The service was fantastic here! We made a reservation and the food was decent, but my favorite part was all of the gluten free options available—especially the dessert!

Excellent quality Mexican food. Very good service. Can be a bit difficult to find parking in this crowded neighborhood unless you go early (for dinner). Recommended!

Dominic was our waiter, and he was absolutely wonderful. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our meal. We had a great conversation, and his authentic, personable nature really stood out. It's so refreshing to encounter a waiter who truly cares about providing a great experience. Thank you, Dominic, for making our visit so enjoyable!

We really enjoyed our dinner at Loco Lizard. Excellent service, very friendly waiters and waitresses, water always filled, checked on us frequently. Everything we ate tasted very fresh. Homemade tortillas, good salsas, and choice of refried or regular beans (would like the choice of black beans too someday). Loved the flavor in the carnitas and the fish and shrimp tacos were really good and juicy. The ambience and pricing were typical for the area, nothing super special there, but, we'd definitely eat here again if staying in the area.

We have been patrons of Oteo for many years. We were excited to see their new location open up closer to us. The new place is an elegant and beautifully elevated atmosphere. The food was perfection, as usual. Our waitress was attentive but not pushy. She noticed my hesitation on purchasing the Flan and got us a small sample to try. It was the best flan I have ever tried, although it still wouldn't beat out their delicious cronut if I had to choose just one dessert. The price is on the high end, but it is worth every penny for a special night out. The only criticism I would give was the music was set to loud, it was hard to hear the conversation at our table.
