About Conejo

Conejo is a modern Mexican restaurant that offers a pleasant dining experience with its bright, cheerful decor and welcoming service. The menu features a variety of contemporary Mexican dishes, from brunch favorites to classic Tex-Mex fare. Diners enjoy the lively music, positive vibe, and flavorful food, often asking for the trio of salsas, including the delicious sesame one, which is only $6. The restaurant is known for its great hot sauces, which add flavor and heat to all dishes, not just chips and salsa.

The food is generally well-received, with highlights including the fresh guacamole, expertly seasoned esquites, and a breakfast burrito filled with tender brisket, fluffy eggs, and fried potatoes. Recent visitors praise the best carnitas they've ever had—crisp and moist—and the mushroom beds that are fun to dig into. The sides like beans, rice, and roasted sweet potatoes with a complex flavor blending heat, coriander, and sweetness are also highly appreciated. The salsa fundido with chorizo is rich and filling, enjoyable on its own. The inside atmosphere is nice, and outside seating offers a great vibe with a pleasant ambiance and atmosphere.

The restaurant offers three complimentary homemade salsas, each with its own distinct profile, adding flavor and heat to dishes. The service remains stellar, with friendly and attentive staff, even when busy. Many customers mention returning multiple times, especially for their happy hour or specialty menu items. While the pricing is on the higher side, the overall value remains excellent, with a full meal for five people costing less than $20 per person. Despite occasional issues like thick, stale tortilla chips and less flavorful guacamole, Conejo continues to be a popular destination for those seeking a contemporary Mexican dining experience in a friendly setting.
