I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while now and finally did with my daughters. The staff were amazing, super nice and our waiter was great! Everything from the salsa and chips to the tacos & burritos to the rice and beans was amazing! I can’t wait to come again to try out more food!

Today I ordered the steak fajitas. The meat was over cooked and there was barely any meat for $24 meal. It really was bland and had really no taste to it other than peppers. Big change from a few years ago. Update: I tried them again on the house with a guest. I was greeted by Charisse the General Manager, and sat at my seat. My drink order was taken and the food order shortly after by the waitress Ericka. I ordered the steak fajitas again hoping for a better out come this time. While waiting for my food someone from the kitchen came out and apologized for the past ordered and said they would make it right this time. Mine and my guests food arrived and my steak fajitas were sizzling with an abundant of juicy flavors. It was cooked just right tender and not over done this time. 10 thumbs up the the wait staff the cooks the GM and even the people cleaning the tables. I am happy to say I’ll be back and encourage others to try this spot out!

We were just finishing up as the mariachi band was starting, they were so good, too! SUCH a familiar reminder of a true Mexican restaurant. An atmosphere after my own heart. The chips were homemade and fresh, the salsa was on point. We ordered the birria tacos, they had tons of meat on them and were delicious. I loved that they came with rice and beans, a must have side when dining Mexican style. Dafne was our server and she was friendly, pleasant, and attentive. I personally thought the overall prices were higher than I like, BUT ... you get what you pay for, so we left satisfied customers and would return if we are in the area. ESPECIALLY at dinner time to enjoy the band!

We love El Beso but with the weather being so nice today as a restaurant you should be prepared to get busy and staff accordingly! It wasn’t particularly packed when we arrived. Our server Kenzie was so sweet and prompt with the greeting, drink and food order! But unfortunately we never saw again after she dropped our food. The food was delicious as always! But once our server disappeared and so we decided not order more drinks, we started observing that servers had tables ALL across and over the restaurant and maybe 3-4 servers total with some big 10+ tables and a good handful of smaller groups. We ended up flagging down a manager to ask if we could just pay with him. He also seemed rushed and then seemed to realize our server was in a completely different section taking more tables. I get it, we work in the restaurant industry but I think it’d be better to go on a wait so servers can get caught up and have more time with their tables. This definitely was NOT our servers fault and she did her best and truly felt bad at the end when she realized we had paid with the manager. Again, totally okay to go on a wait to ensure guests get that customer service and servers get a better tip. Otherwise great food and atmosphere!
