Try the sonorans. Sounds weird but they’re so good. I get mine with their trio salsa sampler and a jalapeño marg—ask for tajin on the rim.One negative—at the bar they have a photo of the Virgin Mary that opens up to Johnny Cash (if I remember correctly, might be someone else) flipping the bird. Just kind of crass for kids, especially if you’re Catholic.Parking: Park in lot behind the restaurant

Best place ever for mexican food and nobody can top them hands down!! The margaritas is really good plus strong, something different and unique. The place is just amazing also the scenery of the bar, the entire restaurant with the patio and the atmosphere with the workers.

This place has a great selection of vegan options for tacos and other Mexican food. Everything we had was very tasty.

Love the food here and come pretty frequently. Their guac is amazing and I love all of their vegan options. Seating can be a bit of a nightmare though as most of the restaurant is taken by two community tables.

Not authentic but edible. Tacos the size of cigars. Not worth $5 for carne asada. Carnitas ($4), nothing to write home about.

I came to Imperial on a recommendation and I'm so glad I did. All top scores...great atmosphere, killer service, and I think I may have just had the best coney ever.Lots of cool options here, but please do yourself a favor and get the chino sonoran. Outstanding Mexican twist on a coney. Tacos are also fantastic, and honestly, the bill was smaller than I was expecting. Highly recommended!

Great food, great service. Jaclyn and Nick were awesome tonight.
Had dinner and drinks on our way downtown last night, our waiter Nick was so great, made yummy suggestions, was super friendly, helped us get seated at the bar when it was crazy packed, just a perfect server! Food was delicious as usual and the different margaritas we had were awesome! Wish we lived closer

I love the group seating. Great tacos and drinks. I am not a vegetarian, but I have ordered the vegetarian hot dog before because it is delicious!

Pros: I love Imperial. The food is great, the drinks are awesome, and the staff are always friendly. Specials change monthly and weekly, so there is always something new to try.Cons: a lot of seating is community. I hate it. We almost always wait for a private table. It's also a popular spot, so expect to wait during busy times.
