I pulled up to The Taco Bar recently for the first time…read more This is the perfect spot where you could catch up with a friend or casually grab a bite/drink. Especially when the weather is nice. There's indoor and outdoor seating available. I started with the tostones and guacamole and empanadas. I've had tostones plenty of times but never with guac and it was pretty good. Thin Tostones paired with fresh guacamole. Then I had the cheeseburger and oxtail empanadas. They fry them fresh and the fillings were tasty but small in size. Sadly they sold out of the elote. For the mains I got the jerk chicken taco, salmon taco, oxtail tacos, jerk chicken burrito, and Mexican burger. My guy tried the salmon taco and I had the jerk chicken. That was a bit spicy. The oxtail tacos were juicy with a crispy tortilla and decent amount of oxtail. I seen a jerk chicken burrito on the menu so I had to check it out. It's packed and that jerk chicken was spicy how I like it. You can even order it as a bowl. The Mexican burger is your classic thick burger but they spice it up with guacamole, pica de gallo, and sauce to give it a Mexican twist. Shout out to Amare and Bairam. They were very helpful. You can also watch the playoffs here.

Came with one margarita and three tacos you can mix and match. Tacos were okay, shrimp were my favorite between the chicken or shrimp taco. Service wasn't bad while seating at the bar. Decent place for quick bite with friends.

I went here on the fly for a friend's birthday celebration. The crowd is lively, but a little bit…read moreyounger than I expected. Which wasn't a bad thing because the patrons were all having a good time. Most of the patrons are in their mid twenties to early thirties. The music is great.. The Dj definitely knows how to keep the crowd engaged. He played a mixture of hip hop, reggae and R&B. The food is typical bar food wings, fries etc. I had the buffalo wings, which tasted good. I had the rum punch and it was perfect. Everyone is minding their business and having a good time. This is a good spot for the younger lively crowd.

It's a bar restaurant/ lounge. Most definitely not thrilled…read moreabout the $20 cover charge. The customer service was TERRIBLE! Had to leave my table and go to the register to place my order! My food was good, no complaints there. Though, no one checked up on my party to see if we needed anything at all. THE NERVE of the 20% gratuity for the lack of service rendered. I also had to go back to the register to dispute charges on my bill. Ordered wings and mashed potatoes. Only wings came out. No one said anything about the mash nor was anything else offered. But lo and behold, the mash was still on the bill. When I brought it to the waiters attention, she said "oh yeah, there's no more mash. I'll take it off". But where was the communication when you knew there was no mashed potatoes? The vibes were good.... I believe there is a patio in the back for the SMOKERS.... The bathroom was nasty...

I've been meaning to come to Sip N Chat for a while so we finally did last Friday night. It's hard…read moreto miss the lounge as they have neon lights out front and Trini music in the background. They have outdoor seating but we sat inside since it was later in the evening. The vibes are great. It's a narrow restaurant inside but they pack the tables in and get you seated right away. There was a DJ spinning the beats and TVs showcasing music videos. They have a full menu and bar even at 11pm and I ordered the curry snapper which came with your choice of regular rice, or rice and beans, with veggies served on the side. Many of the cocktails have amaretto in them which was perfect since that's one of my favorite liquors. You can also order any kind of cocktail or liquor from the bar. The food took about 15-20 and it was well worth the wait. You're missing out if you've never had snapper before and the islands really know how it's done. Cooked to perfection and the curry seasoning was the best. Getting the check takes a while so if you can pay in cash that'll speed up the process. A great spot none the less and worth a visit.

The venue felt both spacious and intimate, creating the perfect atmosphere for the occasion. The live band was absolutely phenomenal they kept the energy high all night, had everyone dancing, and truly made the celebration unforgettable.

The music need to be more diverse.
