This was my first time at Verdad, and it did not disappoint. The food was exquisite from the Texas Queso starter to the surf and turf fajitas. They melted in my mouth! The ambiance was fun and energetic. The service was top notch. I would highly recommend to family and friends for a fun night out.

The setting is always incredible and often the food and service is as well. Consistency is key to longevity in restaurant options so sharing that was missing this visit. The waiter was professional but stretched thin. We had to ask for him twice and attention to details was missing. The food arrived almost 5 minutes after our order which suggests it was pre-prepared. This included seafood enchiladas, fajitas, and steak tacos. No wine refills offered, etc. I will return but hoping...

Yummy food that is well made; great cocktails; good service, great variety in the menu. The noise level is high so not really good for romance dinners but great for friends dinners, family getting together, etc. Location is super - PLENTY of public parking and the restaurant validates - a huge plus.
