Overall: 4.4/5
There are 3 separate parking structure with free 2 hour parking and street parking around the Uncommons. It was a short stroll from P1 parking structure to Todo Bien and we got to see some live music on the lawn right in front of Todo Bien. We did a walk-in for three on a Saturday night and were seated right away. The service is a bit slow since they were completely packed but still good overall. When you walk through the huge doors, it's like you're transported to another place. It does not look like a tiki bar to me but I'm not complaining since this place is a vibe. Whoever designed this bar had an eye for aesthetics. I love their coasters and menu as well. In general, they have a good variety of drinks and all their specialty cocktails had such a distinct character to them.
Todo Bien ($20): Spiced tea infused Patron, lemon, lime, grapefruit, agave, and sumac. This drink looks exactly like the menu picture - teapot with a tea cup. The drink inside was iced though and became watered down the longer you leave it. Is it strong? No. I think they need to update their strength legend from 3 to 2. This cocktail had the subtlest flavor profile out of all the drinks we've had here as well.
Li Hing Hula ($19): El Tesoro Blanco, Li Hing Mui, mango, citrus blend. I took a small sip so I can't really speak to the flavors in depth but it just wasn't a memorable drink for me.
Night Fishing Taxi ($19): Rice & ginger infused Espolòn Blanco, lime, thai-spice honey, bangkok betty bitters. This was the most interesting drink we'd have ever tasted. It's suppose to be an Asian-inspired cocktail based on the ingredient list but it literally tasted like a taco/burrito in a drink form. I thought I was crazy but the other two concurred with me. We were shooketh. It was very intense for sure and woke me up.
Solar Flare ($15): Stone fruit infused Dos Hombres Mezcal, Trés Blanco Tequila, Velvet Falernum, Mac nut orgeat, passion fruit, firewater. This was very spicy to me which I think is from the firewater. I like the flavor, but I couldn't handle that spicy aftertaste.
Zorro ($19): Producer Mezcal, Guinness reduction, chocolate, orange bitters tobacco bits. I surprise myself when I say this was actually my favorite drink at Todo Bien. The mezcal tasted very clarified and smooth. It's a very well-balanced drink but the portion size was small (less than half the glass). The strength legend says it's a 5/5 but it was more like a 2.5-3. It is a sneaker though where it doesn't have a strong alcohol taste but your body is feeling some type of way.
Seven Serpents ($19): Abasolo Whiskey (first 100% Ancestral Corn Mexican whiskey), Nixta, Démerara, angostura bitters. This Old Fashion has a unique taste but not one that I cared for. It was stronger than Zorro and Night Fishing Taxi and also has a 5/5 in terms of strength. read more
