We had our reception dinner here. The staff was great, everyone loved the food and drinks. It was a perfect evening. I can’t thank Eric enough for kicking off our wedding. Everyone was blown away.

Amazing! We were lured to Odin after seeing a social media reel of someone’s visit here. WOW! Everything we had was delicious. We started off with the fundido and equites. Our group ordered the carne asada tacos, trout empanadas, and the chicken mole quesadilla for the main entrees. All had great reviews but I would say my mole (which was gluten free) was the best of all. As for drinks - whoa selection! So many mezcal and tequila options for 1oz pours or flights. I had their recommendation of tequila (Siembra Alteño) and our group sampled a variety of cocktails from the menu. I ended the night with a Nela Canela which wasn’t too sweet and had a good blend of ingredients for a great cocktail. Definitely recommend and would go back!
Wow this was an amazing experience! Chef Ramos really knows what he’s doing in the kitchen.
We ordered:
1. Guacamole; this was not your usual guacamole and it was an interesting twist giving off lots of different flavor profiles in every bite. The potato tacos were a good addition too. However, the chips that came with the guacamole were a little too hard for my liking and I would’ve preferred a slightly more chunky guacamole (just to get more of the avocado flavor). Rating: 8/10
2. Chicken wings; the perfect CRUNCHY wings with a kick of spice. The sauces paired extremely well with the chicken and gave a cooling effect on the pallet from the spice. I do wish the chip toppings were a little crunchier. Rating: 8.5/10
3. For the entrees, we got the chicken Mole quesadilla and the smoked trout empanadas - I’ll be dreaming about these … that’s how good it was. Each dish took you on a journey of different flavor profiles, while still maintaining the perfect balance. I’ll definitely be coming back for these two. Rating: 11/10.
4. For dessert, we got the sweet potato flan. If was absolutely delicious (so good we were scraping the bowl). 11/10
We got drinks with this as well but to be honest the food was so good, the drinks didn’t even compareee.
Bravo Chef Ramossss and Odin — highly recommend.

I just got back from Europe and it's been 2 weeks. I have been so bummed that I can't find food like I did portugal. Odin not only fixed that lack of amazing food they delivered a delicious meal along with drink and super friendly staff and patrons. Absolutely try this place out. I will be back soon.
This place is way overrated. The food was so over sauced and overly complicated as to make the ingredients unrecognizable. I guess that acidic substance in the empanaditas was trout but it didn't taste like much of anything under the layers of sauce. Likewise with the fish in the ceviche and whatever that was in the huarachito. (Get it, cute names! ) The service was also poor but that wasn't the fault of the working staff who worked in a good natured spirit despite being shorthanded. Management clearly made a decision to sqeeze out every penny of profit by minimizing labor costs. I do have say that the place looked cool with smart, edgy art on the walls but in the end, it was all show.

What an amazing little place! So perfect to celebrate our anniversary. The flan was to die for, the service was on point and the drinks were so unique. The music was also great.

What a jewel of a place this is! Beautifully decorated both inside and out, impeccable tasteful (and tasty!) without being pretentious. We tried much of the menu, and not a single disappointment. The brussel sprout salad was crispy and tangy, the chicken wings spicy and tender. The mushroom main course and the barbacoa tacos were intensely flavorful, and somehow entirely novel while still recognizably Mexican. The guacamole, paired with a pumpkin seed dip from the Yucatán that I've never found stateside, was eye opening in its complexity. Even the cocktails were unique and fresh: the pajarote ponche, with fresh tamarind and slight sweetness, was a particular delight. And the atmosphere? Charming, filled with details like hand-shaped carved chairs and cute table candles made to look like lamps, complete with mini lampshades. Someone has clearly put much time and love into this spot. We were a family with kids, but there were many young couples clearly enjoying an elegant night out. It's increasingly rare to find a place that can cater to families and singles so effortlessly.
All told, this was a wonderful experience. Highly recommended. My only regret is waiting so long to come. We will be back, many times, with friends.
