We reached 9:00pm they told us our kitchen is closed.but on website timing shows 10:00pm it’s ridiculous and rude staff. Please before you go check.staff don’t want to work.

Party of 4 for dinner. We had a great server that was engaging and offered honest opinions on the menu and steered us to her favorites. The group had the Cantina Nachos as a starter. Delicious but could have used a bit more protein. We all had different flavors of their margaritas and and we were all happy with our orders. The Berry margaritas was very good.

Our waitress suggested the Mole Poblano for me over the Negro and I was more than pleased. The chicken was a bit overcooked but the Mole sauce was aromatic and full of flavor. I would recommend.

Atmosphere was excellent and the location was a bonus as it was next to a parking garage with free parking.

The food is just bad.
“The mole is great here” - no it’s not. It’s tourist food Applebees energy.

The prices on top of that terrible experience while hearing bad 80s music adds insult to injury. Charging $12 per taco and $52 for shrimp fajitas is wild - idc if I’m in Beverly Hills you’re not a good restaurant to be trying that.

My co worker and I decided to get a work lunch in and have a meeting together. She is a frequent customer of this place and really enjoys it here, at first everything was great. However, when the bill came they took a very long time to bring the check back. Once they did it was wrong and we were in correctly charged. We asked them to void original form of payment and re charge us. The bill came back for the second time and it was still in correct. We asked them to make our experience right. The two of us got 2 quesedillas and an iced tea. Should not be that complicated to figure out how to charge a person correctly. We asked the manager for assistance and support and he was not willing to do anything. Now I have to fight to get my money back twice. It isn't much but it's the point, its the principle. What a bummer, what a horrible experience.

This is one of my go-to's when I am in LA. We always get the Healthy Bowls and my friend gets an Irish coffee with Baileys. It's usually around $18 for the drink. We often also just go sit at the bar and get the same drink. Last week, we ordered the same drink as always. The bartender seemed very confused and took forever entering our order into the iPad, that should have been our first clue. He then brought over two espresso martinis. He disappeared before we even realized what he had put down (we were chatting.) He was gone for at least ten minutes, we were the only ones at the bar. So we just drank our drinks, which were lovely even though it wasn't what we ordered- we were trying to be nice assuming he was new. Eventually he came back and started talking with a woman two seats down from us who had just arrived. He never looked up at us even though I tried to subtly get his attention for the check. Finally, he brings the check. Over $50 for two drinks! We questioned it. He explained they charge for each ingredient separately (what?!) and that included a top shelf whisky (which he had told us would only be $3 more. He also claimed there was a $6 charge for Baileys even though there was none in the drink we were served. He just kept arguing and saying the same thing over and over. We were tired and just wanted to get out of there so we paid and left- no tip. We are so sad to have such a bad experience at one of our favorites.

As a frequent diner in Beverly Hills, I was really disappointed in the low quality experience I had at this restaurant. First, there was a loud buzzing horn sounding every 3 minutes. I asked my waitress about it (who was actually really sweet) and she said it was a broken speaker. It was so distracting that I could barely have a conversation with my sister who was also dining with me. We both developed a headache after 10 minutes of this. On top of that, I ordered the cantina nachos. They came out cold and soggy. I had to eat them with a fork as the nachos on the bottom were complete mush and almost soup like. The presentation is an Applebee’s level. The ambiance is very pretty which got us through but I will not be back. Not worth the money.

Nice place, open floor atmosphere, and descent food options. However It would have been nice to see a bit more variation and options. the bar and main seating area seemed a bit too close, in my opinion; this made it a little difficult to actually hear each others' conversations, since there was so much hustle and bustle in the background. The price point and value for what you're actually getting is not quite worth it.

Restaurant charges double what is listed in the OpenTable menu. $5 taco —-> $10. $12 guacamole —->$25. Management provided me 4-5 excuses and said they don't use OpenTable any longer, however I booked online an hour before and hostess checked us in using OpenTable.
