   The restaurant is really small, tables are super small - the fajitas were really good, drinks are ok - not sure if I would go back

   Food was amazing, portions were accurate and ambience was perfect. Our waiter was the sweetest and valet was convenient and affordable. Definitely will return.

   We came here for birthday dinner and the service was really good. The elote from the appetizers is so delicious. I had the California burrito and it was loaded with flavor. The drinks were strong too and tasty. Only complaint is that we reserved a month in advance but we had to sit outside because they had just seated people inside.

   Server was fantastic. Food and drinks were okay. This place has a lot of potential, I was surprised it was so empty on a Sunday afternoon. Pricey (in my opinion) for what you get. I’ll give it another try.

   Cool vibe, great for younger people who like the loud music in background . Most seats are outside so be sure to wear /bring jacket. Food selections /flavors were excellent . Was for my daughters 18th Birthday celebration with her friends so it was a perfect venue!

   It was such an amazing experience at this restaurant. The service was great. The food was wonderful and the ambience was perfect. The only thing I would say I didn’t like was the wait time. We walked up and put our names on the list and the origin told us it would be about an hour and a half wait time. We thought well we’re in old town so let’s walk around for a bit and come back. When we did come back, we still were waiting and never actually got called. The only reason we got sat was because I booked a reservation online and they sat us within 10 minutes.

    We were looking forward to trying El Sueno out. Big disappointment. Could not get a reservation inside although it remained near empty the entire time we were there. Waiter was lackluster & not very attentive. Forgot some items & dd not appear to care. Food was just so so. Won’t be back.
