El Venado is a restaurant known for its cool atmosphere and creative outdoor seating. The food is excellent, with standout dishes including corn tortillas, beef nachos, and the Quesabirria, as well as delicious churros and tacos. The salsas and drinks are also highly praised, especially the HH cocktails. The service is quick, friendly, and attentive, making customers feel like VIPs.
