Came by for Sunday brunch. Welcomed and seated by a hostess at the bar with a smile. I recognized the bartender/ server - Diego, from my past visit and so did he. A friendly guy with smiles who walked me thru his fav’s - which I asked for. I thoroughly enjoyed my mocktail, Tiradito de Tuna, shrimp ceviche, corn ribs, fish tacos and Tres leches…😋🫶‼️Great energy in the room with live DJ. This place wins for its “presentation” of any dish with flavors! Great food and friendly staff. This is my nth visit and will frequent it. Ty for making my day off…😉😋👏🫶‼️
Came by for dinner with the family and left very happy. The decor is beautiful , the staff very welcoming and friendly and the food is delicious. The ambiance was great as well. If you are in the area or in the mood for some good food check them out.

First time coming here. Came in around 6:30pm. The service was great but I can’t say the same goes for the food. Ordered Nachos and Enchiladas. The Nachos was dripping in queso y crema barely had chicken in it left most of it on the side very overwhelming after eating it for 3 minutes. The enchiladas was a bit disappointing because it came out soggy not really getting flavor besides the salsa roja. I did eat it since I was hungry. Would I order it again? No, I wouldn’t. The drink I got was a Berry Sotol Cocktail from Happy Hour Menu. It was decent.

The waiter's service was very good, but we ordered two drinks that literally tasted like nothing we ordered, and we had to talk to a manager who looked like Mario Bros., a man who doesn't even let the customers speak and is arrogant. He didn't want to change our drinks. I won't go back to this place.
So happy I tried this place. The food was so good, the drinks even better. Everything came out quickly. The waitor was super friendly and helpful. We had the raw oysters, guacamole and chips, ceviche, steak and eggs, branzino, horchata donut and tres leche. The hibiscus spritz and margaritas were so refreshing and delicious. Also, the decor checks all the boxes in cuteness.

A uniquely authentic Mexican cuisine with flavors that were vibrant, fresh, and absolutely delicious—every bite reminded me why I love Mexican cuisine. Service was top-notch: attentive but never intrusive, and you could tell the staff genuinely cared about the customer experience. Dishes came out hot and fast, with great recommendations from the team. Portion sizes were generous and prices were fair. The only narrow downside is that the volume for live music is extremely high so it’s almost impossible to have a conversation with your companions.

Delicious authentic Mexican food, beautiful decor, sophisticated chic ambiance, mood lighting, friendly service, and live Salsa music on Thursdays.
What's not to love?!
Reccos: their mocktails and specialty drinks; corn ribs; enchiladas, chicken, and fish entrees. So far we've loved everything we've tried.
Please let the staff know of any allergies and they will assist accordingly.

The food never misses. Highlights are the corn ribs and the carne asada tacos…but all of the tacos are great. The cocktails never miss either! All they have to do is turn the music down from the live DJ just a little bit!

We loved Cítrico cafe. I think the food is great. We usually come during the week since those are our days off. Although we come here all the time, today the waitress suddenly said they no longer offer lunch specials, only “brunch.” Even thought they were lunch special menus on the tables! We told the waiter and showed her the lunch menus but still she charged us full prices anyways. This was very deceiving. This experience left us with very little desire to come back.
