Decent food, great atmosphere, a little too busy for the staffing levels though.

Loved the interior. I had the creamy garlic chicken with rice and black beans, husband the chicken enchiladas. We both loved the food very well seasoned and good portion sizes. Staff were friendly and there was a good atmosphere. 10/10 will go again

I have heard a ton of people raving about Equal Latin so when friends wanted to gather there I knew I had to try it out. The service was absolutely top notch! The menu however? Chaotic and trying too hard to be… something?
I’m not sure what the intent is but I could hardly read the menu around the fonts and color choices. I had to fight with the folds of it and while not a huge deal it bothered me because I don’t have the best dexterity in my hands. Overall is not on the top of my list accessibility wise either.
The food was just ok. I ordered 3 tacos for about $17 and that’s all I got. No sides. The shells were immediately falling apart and an absolute mess to eat. Maybe it’s on me and my expectations didn’t match I just found it all to be messy, chaotic, and bland.
The famed “salsa bar” and lukewarm chips in a light and 3 kinds of salsa. None of which were exciting or inspiring. It was also another place where things were just messy.
The drinks definitely tasted premixed, which is odd for a Paloma but it was a light pour with a lot of some kind of drink mix in it. I don’t think I’ve had a worse Paloma anywhere. Including my own kitchen.
My child ordered a burger and it was also strange. They said they serve all kids food plain and dry but their burger had something on it we couldn’t identify and they couldn’t eat it.
Overall I think we spent about $80-100 dollars all in with dessert being the icecream bars in the case. For TWO of us. I wanted so badly to have a better review to write because the staff truly are fantastic, I was just unimpressed and frankly upset. I’m a single mom and treats like this are rare. I’m really wishing I had spent my money elsewhere.
Kid-friendliness: I brought my child but probably wouldn’t again.

Bad Customer service. Placed an order go and went to pick it up just to be told they were out of what I ordered. drove all the way there and they didn’t even try to give a rain check or comp.
Ordered a pork wet burrito with green sauce. Burrito needed flavor and salt.

I loved the self service chips and salsa bar, with the exception that the chips were a little hard. I may have grabbed a basket that was there for to long though.
The flavor is good, and the salsas are yummy!
Service was great! I had a custom mango jalapeño margarita that was to die for!

Margaritas were great. Service slow. Food, I wouldn’t bother. Chips for salsa stale. Chimichanga was disappointing. Mostly rice inside, gave it back. Enchiladas were not good.

This is the best Mexican food I’ve ever had inside the US. The tortillas were homemade, everything was so flavorful, and the atmosphere was so friendly and social!!

Good! The chips/salsa self serve is a hassle is my only complaint, too many choices, not enough hands.

Nice bar, but I haven't had such authentically bad Chili Rellenos since I was in Mexico! Little hocky puck-itos. The beans and rice were excellent though. And the beer was cold. So there's that.... I'll probably go back, just because I'm an optimist. Maybe the cook just had a really, really, really bad weekend. Que Lastima!!
