    Cheese Enchiladas Plate
    Elisa M.

    Came here to have lunch with my little brother and his family. Kept things really simple, a glass of water (he let me know that sodas are served in the can and therefore no refills) as the tea isnt sweet but they offer sugar for you to sweeten (real southerners know better) and the enchilada plate. We were offered chips and salsa as well as we waited for our food. I will say I'm picky when it comes to rice and beans but I really enjoyed them here. The enchiladas were simple but flavorful. Overall had a nice lunch & I would come back again.

    We were craving Mexican food so we came across this place, barbacoa is my go to meat choice and luckily we happen to come on a Sunday cause that's the only day they serve it. I got the barbacoa "burrito" I thought it was going to be a wrapped burrito but it was more like a taco. Tasted amazing! The flour tortilla was so soft and pillowy you can def tell it's homemade. The barbacoa was juicy and flavorful. I'd recommend getting the salsa verde, it's spicy and adds more flavor!

    Some really good Tex mex. Brought my parents as they were in town for the weekend. My mom got the cheese enchiladas like she does everywhere but she ate more than I've ever seen. I got the Cancun and every bite was good. Really love their refried beans and probably the best I've had. Nothing special about the frozen margarita though. Oh and the homemade tortillas are fantastic. So fluffy and delicious you can tell they are made the right way. First time at the new location and it was so pretty inside. Had a little wait for a table but we were able to go to the bar to get drinks which was nice. And the service was quick and friendly.

    This location is super cute. The decor is great. Our server Esmerelda was fantastic. I heard that they have been having issues with checks being wrong but we didn't have any issues. We ordered a variety of different dishes for our party of 5. The only one that truly enjoyed their food had the cheese chili relleno. We had enchiladas- both chicken and beef with both sauces, shrimp nachos and a special with taco and tostada. The plates are large, lots of food, but things were bland and not properly seasoned. They are known for their tortillas but they are quite unusual, very thick, almost like a pancake. The chips and salsa are terrible. The salsa had zero flavor or spice and the chips are straight out of a bag and not even high quality. I ordered queso hoping it would be ok but it appears to be straight out of a can and is also terrible. I ordered a margarita and it is way too big but was extremely weak. $14 and wheres the liquor? This meal was highly disappointing. I don't expect to return.

    So this is a great place. They moved to a new location that is still off Jefferson. The new place is charming. I love the decor and the water feature. The food here is just excellent. I came with friends, and let me tell you. So authentic Tex-Mex. Their beans and rice are so good, and I had the enchiladas. They were full of good flavor, and don't forget about their amazing tortillas. If you want some darn good tortillas, this is the place to get them. So, if you are in the Bishop Arts area off Jefferson, check them out for some great food. Don't go too fast, though, because you will miss it.

The apps were the Aguachile which was the better of the two, and the other were the crab croquettes which were packed with crab but lacked in flavor. Of the entrees the blacked catfish was the better one. The only issue was the huge portion of mashed potatoes which were reminiscent of powered mash, but the catfish itself was outstanding. On the other side I've never had a lobster roll before but this genuinely has no flavor and has experienced some serious shrinkflation when compared to other pictures here on yelp of it. The fries were great though. The dessert also was nothing memorable and was a very basic bread pudding that could've been warmer. Overall, I was not impressed by Pesca as the reviews may have led me to believe, but it is still a solid place in trinity groves that deserves be more attention.

One quick tip for the minimalist eater: if you visit during weekend brunch, the kitchen pivots to a heavy, savory menu. You won't find simple pastries or basic toast options during these hours, as even their avocado toast is a massive, fully-loaded meal. Which is a miss for me. Regret we were so hungry I forgot to take pictures of the food! Overall, it's highly recommended for a lively atmosphere and top-tier craft lattes!

My fav drink of the night was my Match Mucho, never had anything like it, but it grew on me with each sip. These are not guzzling drinks, definitely sip and savor. I didn't like all of the drinks (couldn't get halfway through the Red Headed Oaxacan), but I like the variety and that my palate was challenged. Flavors of all the cocktails were complex with many layers. And the vibe of this place was adult, and low-key. Serious cocktail connoisseurs need to check this place out!

No. But what has us coming back is their consistency and attention to detail. The space is gorgeous and each room brings a different vibe to the dining experience. We were sat in the darkest of the rooms that was very romantic, and thankfully the music wasn't too loud. When we were seated we found a frame on the table holding a message congratulations us on our anniversary, with our names included. It was very sweet! Our server was prompt, attentive, and very charming. She asked us questions about ourselves and also gave great recommendations throughout the night. The drinks were good! However, the Passionate Kiss started to taste very chemical forward the longer it sat (I'm a slow drinker) so I only finished half of it. Not sure if it was because of the print on the foam originally or what, but it wasn't pleasant. I got the scallops and loved them, especially since I was able to try their orzo with it that normally comes with the salmon instead. The scallops were tender and the flavor was rich and well balanced with the rest of the plate. My boyfriend loved his chops and devoured everything. He also got the Potatoes Au Gratin and couldn't get enough. They were very rich and had great flavor. I had previously seen reviews from others saying the potatoes and other dishes were bland but that was not our experience. The rolls were one of the best parts. I wish I could whip butter like that at home. Towards the end they brought us a couple of glasses of Prosecco to cheers with, and a complimentary dessert (the Samoa sundae).

I ordered the salmon cooked medium, but it arrived slightly overcooked. My husband requested a medium steak, but it came out medium rare in the center while somehow being medium well on the outside. The meatballs felt like they were missing something flavor-wise, though the calamari was good. The sides -- mac and cheese and loaded mashed potatoes -- were also a bit underwhelming. My daughter's lobster pasta was just okay as well. On a positive note, the service was solid and the Old Hollywood cocktail was perfection. I'm open to giving Evelyn another try because the atmosphere really is beautiful, but my husband has officially retired from future visits.
