Reviews
"Great food and service. Atmosphere was great but you know those modern aesthetics don’t filter enough room noise, so noise sensitive people beware. Go at lunch or afternoon because the food is serious great! Park in the hotel deck. Much easier. I’ll be back there."
"The food was pretty good. I had one of the bowls with beef, and the beef was very tender and yummy. Other girls got ceviche, but they weren’t impressed. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Overall, the place gets pretty loud in the evening. We were there on Tuesday night for a girls night out, and we could barely hear each other talking if not sitting next to each other."
"Conejo had a great menu. Food was so fresh and good. Appetizers were so good. Main entrees excellent. Churros dessert out of this world good. They have spicy and non spicy food too and mixed drinks were good too. Make reservations as they get full quickly. We plan to go back again."
"We have been excited to try this place. We were greeted with smiles and quickly sat to a very busy restaurant. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. While the place looks great, we had a difficult time carrying a conversation due to the noise. We couldn't even hear the music. It appears this is an issue as we noticed acoustic panels throughout the restaurant. They need to hire someone that knows about acoustics to help resolve it. We started with a draft beer and a house frozen margarita. The margarita tasted fresh but a bit bitter; it was okay. We started dinner with the Queso fundido with chorizo and the beef taquitos. They provided their salsa trio which were tasty. The server explained each salsa in detail. The queso fundido tasted okay; the queso was a bit dense; we had to use a fork to scoop the queso as the accompanying tortillas couldn't scoop it. The tortillas were very dry; it was tough biting into them and they had no flavor; a sprinkle of Kosher salt on them would go far. The taquitos were also very dry and bland. I would recommend topping them with some pico-de-gallo in addition to the lettuce. We ordered the Pollo Poblano and the Costra (Quesadilla) Pollo Pastor Con Queso. The chicken on the pollo Poblano was very tender and flavorful and so we're the potatoes and mushrooms. Although, the mole marinade did not come through on the chicken and the yellow rice was unpalatable. The rice was hard and lumpy at the same time; it had no flavor. It looked like microwave rice. The Pollo Pastor con Queso Quesadilla was okay; it had very little chicken and hardly any cheese. We took off one of the tortilla layers and ate like a taco. We finished by sharing the chocoflan. It was tasty but rather thin. A flan traditionally has much more height which could be made for the price. We finished with two more cocktails, a White Russian and a LIT; they were as expected. We would have ordered many more drinks but while our server was very friendly, he was inattentive. Our drinks ran dry and we kept stacking plates. We had to ask a passing server for small plates as we were sharing all the dishes. We were disappointed with the place; the food, drinks nor service really stood out. Plus, the noise made it unpleasant to be in. We might revisit; although, my guest isn't too inclined to do so. Perhaps we'll try their tacos but next time we'll be seating at the bar and we definitely won't be trying the same dishes. I can't recommend this place at this time; there are currently better places to choose from."
"Had an amazing time here last night. The atmosphere is enough to get high marks, but the food puts it on another level. All the apps and tacos we tried were definitely ones I'd get again. A favorite of the meal was the horchata ice cream... Amazing! Would recommend the visit if in the area and even worth the drive across town."
