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 shrimp cocktail was noted as tasty, but some felt it could have had more shrimp. The salsas and drinks are also highly praised, especially the HH cocktails. The service is quick, friendly, and attentive, making customers feel like VIPs, with many enjoying the incredible service. It's a great spot for both date night and larger parties, and they have activities for kids. The patio is well laid out with plenty of room to dine outside and dance, particularly with live Salsa music on Friday and Saturday evenings starting at 6:30. The atmosphere is lively and relaxing, making it a fun place to visit. There are also vegetarian options available, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible.
