On this evening, my partner, and I wanted to get a late night bite to eat. We were greeted by a friendly bouncer, who escorted us to our table. He then instructed us how to order, shortly after he then politely brought us waters,. Shortly after my partner ordered 2 casamigos alcoholic beverages, which were made by a short stature, blonde haired bartender. More of a quaint Mexican bar rather than restaurant was housing only a few guests. After tasting the drinks my partner approached the bar and quietly shared his displeasure for the drink. It being late we really didn't want to ruin our first experience and get too hung up about the drinks. The blonde haired short statured bartender awaits for the nice bouncer/server to return and screams loudly "he said my drink sucks." She expressed aggressively and loudly with attitude in a tone only a mother would use and shared her ability to make drinks and her invested years in the craft. She moved swiftly around the bar kinda making all who were sitting uncomfortable. No shade but the only one who will yell at or towards my man will be me. Once again as a woman and understanding feminine energy I reassured her it was no particular insult towards her drink. She begins to have an attempted yelling match about how she will cover the drinks, working since 7am and we can leave and a few other thoughtless statements. We were so uncomfortable we are going to escalate to the attorney generals office it was very frightening, the world needs peace and love not war. Our only savior at this time was South Street diner. Shake my head.

DO NOT GO HERE - Extremely rude staff, false advertisement, raised their voice at us and charged us $12 for St Patty’s $6 drink deals, no wonder it was empty.

Was lucky to randomly check this place out and meet the owner/chef Vance. Nice guy who gave me a brief history of the joint and told me about the Pastelitos, aka empanadas. So I tried the chicken empanada and it was DELICIOUS! My margarita was Strong too. Check this place out!

On a Saturday late afternoon, my party of 9 were immediately seated, as the place was mostly empty. Our server did a wonderful job getting our orders and bringing food out fast. Was very happy to see plant-based chorizo as an option.

Solid Mexican food along the Greenway and with a late night kitchen this was a neat find. Not all staff speak Spanish, but those who do will gladly converse. The sauces are particularly good. They have the right level of heat and tangyness.

Average food and drink for a decent price considering the location, but we had a surprise 20% service fee added to our bill.

Featuring authentic Mexican tacos, freshly made chips and salsa, and the best bartenders in the city. This place has it all. ALMA SERVES FOOD UNTIL 1:30 AM - including tacos, nachos and wings. The vibe in here is energetic, welcoming, and great music. They have live music or DJS on the weekends. The margaritas the best in the city. Favorite dishes include Carne Asada plate, Al Pastor tacos, MOLE ENCHALADAS, Birria Tacos, MEXICAN SOUPS, nachos, and great fresh salads. The QUESO DIP is addictive. We especially love the rotating specials - drunken shrimp (spicy) and lobster rolls in the summer. Also, they serve vegetarian options like plant-based chorizo, vegetarian beans and rice, veggie tacos. Looking for seafood- they have octopus tacos, fish& chips, shrimp ceviche. We've tried it all and always look forward to going back. My husband is from Southern California and its quickly become out go-to spot when we want authentic Mexican food. Can't wait to go back!
