Really, whoever gives this place a bad review should have a serious look into their soul. This is a place that demands many return visits. Loved it!!Vegetarian options: Tacos con papas!!

Very disappointing. Went for brunch and they were out of birria and it seemed that was the only thing on the menu besides chilaquiles

Love this bar! The food and drinks are so good. Came in on Monday night around 7 had the best bartender I can't remember his name but he was so helpful and helped me find the perfect cocktail. Very cute bar. Amazing tapas style food. Will definitely be back.

Great ambiance and yummy food! I can't wait to come back and try something else! You order at the bar and seat yourself which is nice

Great selection of tequilas and a good atmosphere. The steak quesadilla and guac and chips were delicious. Definitely going back to try the rest of the food options. The variety of tequilas were fairly priced.

If others in the county think their Mex food choices rival the vast number of offerings to be had in So Bay, they haven’t spent much time down south. La Nacional proves out my suggestion to the nines. The early day offerings with the birria top the list for me. I tried it with verde chilliquilles and the Verda salsa, so important to this seemingly simple combo, was amazing and fantastic with the birria.Take a drive down and try La Nacional, but plan for a nap in your car or at the park before heading back, because you will need it after enjoying Mex food this wonderful.And Oh! Did I mention the incredible mixed drinks? Such a treat! <3

Horrible place, the bartender Jasmine has the worst attitude and rude with customers. Not sure how she got hired to work in the service industry. Will never go back there.

Walked in with a group of 6 people Sunday morning. No one attended us for over 5 minutes. When I tried to order I stood by the bar and was told "the line is over there". I took this as a very clear indication of the level of service staying there would have been like (cringe). Walked out and went to El Comal and had had a great brunch.

I've been to this location twice. It's a great place with great food and drinks. On Friday nights they have music playing and is overall a great vibe. I've tried their loaded nachos and Carne Asada fries which were great. I tried three of their drinks, including their margarita, and they were all well crafted. I was treated very well by all employees.

This was my first time at this place. I had always been curious because it's usually pretty full at night . Went during the day, don't spend your money here! I didn't get her name but with all the other bad reviews of her I'm guessing it's Jasmine, the woman bartender with curly hair and glasses. She was extremely rude! I've never had a problem at any brewery or restaurant on 3rd Avenue, everyone is always extremely sweet and helpful. Her customer service was absolutely horrible, an asshole without reason. Save your money!

The Drinks are top notch. The Food is delicious. The vibe is amazing. If you're ever in downtown CV, you HAVE to hit up this spot.

Today we were walking on 3rd ave and we saw this good looking place so we decided to sit at the bar. This woman I think her name is Jasmine was SO FREAKING RUDE! my husband asked if she could recommend a light beer and she literally threw the menu and said with a long face "you look and decide" She was also extremely rude to me when asking me what I wanted to order. At this point I could tell my husband was mad and I wanted to enjoy my Sunday and not see her long a$$ face so we decided to leave and we politely said Thank you we are going to keep looking.. who hired her? Not good for business!

My one star is for Jay. He was super nice and friendly. Very knowledgeable when answering questions about Mezcal. We would have had a great experience if he was our bartender. Unfortunately we were served by Jazmine. She was incredibly rude!!!! We sat at the bar for some drinks and watched how rudely she would speak to people. There was a family who came in for dinner. They didn't have a chance to order dinner, just a round of beer. They didn't get very far with her. When the gentleman called her over to place his order she rudely told him she wasn't where he was from. She did a lot of talking with her hands while she was speaking to him. He did not wave her over, or yell. He clearly waved to try to get her attention. I felt so bad for him and apologized for her behavior. I told him maybe she's having a bad night??? He paid and left. We couldn't believe how rude she was acting with him. I even told a young lady who was wiping down a table how rude she was to him. We were there to celebrate a birthday and our intention was to stay and enjoy the night but she was very rude. We left after a few drinks and took our business elsewhere. Here's a picture of her. Avoid her and ask for Jay for better service. I can say that the margarita I had was good.

It’s a 5star for me. Enjoying some appetizers. The chimi salsa is hot and very good. Tried the quesadilla with Oaxaca queso mmm delicious. Coming back for steak
