    Food and drinks were amazing and the place is so cute and romantic but the service is really slow. We weren’t in a hurry so it did not ruin the meal and the staff was really friendly, but be prepared for a more relaxed vibe service-wise.

    Service was not great. Took over an hour to get food out for 5 people when the restaurant wasn’t even 1/4 full. Server seemed annoyed to be helping us, especially when we asked for an update on when our food would be out.

    Weekend brunch: The average service was surpassed by the delicious and satisfying food, which alone warrants a repeat visit.

    I go to El Grito for lunch and it has been generally good. We went for a Mother's Day brunch and it felt a little sub par-the Migas had too much egg, and the tacos were so-so. Service was fine but there weren't many people around so was a expected. So would recommend for lunch, not so much for evenings/special occasion.
