    Came in for brunch, but brunch was no longer something they do on Sundays be aware their main website still states that. Cute decor with plush sittings and fireplace in the middle. On to the food, had their draft mango margarita it was not bad. Chips with 3 salsas was good. Beef tacos were bad, the only dish with egg was a rice bowl with kimchi it was ok. Service was good. Have a potential to be good spot if the kitchen kick it up a notch Fun fact in the middle of the wall a framed picture of the attorney that looks like an old porn star Ron Jeremy

    We were excited to visit Grand Castor, especially after hearing about their brunch menu, only to be disappointed to learn they no longer offer it. The decor, however, is undeniably Instagram-worthy, and we were amused to discover that their lawyer has ensured a quirky homage to Ron Jeremy prominently displayed in the restaurant--a fun and unexpected touch! He wrote it into their contract. LOL. The service was quick and friendly, but the food didn't live up to expectations. My tortilla soup was essentially broth-less, and the tuna on my salad didn't seem fresh--I left half of it behind. The beef tacos, which should be renamed "hamburger tacos with unmelted cheese," fell flat even with the kid, who didn't finish one. Grand Castor has a fun atmosphere and great service, but the food left us underwhelmed. With a little more attention to quality and detail in the kitchen, it could be as memorable as its decor.

    Loved the decor and an ambiance! There are 2 different seating rooms - one has a great big fire pit and cacti, and the other all sort of pink and shiny! There is a strange retro looking portrait of a man in the main room ;). Waiter told us an interesting story behind it.. food was somewhat hit or miss. My rice bowl was excellent! My friend's beef tacos - were not. Overall I liked this place especially on a cold Sunday- with a drink and a fire pit going

    I came here about a month ago, so excited since it's been months since last coming here. I was craving nachos + trying their new brunch menu. I arrived on a Sunday morning near 11:30 and was the second table to sit down. There was no more brunch menu, the service was super slow (it took 15+ minutes just to get water and another 20 for the server to come back and take orders), and the nachos were subpar to say the least. I was really disheartened after this visit and I'm not sure when I'll come back, but probably not during a weekend morning.

    I visited specifically for the Christmas pop-up bar, and the decorations were super cute and festive. The holiday cocktails were pretty good too. I was planning to order tacos, but our waiter recommended trying the pizza since that's their specialty. I created my own, and it was good. My only issue is that I wish the waiter had mentioned that adding a side of Peruvian green chili sauce would cost around $3--I would've taken it to go with my leftover pizza!

    I didn't have a good experience here, the food wasn't good and the service wasn't that great neither. I was with a party of 8. And one of the people in my party order this spicy burrito but when I said it was hot it was so hot that you couldn't even enjoy it and then the server had the nerve to give a her a hard and said they couldn't take it off the bill and give her something different even though she only took 1 bite. I ordered the chicken and steak burrito it was very bland and the beans didn't seem fully cooked. I would not go back here. Only if I had to come here for a party but I probably wouldn't eat.

    Such a cute atmosphere! Cozy and chic. Great food, especially the enchiladas. Drinks are fantastic. Service is nice. Not sure why this place isn't more popular

    We enjoyed it! Only complaint the times are not served as indicated on the menu. Example: menu says lime and cilantro rice; it's lime rice and tastes like white rice. Very basic. The donuts indicate Mexican chocolate and caramel as dipping sauces but it only came with caramel. The caramel was cold too; that's a no no with a warm donut. I wasn't told these things before ordering and had to ask once they came to table. The chocolate chip cookie was nothing special. Crispellis's has theeee best chocolate chip cookies ever; always ask for them to be served warm or heat it up at home! Delicious! The elote pizza was so delicious! Full of flavor and crust is perfect. The tacos, guacamole, mango margaritas were very good. We will return just for the pizza and donuts! Yummmyyyy

    The reviews are not wrong. I expect so much more from Union Joints. Pros: The decor is eclectic and interesting. Parking lot. Veggie options. Happy hour from 4-6. Cons: painfully slow service. Not enough vegan options. Back bar closed. Would love to see this place get more help and be more attentive to customers.

    Shrimp and chicken tacos

    Very cute and trendy place in Troy! Went this past weekend but they were understaffed and the 3 people working there were very sweet and kept us updated if anything was going to be delayed. I got the shrimp and chicken tacos which were flavorful! Unfortunately the tea latte was a little cold but I think it's because our waiter also had to make all of ours and just got delayed since it was busy so definitely not her fault. There is a cute fireplace area and a separate room to rent out for private events. Definitely would go back next time I am in the area!

    Ask the Community - Gran Castor

    Are there Vegan options?

    Yes! My friend is vegan and loves their jackfruit tacos!

    Are there any seafood options? Seems to lack variety for pescatarians and vegetarians besides just jackfruit

    I think the only fish they have as of now is tuna. You can opt for tuna in the burrito instead of chicken or beef. I will say the last time I dined in was a few months ago. They could very well have other fish options by now. Hope this helps

    Could I stay and study here?

    Maybe on a couch in the coffee shop area. But it is small. Further inside there is a nice lounge area with fireplace but it gets pretty loud. It's near bar 1 of 2.

    Is there a kids menu?

    Yes

    Paloma is a reboot of the old El Camino Mexican restaurant. Same ownership but they have gone with…read morea more upscale Mexican slanted Fusion style menu. Choices are a bit limited where their entree's are an upscale burger/hotdog and mostly fusion style taco's like Bahn M Vietnamese chicken Taco's, 66 Birria Brisket Barebacoa taco's, Umami Bomb grilled tomato taco's, Baja fish taco's and Tempura fried Mahi tacos. Aside from the main entree's they also offer a selection of Tapas and salad selections For my first meal here I got their custom blend cheese burger that had caramelized onions, house made pickles, lettuce, tomato and a house sauce with fries. The burger was very tasty cooked to perfection with a medium doneness (no over cooking here unless you ask for it) where the sauce and pickles gave it a unique flavor profile that I liked. Fries were crunchy and nicely done as well. For my drink I ordered a house Margarita from their tequila inspired craft cocktail menu. The Margarita was very smooth and quite tasty and very reasonably priced at $10. MY only gripe with the drink is it was made with Reposadao tequila where my personal tastes trend towards a brighter Margarita and Blanco tequila. Having said that I could drink this Margarita all day long! Relative to staff and facility, the restaurant is definately on the rustic side where it could probably use an update on the ceramic floors and tables/chairs. It's not bad but it would add greater appeal if they invested a little more money on the interior in my opinion. Staff was super friendly and I enjoyed my conversation with my waitress who also served as the bartender. Overall the uniqueness of this menu and how good the taco menu looked will definately bring me back in the near future as I need to give those guys a try as well. If you are in the area and are a fan of well prepared food you should definately give these guys a look see
