“Love coming here…my favorite sport“

“Fabulous food, especially if you have a sweet tooth. Always have around 10 specials. They also have creative give aways/promotions a few times a year. The owner and staff are very friendly. Today Susan waited on me and she was quick and very nice.“

“Only gets better with time. Jan 2026 • Family Still remaining one of the top best Italian restaurants around. The stellar staff customer service is amazing. The ambiance, decor and most gracious familial atmosphere is refreshing. The food is superb as always. We were seated in the private round dome room which is magical. Salvatore and his crew served us with grace, kindness and humor. Bravo!!!“

“Keep an eye open for this spot. Great atmosphere as you enter. Friendly and attentive staff that still gives you room to breathe. Chicken sandwich is great but next time I need to dig in to one of those burgers.“

“The service and the food is amazing. I highly recommend it.“

“This place is wonderful!!! Great food, and decor. Even the Ladies bathroom is chill. Shout out to Sam our server who was so cool! Definitely coming back :)“

“Love so much about this place, the food is really good - the staff are so nice and friendly. They make you feel welcome. Love our Sunday brunches here.“

“Outstanding! Great food and drinks, we are regulars. We took friends from the mid-west, and they said Margaritas was the best Mexican restaurant in the U.S.A.“

“Found taste house after work one night with my friends, not expecting anything to exceed our expectations but we found our new favorite spot! The scallion pancakes, beef and cabbage dumplings, vegetable dumplings and crab rangoons were some of the best and most fresh I’ve ever had. The drinks were exceptional (we had the lychee martini and a French martini). To top it off, the service was excellent, staff was super sweet and attentive. Highly highly highly recommend taste house“

“Went to this restaurant after seeing it featured on Phantom Gourmet and my husband and myself left full of good food. The food was tasty and came to our table ready to eat and the service was great! They gave us everything we needed in a timely manner. The restaurant was on a smaller scale but we got a table pretty quickly without making a reservation. We even had the dessert of the strawberry shaved ice which had a bowl that was big enough to easily feed the two of us and it was very delicious!“

“Superb food, intense and unique tastes. We are repeat customers and have become addicted! We always share small plates—two per person and a large plate for four people. This time we ordered desserts and were not sorry at all because the churros were perfect.“

“Paisanos is our family standard. We eat there usually once or twice a month and have been doing so since before Covid. The food is excellent - it is correctly prepared, very tasty, and the portions are more than sufficient. The menu is divided between Guatemalan and Mexican dishes. The margaritas are very real - made with real lime juice, Cointreau and top shelf tequilas. Prices have increased very slowly, so the most expensive dinners are now just over 20$. The service is fast and very friendly.“
