Reviews
"We had a wonderful experience. We got there around 5 and had the pleasure of getting waited by Nico. He was very attentive and took really good care of our party. Answered all questions and made us feel very welcomed. We also loved all recommendations he gave on drinks and menus. We will be back."
"So we visited this location yesterday. It was our friends birthday and we had done lots of research on the different local restaurants . Mula came up more than once. We looked at videos on TikTok and everything looked really nice and colorful and we love a place that has music playing so we were really excited. We walk in almost instantly after opening at 5 PM. The restaurant was empty. There were no no other guests waiting to be seated but one of the waiters seemed a little annoyed that we didn’t have a reservation. When we looked at the website, it did not state that a reservation was needed for parties of two or three. But we were sat, and our waiter was friendly and attentive however, something that we were a little taken back by was that at one point a larger party walks in and he comes back to our table and says, is there anything I can get for you? I may be away for a while because I will be taking care of another table which we fully understand and had no issue with. It was just surprising that considering how empty the restaurant was with other waiters being around that it wouldn’t be handled by someone else, or that we would be attended to by someone else while he took care of the larger party. We asked for whatever we needed and made sure to not bother him while he was there, but there was a long period of time where we all went without drinks. Nobody stopped in to check on us, and eventually the manager Memo stops by our table. He asked us how our food was, we ordered the Cajun pasta, the shrimp, tacos, and trompo tacos. The pasta and the shrimp tacos were delicious. Absolutely delicious and flavorful. It was a good portion. The pricing is on point for what you’re getting however, the trompo tacos were different than what I had ever had before. However, we did try to keep an open mind. We all ate off off everybody’s plate, and we all agreed that meat was really burned. On the menu it does say blackened, so we understood that the color of the meat would be a different color than the typical red, but there were lots of pieces that were chard, and it was just not that great. Because it was our friends birthday we had mentioned that early on, and asked them if they had any sort of little show or specific thing done for birthdays. Obviously, we understand that some of those things need to be paid for that was never an issue, but they tell us that there is a birthday treat on the house so when we are done with dinner, we ask, could we have a menu of the desserts and could she have her birthday cake? Memo said yes to us directly then rolled his eyes and walked off. It was something that was not hidden and was very intentional. We were very uncomfortable after this and after seeing all of the reviews online I can agree that the food is good, the environment is really nice and it’s a pretty cool place to go to if you want a celebration but I probably will not be returning as it was not very welcoming. I did not feel like we enjoyed our food, and it was had nothing to do with the food itself. It has everything to do with the way that the servers at management handle the guests. At the end of our dinner, I asked for the ticket and paid cash for the entire bill and the gentleman says okay your note has been taken care of, and does not return the change which was not much but it was just interesting that that was just something that was just done. I am in the custom of leaving tips in cash for waiters as it is easier for them and that way they don’t have to hold on wait to receive their portion of it. I did leave that on the table despite our experience but I did want to make sure that if other people are interested in visiting this location that they understand that you will enjoy your food. You will enjoy the environment, but you might not get the most welcoming of staff to attend to you. If that is something that does not bother you then this may be a place for you if it will make you feel uncomfortable, you might want to consider a different place."
"We really enjoyed the atmosphere. It has that Mexico City vibe, you feel you are far from the usual. A perfect place for date night, drinks with friends or just to simply enjoy a delicious meal. Highly recommend."
"9/22/23 7pm The drinks, decor, lighting, cleanliness, and service were great. I did enjoy my shrimp plate...a little spicy.. but the plating of the steak was very disappointing. The steak was not worth the price..can't remember the exact cost but it was expensive. You'd have to eat the fries very quickly if not they will get soggy. My husband would've preferred mashed potatoes/some greens, anything other than fries for that price. We don't mind spending but I mean just look at the picture of the steak."
