This was so bland food, zero spice. The meat was over cooked and dry, the dishes had 1 ketchupy sauce, guacamole was bland, the corn bread boring. 2 tacos for 18-19$.
Joke.

Great spot for upscale Mexican food. We shared the fish, shrimp, carne asada, and crispy chickpea tacos which were all cooked perfectly and on a fresh soft tortilla. The drinks were also delicious. Service was friendly. Atmosphere 4/5 because the acoustics of the space weren’t great.

Everything was great, and staff were really nice but we felt it was pretty expensive compared to similar places in the city we've been to. So you get an idea, our order of chips and guac appetizer, a glass of wine and a margarita, two orders of tacos (good but two small tacos per order), and a shared side of rice and beans came to about $130 w tax and tip.

Taste-wise, the food was delicious, and the drinks were very good. The service was amazing, and I really like the location of this place.

However, the portion sizes were quite small. If you’re coming here just to have a drink and a light bite, it’s perfect. But if you’re arriving hungry and expecting a full meal, even two plates might not be enough to fill you up.

Great happy hour! Good classic margarita for $10. And the chips were also very good. We then split two tacos which were delicious.

Had a great Friday dinner with a few friends. The guac and chips came with harder chips than usual chips, but it was helpful for the thick guac. The fish tacos were delicious!
The wait staff were very attentive, and removed my utensils before I could finish the guac...after I ran out of chips.

The two tacos I ordered took a long time to arrive and the service at the bar wasn't the best. In the end, the food was good. I might come back.

This place was really good, my girlfriend and I got the short rib queso fundido (which was incredible), the steak tacos were cooked perfectly and we got the churros for dessert. We want to come back for brunch, this is a must return on our list!

We ate outside in a group of five, aged nine to 79. Food and drink was great. Lively location at the corner of Dean and Vanderbilt.

Gorgeous team here and the food is divine. Sweet super lovely waitress. The owners let me in on their new summer cocktails menu tasting and they are yum! Highly recommend

We had a really good meal at this Mexican restaurant. We ordered chicken tacos, shrimp tacos, and a margarita, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. The sauce on the tacos was absolutely delicious, adding the perfect touch to each bite.

The presentation was neat, and the restaurant itself was clean and well-organized. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we especially enjoyed the music playing in the background, which added to the experience.

If you’re looking for tasty food, a nice ambiance, and good music, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Alta Calidad remains a neighborhood favorite! While I miss the pre-pandemic menu's wider variety, the current dishes are still delicious and consistently well-executed. It's a reliable spot for a great meal close to home.
