burritos were huge. Everything was big portions and I was impressed with the way the guacamole came to the table looking really beautiful and artistic with veggies poking out like a big flower. It was super cold so we ate indoors, but the first time I was here with my mom, we ate outside on the patio and I highly recommend that if the weather is good and/or you dress for outdoor dining. We didn't have room for dessert, but next time I want to try their churros. Highly recommended.

    Tres amigos , cucumber lime and jalapeno margaritas

    Food is delicious, drinks are beautiful, service is great but drink prices are astronomical and they are getting a little skimpy with the meat. Everything is still tasty but you can definitely tell some corners are being cut. I also think no margarita on the rocks should cost $18. However the salsa and chips are so fresh and light! They have a great outdoor area with heaters and a lovely bar too. A little something for everyone. Definitely can accommodate larger groups too!

    Nachos are amazing and plenty to share. I had barbacoa and my friend had carnitas! Both were excellent! Had to take half home.

Our server Brian was thoroughly knowledgeable about the food and preparation of every dish, while being personable and friendly throughout the entire meal. I was wildly impressed with the efficiency of the kitchen getting food out as well. We had the guava cucumber mocktails which were refreshing and crisp, as well and ginger beer and it was great! The brisket tacos were cooked to perfection and the puree at the bottom of the taco is such a great suprise! My husband got the bahn mo special and I of course stole a bite or two. It was so fresh and falvorful. The fries were tossed in soy sauce syrup and green onions and were mind blowingly good. The entire staff was warm and pleasant. The young staff even made eye contact and engaged with us! haha We will absolutely be back to try the rest of the options they have to offer.

Our group shared everything and I liked them most in the following order: - Macha fries (not like the tea! More like nacho fries) - Short rib tacos - Burger - Crab salad - Chicken tendies They have an enticing list of cocktails. I don't normally drink cocktails but I had the guava paloma which was excellent. We sat in the patio garden with the heat lamps fired up, and it was wonderful. Great service.

Even though it didn't seem busy. When the fries were brought out the waitress didn't bring napkins or utensils. The utensils I could care less for but eating finger food without having a napkin isn't what I like to do. She left before I realized we didn't have utensils. It was about 5 minutes before another waiter at another table came close enough for me to ask for utensils. The ambiance is always great here. It can be packed and you can still have a conversation with someone. The decor is cigar room classy. Still one of my favorite spots.

Our most recent trip was a few weeks ago. They were great to let us get orders in with minutes left before 5. My sister pre-ordered a cocktail that would be served after 5 and they honored the HH price discount but our refill drinks were full price, so plan ahead! Our total with drinks (6), mussels and fries, flatbread, asparagus salad, tuna tartare was $180 for the 3 of us. Felt pricey, but I guess it's not surprising considering where we were. Drinks were delicious! Service was great overall, no hovering but attentive enough to not feel forgotten.

The bracelet limits each person to a max 3 pours of the Younger, and 3 bottle purchase. Got seated about 10:40 , but the wait flew by helped by the almost festival atmosphere amongst those in line(bonded and chatted with 3 guys next to us who had flown up from LA area just for this) 1st, every employee I encountered was friendly and service was top notch. Started with a taster of Russian River 110 and Tempo Change, both were nice, light, but not the reason I came 2+ hours on drive + another 2 in line. The Pliney Younger was as advertised, tasting and drinking lighter than its Triple IPA packing power . Orders some Riccotta donut holes to help ease the consumption of the 3 IPA's and they were fantastic, dense dobut, not overly sweet so the chocolate dipping sauce was a nice touch. Ordered 3 bottles of Younger to go, and am already planning next years trip.
