Great foo! We are from out of town and server could have been more informative. Enjoyable place for dinner and drinks!
Great meal, though the non-service dog who wandered into our dining space was an unforced error. Your website clearly states the patio is not pet-friendly, so why was a family pet present? Please, no non-service animals in food service spaces.
Our waiter was horrible. He didnt clear the table. We had to go find plates for our appetizers. Worst service i have ever had there
Great atmosphere and service. Sat outside. Music was a little loud but overall a great evening experience
We have been wanting to try El Alma for awhile. Love that you can make a reservation. Great happy hour options. The margaritas and food did not disappoint! We will be back
Great service in hospitality and paying attention to our needs. Awesome food and glad when doing brunch still serve regular menu as well.
Excellent and creative TexMex food. We tried two kinds of enchiladas both of which were excellent. Service is spectacular. However, the noise level got high and we had trouble hearing one another after 6:30 p.m.
Chips and salsa are the absolute best thing, then the drinks are very delicious as well. My chicken mole was dry, fish taco was too runny and disintegrated so very messy. Salad was great.
We had a great salad and redfish filet. The lamb dish was phenomenal. Plantains are the best.
Food is SO delicious every time we come here. The servers and host were exceptionally helpful since we had to change our reservation a few times due to a late guest arriving. Great spot that doesn't disappoint!

Jonathan was fantastic! Menu was mildly difficult to understand but service and food were great!
Solid, with room for improvement. Food - excellent, with creative, well-executed dishes. Loved the shredded duck and the hangar steak. Service - the weak spot. Some young dude with a pierced face provided cursory service. Didn't seem like he wanted to be there. Ambiance - Fun mixture of upscale and casual. Sat inside at the big table with a group. Value - Food is a bit overpriced for what it is. I'd return and order more carefully.
Always friendly staff and good food drinks
Our server Jackie was a ray of sunshine! Thank you!

Food and beverage was fantastic. Our waitress was very attentive as well. Lamb tacos, Mole enchiladas, and well made drinks. I have to give it 4 stars because the host didn't fully clean our table. It was tough to overcome that. I understand long days at work but, sometimes you need to bring your A-game for the whole shift.
