Russell LAugust 24, 2015Chips are amazing. Entomatadas have well executed over easy eggs, fried beans. Cheeses are overpowered by the spiciness of the sauce but still enjoyable. Coffee comes with free refills!
Stuart GriffithsJuly 25, 2016Jean Paul (Weekday manager) is an OG. Great customer service pairing alongside a fantastic offering of food+cuisine. Something lowkey most folks don't recognize: Nido's mezcal offering is topnotch!
John BobeldykAugust 7, 2014Las Tres Amigas (Bloody Mary, Mimosa, and Margarita) will take care of your brunch cocktail needs.
top-notch, creative upscale mexican. strong delicious margaritas, but rest of the seasonal cocktail list also keeps up. weekend brunch includes different varieties of chilaquiles and highwire coffee.
Sotol is interesting, highly recommend the flight if you want something new. I had never even heard of it. Tastes gin and mezcal had a baby and named it sotol
carnitas plate is bomb. also the corn esquite (comes with scallops!) is a must – and can be shared with the table. top off with la fresita
J TAugust 11, 2017All the vegetarian options are good. The ambience at night is particularly beautiful. Great place for a date or for a small group.
Tania MartinezJanuary 7, 2018Real true mexican food, not americanized (you won’t find burritos or chili). Anything you try here is delicious. Love this place!
Fantastic cocktails, delicious menu - a neighborhood favorite and worth the wait as it definitely gets busy most evenings. Great service!
Paul GoodmanFebruary 25, 2017Everything is great. Try the chilaquiles. If you're into horchata have the black and white, horchata and iced coffee.
Mariko TamakiAugust 1, 2013Lovely date night dinner. A little noisy and busy but fabulous food. Sliced beef dish is amazing.
Finn BanburyJanuary 24, 2015The fish tacos are super great. It took a while for us to get our drinks, however the taste of the agua fresca was amazing
Tom CardenJuly 13, 2014Quiet and tasty Saturday brunch. Convenient freeway access. Great service. Good coffee. Delicious pancakes and chilequiles.
Its good, but a meal for 2 will be around $50 dollars.. so a bit expensive for simple traditional food
Simon GibsonMarch 9, 2019Always like sitting at the bar facing the window. Eat everything. It’s all good and good drinks. Mmm Nido 13/10
Frank KimOctober 29, 2014cocktails and margaritas were pretty excellent, too much ice in the margaritas though kinda a rip off, the guacamole was superb, as was the sweet corn, the quesadilla with red mole was only ok.
Kayla JohnsonApril 8, 2015Loved the flavor of all their food, but one huge suggestion--- get a couple heat lamps outside! Please
- Everything. Order everything. This place is such a gem!
Eulalia StephensonNovember 8, 2015Delicious barbacoa tacos and quesadilla yummy! Service is always pleasant.
Excellent service (everyone is so nice!) and food is really delicious
Debbie LeeJuly 17, 2013Love this place. Food, drinks and decor are impressive. Gets a little loud so get there early!
Rochelle StrykerOctober 11, 2017Excellent food and drink. Do yourself a favor and try the Here Comes the Hotstepper.
Dave Mullen JnrAugust 31, 2015Unique Mexican food. Great beer. Brilliant atmosphere and very friendly staff.
KJFebruary 2, 2014Pretty hipster ambiance with fancy (and good and possibly experimental) Mexican food!- Stephanie DarkJuly 17, 2014Try the totopos adobados: adobo-smothered tortilla chips topped with crema fresca, quest cotilja, onion, lime& cilantro.
Best new restaurant in the Bay Area. Simply outstanding!- Jim FazzoneDecember 29, 2013Negro y blanco = win win win! Half Haywire Cold Brew and half house made horchata!

"Love the salad and chicken tortilla soup borrowed from sister restaurant Tacubaya. The real strength of this menu are the killer tacos. All are good, but I loved the crispy beef and the Vampiro."
Brian Strauss - 7.3
"Pricy, but tasty (tad too salty). Phenomenal cocktails. Loved carnitas, chicken mole and fresh made tortillas."
