Iconos Gastro Cantina

Was there 12/28, this was a Saturday night around 7 for dinner with my two girlfriends. I had been there twice but neither of my girlfriends had. Both times I had a good experience but this time around the service was so rushed. They were not busy at all and the sever and the other staff seem to be in a rush to get us out, they kept coming and asking to take our plates away when clearly we were not done and was said to them on three different occasions when they tried to pick up our plates. They close at 1am and the server Isabela made us feel as we were taking up a table when clearly the restaurant was dead. We eventually left and went somewhere else because of the insistence of not letting us sit and talk for a bit. We ordered everything from drinks to even their bland churros for dessert. The last straw was our server telling us if she could get us “another drink, something else or perhaps the check?” Her words. There are ways of saying that she would like to go home but not like that, my girlfriends and I have been servers and we would have never given this type of rushed service especially with the restaurant being so empty. Maybe I’d give another try but my girlfriends were very disappointed and said they wouldn’t come back.

EDIT DEC 2024: This place has unfortunately gone down hill since first opening. Rising prices and lowering quality. This was one of my favorite places and now I just can’t justify going here compared to other places that are cheaper and higher quality.

Have been coming here since the restaurant opened and have even had a graduation party here. The staff are always really friendly and quick. Some of the food is really great and some of it is good only alright. The torta ahogada and the chilaquiles are what I recommend. Great drink options fun atmosphere and just a great place to go with friends.

There vegetarian Burrito is a total ripoff .It was filled with only rice no vegetables no flavor. I did call the server and so called a person who was managing the floor he took no steps to replace it.Not good experience. After paying so much had to come home with no satisfaction. Would not recommend

A Mexican restaurant, if you want to go for the photo of the food, it is perfect, don't expect anything out of the ordinary with the seasoning of the food, first ask what beer they have before ordering what is on the menu, they can always have a best service!!
We only went to celebrate a birthday, it wasn't that bad!!

Very pleasant service and a great atmosphere. Pair it with phenomenal tasting food and you're in for a great experience. The menu can be a little difficult to navigate, especially for someone who doesn't speak spanish, but with a little time it's manageable.

Parking: There is a lot behind the building but it is hard to get to and a paid lot

All I can say is this place is fire! From
Food to drinks…. Came here the 2nd time on 9/18/24. Order a Bombai and tonic, it was watered down, when I questioned it to the waitress she asked me if I wanted another one. 15 minutes later, by the way it wasn’t busy she (waitress) comes to tell me that they don’t have bombai, so I’m wondering
if it was rail gin, but I left it
alone. Food was good, but when I saw my bill, I noticed $9 in tax, has any one had that much in taxes???Wont be coming here again. I understand some places have taxes for their employees that I understand and you see the breakdown on your bill, but this one, there was none.

Went on a Monday or Tuesday night and it was pretty dead (weekend/night life/events looks like it would be fun), but that meant service was great. We got nachos and some tacos and they were both amaze!

Food is fine, a little spendy, but the alcohol is so ridiculously overpriced. $16 for a lowball margarita with “blanco tequila” in it? If you’re charging that kind of money for a cocktail, you gotta use some name brand stuff. It was $90 for my girlfriend and I to eat dinner with one drink each. That’s ridiculous for average Mexican food. Probably won’t be back.

Had a reservation for 7 people waiter brought me to a table big enough for 4-6 people. My family had to grab a seat from another table. We asked if they could push another table together they said no. Always slow service crazy especially when you’re the only ones in there definitely won’t be back ever. Fake smiles & terrible service. Your waiters need better training badly. Leaning against the bar like they’re aren’t even working had to wave my hand in the air multiple times.
