The food was alright overall. The brisket was soft, but it lacked flavor and seasoning. The fries…read morewere crispy, but the seasoning was inconsistent some pieces were salty while others had almost none. The crispy onion rings were the highlight of the burger; they added great texture and a satisfying snap. Adding barbecue sauce helped bring in some of the flavor the burger was missing. Overall, it was a decent burger, but not memorable. What really made me question returning was the service. The cashiers didn't greet me when I approached the counter, and they didn't hand me my drink or my order number. Finally, I noticed one of the cooks using his bare hands to grab fries while preparing an order. I really hope his hands were washed, because that raised a big concern about food safety. In the end, it was an okay experience, but there are several things that need improvement. The ambiance was nice set of characters like the neon signs and design of the place like the wood accent.

I went for brunch so i can imagine dinner would be as good too. When you walk in its very posh and comfy seating. The service was great. They were very attentive and making sure you were satisfied. Our waitress was great at recommending plates. The manager was a sweetheart and happy for people enjoying their food. When you arrive they give you complimentary bread that was sweet and good. They have a variety of breakfast drinks to choose from. They also have a fully set up bar with cocktails and mocktails. I ordered the eggs Benedict and they were so good! They literally hit the flavor to the way they should be made. The fact too it comes with actual hasbrowns and not breakfast potatoes was the best thing ever! My mother and aunt got the chilaquiles rojos but one of them had mushrooms. The sauce was spot on on this dish. You definitely need to order them. My other aunt ordered the spinach omelette and she said it was delicious and very well put together. Overall the place is great for brunch or dinner. Definitely recommend it for a good time and delicious food.

We were a large party and plates were dry, like the enchiladas and pancakes were cold! Waitresses didn't check to see if we needed anything.

Food was not so bad, but if you're willing to take this kind of service, then you're ok. It's an expensive place, so they can at least improve their service.

The man with salt and pepper hair that I would assume was the manager was very funny and helpful. The waitress was polite and charming as well and had a few jokes as well. Overall the service part was very pleasant and is what would make me come back. The drinks were different but both nicely balanced and tasty. The food was somewhat of a miss as the protein seemed to have been a little over cooked but the sides and everything else was very delicious. The salmon, prime rib, and burger patty were all a bit over cooked. The salmon was a bit on the dry side for being blackened, the prime rib seemed to be over cooked or was either from day before or left over, and the burger patty after being asked for medium well was well done with no slight pink to be found. Those were the only misses in my opinion but everything else was great. They had run out of wings which I wanted to try but definitely worth trying if you have a chance. Cantarito shandy great balance and if you like grapefruit you'll love this drink. El canton the ginger and pineapple gave a banana type flavor but it was nicely balanced. Prime rib cocktail- great flavor from beer stewed vegetables. Beautiful balanced and got better with every bite, however the prime rib was over cooked and a bit tough. Almost tasted like prime rib used from day before or left over. Coconut blackened salmon - salmon a bit on dry side but the rice and plantain was on point. El capataz burger patty was well but the chorizo with mushrooms and cheese paired nicely.

The staff are very friendly and in our case did a tasting menu for us. We just had our server pick out tapas dishes and brought them out as needed.

This is great for dinner and has a nicely decorated space for all size groups. Highly recommend this place if you want something different and delicious. Next time i'm in town i'm sure i'll be back to try the main course items. Thank you for a lovely experience and dinner.

The menu online looks spectacular and had a lot of interesting dishes. I was super excited. I saw that they were open late and I was also very happy about this because my meal was after work. I arrived at 9:30 walked in the side entrance and saw a post hunched over and squatted down, looking at her iPhone. I also saw another employee leaning on the host stand talking to her. He didn't greet me neither did she until I walked to the front of the house stand. She got up from her crouch position and said can I help you? I was surprised to see what she was wearing, an oversized hoodie with some type of logo on it, which was not an appropriate thing to wear, and it did not match the other employee that were more crisp. I said dining for one and grabbed a menu and slid it across the host stand out of pure laziness. She slumped her way over with the menu hanging on her left side and sat me at a table. Wow what a lousy first impression for a restaurant that I was so excited to visit. A server came over gave me a menu and brought me water. Disappointed to see that the menu was completely different from the menu that I saw online. No unique dishes and the variety was not great. However, I was there and felt I'd give it a chance. A server that was at the bar entering tickets or something, kept looking over at my table, but no one ever acknowledged me after I was seated. I waited for about 10 minutes until someone realized I need assistance. The server finally came over. He was polite to check my order served my meal left me to be on my own to check on me one time, but it certainly wasn't a two minute check when he should to see if my meal was to my satisfaction. My plates were not cleared and I had to ask for the check.. the food was OK. I had the salmon. Nothing spectacular. risotto was uneventful. Got my check and left. No goodbye, no thank you for coming in no stand out service. As a restaurant professional in California, I can't figure out if it's just a Texas thing or they rate everything high or this restaurant truly is deserving of its accolades..
