    Fish taco
    Jesse V.

    We came here on a Friday night, thankfully we found a table right away. The band was playing with the volume up the Ying yang. The food was absolutely delicious, I was honestly surprised. I got the Garlic plate, it was shrimp and fish, it also had beans amd rice. My wife got the camarones a la diabla and they were also delicious. I didn't get full with my plate so I got another fish taco, the fish was battered and it was also good. Overall it was a good experience, the staff was nice and attended us with the upmost best service!

    Carne Asada Nachos with Salsa and chips on the side.

    10/10 Super yummy food, amazing taste all around. Chips are nice and crunchy. House salsa is super yummy with the chips. Asked for chips on the side for my nachos and they were very accommodating! Super friendly staff and servers!!

    CARNE ASADA BURRITO 10/10
    Lisa L.

    SERVICE | whoa! We had a large party of about 20 people and service was top notch! Even with the loud music :) FOOD | everything was sooo delicious! One person in our group kept raving about the carne asada burrito so we had to try it... surprisingly SO GOOD. The beef was really tender! The gobernator taco was also another favorite! Really though, don't think you can go wrong. Everything had large portions too, so I would recommend sharing! AMBIENCE | it's loud AF. Expect nothing less haha if you come in expecting a nice place for long convos, this is not it. I notice there were a lot of one stars because of the music, but come on you've been warned! PARKING | plenty outside! Come try it out yourself, or just order carne asada burrito To-go! :)

    Good food  but the drunk guy ruined it
    Rob G.

    Great food. But they had on e guy there acting belligerent and drunk . Grabbing the waitresses is not cool at all. They need security. I can't believe an establishment with great food would run out customers because of some drunk guy acting crazy. I heard he's a regular. I will not visit this place in person. I will order take out instead. Great food. Just a bad customer ruined my visit.

    Sexy shrimp octopus plate
    Dennis C.

    I came here with my coworkers because they were in the mood for mariscos. There are two menus. I wasnt a fan of anything I saw except for the fried shrimp with fries and the sexy shrimp and octopus plate(that's what it's called in Spanish) So I went with the latter. Pretty decent size for the smaller size. I finished my plate pretty full. Let me tell you that this place has an Horchata like I've never tasted before! It was so rich and delicious. I would come back just for this! Service could have been way better. We weren't checked on even though the restaurant was somewhat empty for the friday afternoon lunch period we came in.

    Michelada and seafood was great

    Michelada and seafood was great They also had live music which was a bit loud Don't forget to use the yelp check in for 10% off

    The food and service were pretty decent, but the live mariachi band makes me hesitant to even step foot inside the restaurant again (at least during dinner time). The mariachi band was a full band with trumpets and a tuba player. It was DEBILITATINGLY loud. It was shocking at first when the band started playing. It was hard to even focus on the food at that point or even to hold a conversation without screaming across the table. We were this close to packing up our barely touched food and taking it to go because the loud band was unbearable. I was looking around to see if other people were enjoying it but it seems like everyone else felt the same or was trying to bear through it. The kids at the other tables were covering their ears. The waitresses all wore ear plugs!!! The full sized band is just not appropriate for the size of the venue. If it's vital for the restaurant to host a full sized band, then at least pass out ear plugs to people who need them so they can enjoy their food.

    Came here because my guy friends wanted to see the girls, listen to music and eat some mariscos. This place is decent. Our waitress took care of us and the food was pretty good. Fell in love with the San Pedro dish.

I wanted to share some comprehensive feedback regarding a recent experience, aiming to highlight both your successes and areas where further refinement could elevate the customer journey even further. First and foremost, I must commend your team for their exceptional warmth and hospitality. From my initial phone call to the moment I picked up my order, I felt genuinely welcomed and valued. This level of customer service, which often feels lacking in many establishments today, truly sets American Grub apart. It creates a welcoming atmosphere that significantly enhances the overall experience, and I sincerely hope this commitment to friendliness remains a cornerstone of your operation. However, I encountered a couple of points that, in my personal opinion, warrant consideration for improvement. Regarding the payment process, I felt a degree of apprehension about providing my credit card details over the phone. While I understand the operational need to secure orders and prevent potential losses, particularly for larger transactions, for a single item like my bacon cheeseburger, priced at $17.24 including tax, this practice felt somewhat disproportionate. I also noted the 99-cent fee for online payments, which, while minor, might deter some customers who are seeking convenience without additional charges. Perhaps exploring alternative secure payment links for phone orders or adjusting the fee structure for smaller transactions could enhance customer comfort and streamline the process. My primary concern, however, arose upon returning home. Despite ordering a bacon cheeseburger, I discovered the burger completely lacked bacon, as well as any form of sauce or mayonnaise. This oversight had a significant impact on the meal; the absence of these core components rendered the burger quite bland and far from the experience I had anticipated. When ordering a single item, the expectation for meticulous attention to detail is particularly high, as there are fewer variables. Consequently, the overall value of the meal, given the missing ingredients, was not quite met on this occasion. I did reach out to the owner privately via email to discuss these points, and I appreciate their responsiveness and transparency in addressing my feedback, particularly concerning the rationale behind the phone payment policy. It is reassuring to know that your business is open to customer input. My hope is that these observations can serve as constructive input, allowing American Grub to continue refining its excellent service and product quality. I remain a supporter of your local endeavor and look forward to seeing these aspects addressed. Thank you for reaching out. To clarify, all my reviews and communications are crafted solely from my personal experiences and genuine perspectives, not AI. Every word and insight you read is authentically mine, driven by my commitment to provide honest feedback. Even though the review was long..(lol) I wanted to make sure the details are accurate and understandable. Plus I think you and your establishment are great and I wanted to detail that as well Kimberly.
