We had such a lovely evening at La Diagonal. The ambiance and music was just right, but what really stood out was Vincent's incredible care of us, making sure everything was perfect, especially our coffee, which we both absolutely loved. Vincent's warm and attentive nature made the night even more special!

I love the decor and music.
A little bit expensive for the quantity of food they serve.
The crab / guacamole is very good ?
Staff is cold !

Before the pandemic, this was a genuinely good neighborhood Mexican restaurant. I’m wondering if the restaurant sold since, because none of the familiar faces are there anymore.
On my most recent visit, on the menu, they say they use Hornitos tequila in their homemade margaritas. When the bartender was making my margarita, I noticed it was a bottle with no label on it. Not a good sign. It tasted Ok, but I don’t think I was drinking Hornitos. When I was asked if I wanted anything on the menu, I said I’d like to order the guacamole and chips. I was incredulous when they said they didn’t have it this particular evening. I was starting to become uneasy, because I noticed several patrons getting up from their tables to either flag down their waiter or go directly to the bar to order another drink. It also seemed the person in charge was also the chef and running the kitchen, while running the front of the house too. I was hungry so I decided to try their pulpo (octopus) appetizer. After waiting 40 minutes it finally came out. It was a very generous portion, definitely an appetizer for two, but was completely bland and seemed no attention had been given to seasoning. It was quite tender though.
I’ll leave some other particulars out. This restaurant itself is very inviting and has a very comfortable interior. I hope they can recreate what they had before the pandemic and match the interior with their food and service.

The food was terrible. The server did nothing to accommodate , all she would say is "that how it comes, thry dont toast the torilla" without even trying to ask the chef. Drinks were nasty. The server just did not want to do her job. Atmosphere was nice food and service sucked.

Horrible service, extremely entitled and misleading waitstaff. I’ve never been harassed by waitstaff like this.

I genuinely have no clue how this place is rated so highly ?
The ambiance is cute but that’s where things end.
The wings are absolute trash & heads up, paired with sour cream. No they do not have bleu cheese. No they do not have ranch. Supposedly they don’t have any salad dressing but someone let me know if they see salad on the menu?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of sour cream so no complaints from me there. But the celery & carrots were the best part of the spicy wings dish. (You can see on the tissue that I didn’t finish the ONE wing I had in the photo)
The guacamole is a rip off, over salty & could use more cilantro.
Maybe I just had an off bartender but having worked behind the bar some time, the service wasn’t that great. It took me repeating myself 3x for a simple cup of ice & he only brought over the one glass instead of the two.
All in all, please go elsewhere. But this place is something you should experience yourself.

I really wanted to like this place and I’m writing this because it could be great. Cute ambiance, good menu but the music is so loud. I just want to be able to talk and think without base blasting. Please rethink the music.

this hibiscus drink was soooo good. My guest had a classic margarita that he also enjoyed. The music, staff & ambiance was a vibeeeeeee
We went on Monday with my husband. Lucky us we arrive just before the end of the happy hour ! It’s definitely worth it.
We also took some dishes.
All good.

My boyfriend and I went to celebrate a small success I had yesterday. We had the tuna tartare, the melted cheese with chorizo and some margaritas. The food was incredible, the margaritas as well. We also tried the tacos and an enchilada some months ago when we went there to have dinner and they were delicious as well. so, the food and cocktails are really 5 stars! The place is beautiful and very cozy. The only reason that I give 4 starts for atmosphere is that the music is very loud, so it is difficult to have a conversation, but we took a table outside. And I understand that some people enjoy loud music. Also the server who worked with us directly was very nice. However, the first server, the younger one, who attended us was very unfriendly. He did not great us, just took the menus and put them on a table. I asked if we could go outside and he did not answer, just took the menus and went outside with them. And we just followed. We don't require a special attention, but this kind of attention is very unfriendly and I had a moment when I thought: we actually could go to a different place. If it was not because of that experience, I would give 5 to the place.

This place was kind of disappointing. It was cute, but the food wasn’t great. The steak was so chewy, dry and over cooked. The tacos needed some seasonings. I ended up asking for the sauce from the fish tacos to eat with my steak quesadilla . It was also very over priced. I spent $15 on the smallest quesadilla ever. The fish tacos my friend ordered were better. Overall I wasn’t impressed.
