We had an amazing time at Centro. Sitting outside (rooftop) was lovely. The food was delicious but the portions are incredibly small for the price. Drinks were yummy and so was desert. Overall a great time and we will be back!

Great hidden gem in the downtown area. Food was/is delicious. Prices are equal to the amount and taste of the food served. Parking is great too!

Excellent mole! The chips with the various dips (guac, queso) are also great and come in generous portions. Family-friendly. Other than the overly loud music, it's a great time.

3.9/5 solid "Mexican" restaurant with a focus on more quality ingredients. I had the del sur chicken taco and the Chicano steak taco for $10, which was expensive for tacos. The steak taco was better than the chicken because the meat was pretty tender and the quality of meat was good. In addition the chicken taco was a bit more dry. However, the corn tortillas were pretty good. The chips and salsa were not complimentary FYI. Overall, a bit pricey for the quality of food and I have definitely had way better tacos, but it wasn't bad food by any means; above average. Overall wouldn't recommend because I have had better.

We meet friends downtown and checked this place out based on a social media post. Wife & friend ordered chips & guacamole. The guac comes in three styles which they really enjoyed. Everyone's entree were delicious. All of our food & drinks didn't disappoint. The staff is energetic, which definitely added to the experience. The place is narrow but does have outdoor tables. Just mentioning it so plan accordingly.Parking: It has a paid parking garage next door. There is a free city garage after hours/weekend across the street.

Delicious little Mexican restaurant downtown. The food is a step above the typical Mexican restaurant, and the tres leches cake was the best I’ve ever eaten. Delicious cocktails and mezcal bar above. The space is narrow and can get loud and when it’s busy. Parking is easily available in a nearby parking deck.

I have loved Centro in the past. Today was quite different. The guacamole and chips were $4.00 for a very small container of guac. The guac I get from the grocery store tastes better than the guac at Centro. I was really shocked.I also had some tacos that were average. I don't like that ordering is entirely on their app. They hardly interact with you at all and yet the app expects a 20% tip! I paid $17 for food that was very much like El Rodeo -- just average or less than average. I will just to to El Rodeo next time and save some $$$.

The food that we tried was not good, the Chicken in the mole was dry as cardboard and the enchiladas, the flavor were ok but the tortilla felt like it was from 1 month

Met several friends for dinner here. Cute spot downtown -- we were at a cozy table under the stairs beside the bar. Didn't order a cocktail but they looked amazing. We ordered chips, salsa and queso for the table. All were delicious. I ordered the centro bowl with chicken for my entree. It was the perfect amount of each ingredient in the bowl. I'm not normally a guacamole fan but it just with with the bowl and was quite tasty. Waitress was attentive without being overbearing. I look forward to returning and trying some cocktails and a different entree.
