Truly, a hidden gem: phenomenal service, one of the kindest waitstaff’s I’ve ever experienced, the food is fantastic—all made from scratch. Great location, great pricing for the quality, ample parking. Perfect for a night out or a quick bite. I’ve eaten here 5-6 times and have been blown away each time. Highly recommend. Ceviche, tacos…everything is fantastic.

I loved everything about my experience here. The food was delicious. The service was exemplary. The host came over and talked to us and shared a little bit about things happening behind the scenes. I will definitely be back to try more.

What a wonderful experience we had for our birthday. The staff was super friendly and provided wonderful recommendations. The mole is rich and delicious, the pazole was flavorful and generous. The team even made a special desert for our dietary restrictions. Will def be back.

We love this cute little authentic Mexican restaurant. Obelisco is a cozy-feeling family-run place, with friendly attentive staff, (Thank you Zack!), bright new-looking decor, indoor seating for around 50, and outdoor seating for around 10. We were seated quickly in the evening (Oct 2025). We started with rich fresh quacamole enlivened with onion, cilantro, and lime, and a nice bite of serrano. The freshly made chips are thin and crispy, with nicely lightly spicy red pico sauce and green salsa. We loved our strong balanced bite-y mango margaritas, a smooth rich non-alcoholic lightly cinnamon horchata made with house-made rice milk, and a wonderful refreshing house-crafted lime&tequila horchata! We had terrific perfectly-tender juicy halibut tacos, a sweet lightly flavored fish, served with black beans and rice and thin sliced radish circles. We had rich robust intricately-seasoned pollo mole, with dense flavoring and tender a juicy chicken-quarter. The chicken chile verde was a treat i hadn’t tasted before, chunks of tender chicken with some lasting heat from the tangy green tomatillo sauce. These two were presented rather simply, sneaking up on us with their bold authentic flavors. We happily stayed to enjoy their house-made silky creamy flan under caramel sauce for the lingering sweetness that matches our experiences here. Experience”s”? Yep. We visited three times during a seven-day trip here! Obelisco made us feel like welcome family. They are open during dinner hours, and promise lunch service soon. We got one of several parking spots out front, and there’s street parking to the east and north, with some competition from nearby places. This is great place for a casual meal or for an occasion.

It was such an honor to be invited to the friends and family opening night at Obelisco, and I’m incredibly grateful to have been part of such a special evening. The hospitality was heartfelt, the space was beautiful, and the food—absolutely phenomenal. The carnitas were tender, flavorful, and perfectly crisped on the edges—everything you want in a classic dish done right. The chicken mole was rich, deep, and beautifully balanced, with that complex, velvety sauce that stays with you long after the last bite. The salsas were bright and bold, each with their own personality, and the refried beans were smooth, savory, and satisfying—comfort food at its best. And don’t even get me started on the guacamole—fresh, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. Obelisco is clearly a labor of love, and it shines through in every detail—from the food to the warm, welcoming energy of the team. Can’t wait to come back and support this beautiful new addition to the community!
