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 love the music, vibe, and flavors, often asking for the trio of salsas, including the delicious sesame one, which is only $6.
The food is generally well-received, with highlights including the fresh guacamole, expertly seasoned esquites, and a delicious breakfast burrito filled with tender brisket, fluffy eggs, and fried potatoes. Every item ordered, including drinks, tends to impress, especially the braised beef and Tres Leche for dessert. 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 so rich and filling that it can be enjoyed on its own.
The restaurant offers three complimentary homemade salsas, each with its own distinct profile, adding flavor and heat to dishes. The atmosphere and service are both fantastic, with staff being very friendly and attentive, even when busy. Many customers keep returning for the great flavors and welcoming environment.
While the pricing is on the higher side, the overall value is considered excellent, with a full meal for five people costing less than $20 per person. Despite some occasional issues like thick, stale tortilla chips and less flavorful guacamole, Conejo remains a popular destination for those seeking a contemporary Mexican dining experience in a pleasant setting.
