Our 1st time for my bday. We loved it. The food was amazing and service by Gabriela was on point. Highly recommended.

Is it called Westco or Weso? If I was the owner I'd probably have my restaurant name on Google squared away. Anyways, one waitress and one bus boy were the only people working for the entire restaurant for dinner. If they even just had a bartender as well it would have been fine but she had to do everything. They really should have just closed for the evening instead. I've been to small places that have closed due to staffing before. Filet was good, very tender. Empanadas were good. They ran out of arrachera so tried the flank for something similar. It was cooked perfectly but was still too tough. Maybe marinade it or serve it as a thinner cut. Otherwise average. Even if fully staffed I don't think I'd return. Trying to support local small places but there is a lot of competition out there.

The drinks, chips, and salsa were all phenomenal! The ambience is cool, dark, and Smokey. The manager made our drinks and made us laugh too. Can’t recommend enough!

Outstanding! We just walked up to celebrate our anniversary and came home so full and happy! Everything was just perfect - the friendliest, most professional servers (Octavio was fantastic), beautiful presentation of each dish and delicious food. The guacamole alone deserves 5 stars! Had fish and chicken, the sauces and sides made them both A+. Topped off by a complimentary glass of champagne. I was concerned that it would be too formal or stuffy but it wasn’t. Elegant and sophisticated decor but friendly and many fit in with casual clothes. Will definitely return and recommend. Nice to have such a special spot in the neighborhood.

Weso is a gem! I took my husband here for his 40th birthday. The food is absolutely incredible, with perfectly cooked steaks and flavorful sides. The wine list is extensive and well-curated, offering something to pair with every dish. To top it off, the service is impeccable (thank you, Shayla!) making for a truly memorable dining experience. The price point is on par with Gibson’s or another high end steakhouse but offers unique flavors you won’t find anywhere else.

Upscale Mexican steakhouse, unique combination, phenomenal food, I love it when a restaurant makes the small things like chips and salsa into an elevated experience.

We attended a true to the core Mexican dinner hosted by Urban Bar founer: Carolina Gonzalez and Danny Mena, rep for Mezcales de Leyenda and Chef Jose from Weso. The dinner was called Tierra and represented the many diverse rooted flavors of Mexico (Oaxaca). This was the most beautiful, tasteful, and honed experience I've had to date. From the cocktails to each dish presented, it was spectacular and well paired. It truly evoked my visits to my abuelitas house in Mexico City, as a kid, and to date. It brought back memories of walks to the mercado with my abuelita and the aromatics that filled the air with fresh fruits, produce, and herbs in each sip and bite! Such a magical experience and one I look forward to trying again! All this whilst a live artist, SOSA, started to work on a blank canvas ased on vibes and sound of the environment as we went through each course and finishing with the most amazing. Chef's kiss to this event!

Parking: We drove around for a good 15 minutes before finding a spot, and it was four blocks away.

Kid-friendliness: Yes. Kid friendly.

Food was OUTSTANDING. 10/10. I knew we were in for a treat when I tasted their perfect chips and salsa! Loved the hint of sweetness in the salsa. Then empanadas came…another win! The steak tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had. Just unreal. Husband had a steak with patatas bravas which was exceptional, as well. I couldn’t be more happy to have this steakhouse in the neighborhood! We will be back, and often!

WOW! I came to check out WESO! Dear God! The service was great and let’s not talk about food it was just great my girlfriend and I tried la TAMARINDA cocktail. Great mezcal cocktail. Followed by some appetizers the tuétano (bone marrow) to die for. The elite ribs were very unique, very delicious. We also tried, the American wagyu steak and the tres leches to finish our cute date. And honestly I had a great experience. People should really check this place over all a great place. Chef Jose congratulations best luck. And thank you Gabriela (our waitress) also fenomenal. And made our date very delightful. ?????

My husband and I have been here for lunch, dinner, and have popped in a couple times for a Weso margarita (so good!) at the bar. Each time our experience has been fantastic, and the owner is really nice, he used to work at a Michelin star restaurant. We’ve tried the empanadas, steak sandwich, and the solomillo filet - all of which were amazing. We’ve lived in the area for 3 years and this is the best restaurant we’ve tried. I’m normally not one to write reviews, but felt compelled to share after our several great experiences here. I highly recommend trying Weso!
