The cocktails are unique and great, but do NOT get the Birria taco as it does NOT come with dipping stew. It is so bland and disappointing.

eaten here many times and loved it but yesterday was very disappointing. ordered two tacos. the chicken was ok but the steak was lukewarm and tired. the cole slaw looked and tasted old. it was my first time since the renovation and maybe it was a new chef or just an off day. but I'm going to avoid this place for the time being.

The food was incredible , cant complain. We got a little bit of everything. Def try the coco-lime drink. Attended the " all you can eat brunch" on Sunday and it was a cool experience. The food was always surprisingly good. TIP: order more than one item at time because it's Tapas style very little portions but its worth it. The only reason I give this place 3 stars was because the service was Horrible!! Our waiter, and the other staff were rude and told us to hurry up because we only had 45 minutes. This really took away from the experience. We were not looking to stay longer. It was our first time, and we disclosed it. I noticed that all the staff were this rude. The only person who offered a smile was the host at the door. THE WORST PART WAS.... there were only 4 tables filled at the time we were there. It never got crowded and the weather did not help the crowd ... so no real need to rush anyone. Food was great, service was horrible

This was my first time back here since 2019 and did not disappoint! Love the renovations and menu. Blackberry sage margarita was amazing as was all of the food. Service was very quick. Can’t wait to go back!

Great reno of this neighborhood fave. The food is tasty--fun variations of Mexican traditions. The fish tacos are terrific. The service was friendly and prompt. It can get a bit loud, but so does everywhere these

Went here for bottomless brunch…absolutely delicious at a price you can’t beat. Service is friendly and quick, while the ambiance is pretty uncrowded and relaxing. I would highly recommend the French Toast, Molettes, and Chicken + Waffles. Plates are small which adds to the fun of unlimited ordering. Makes for a great morning!

I'm sorry to give this review since I'm a fan and patron of this restaurant But. If u are closed for renovation please have the courtesy and professionalism to update your customers on your website. Phone number recording. Google maps. Or even yelp. Just plain lazy and unprofessional.

Second time there and probably our last. We made a reservation + came at 10 AM so there were only approx 5 tables total. Half of our food never came out and the ones that did took forever or were delivered to the wrong table. We noticed a steady stream of servers bringing plates to other tables, but not ours.We flagged our server and they retook our order but, again, items were missing. We were tired of waiting so we paid and left in less than 1 hour into our 90-min meal.This is very disappointing as our first time there was great. Even though it was PACKED, the service and food were great so I recommended it to everyone. Now I'm embarrassed I ever endorsed them. To add insult to injury, the tipping options started at 20+% (23 / 25 / 28 I believe) even after adding a mandatory 5% kitchen fee to the bill. Please do not normalize taxing and tipping customers 28%. That is exorbitant.A suggestion I have for the restaurant is to please fix your portion sizes so they are consistent and can minimize food waste. The tacos, chilaquiles, torta, and french toast were all similarly sized (tapas / small plates) but other items, like waffles and brussel sprouts, were not.

I went for brunch. Definitely go during this time. For $25 a person you get all you can eat tapas. The food came out so quick and was so good!

I love Burro Bar! They have a coconut margarita (seasonal, so you MUST get it when it's on the menu!) that is so, so tasty. Great variety of tacos and plates here that are unique. Also, I highly recommend their weekend brunch which has AYCE breakfast/lunch options!

Great deal for AYCE brunch! We made a reservation for mid morning Sunday brunch, but honestly we probably didn't need one as the place was pretty empty when we got there and didn't pick up too much by the time we left. We got a table outside and it was super pleasant - overall, great ambiance. The menu had a good mix of different breakfast plates and they were all on the smaller side, making it easy for us to pick as many as we wanted to try. The corn, Brussels sprouts, and potatoes were my favorite sides. The tacos were pretty delicious and flavorful whole the pancakes/waffles weren't bad either. Overall, everything was pretty well made, albeit nothing stuck out or stole the show as an amazing dish. For the price and quality of food as well as the quantity, I enjoyed the overall vibe and meal itself. The service was decent as well, although a bit hard to flag down for water. Overall, I would definitely come back due to how good of a deal it was, although it wasn't the most amazing brunch ever. Regardless, enjoyed my time and would be happy to return if I'm ever in the area again!
