This place is really cool all around. The decor is really creative and engaging. The staff were on top of our orders, refills, and water throughout the night. The plantain app and XXX roll were standouts for us. We were concerned about the noise level based on other reviews we read. While the music could be a tad quieter, it honestly wasn’t an issue having a conversation. And our table was the one directly in front of the DJ booth. All four of us would recommend this place for a fun, unique night out and will be back again ourselves.

As always, El Sueno did not disappoint. The service was excellent, the food fantastic, and the atmosphere lively. It was our daughter's 21st birthday and they brought to our table a delicious dessert with a cone of sparklers on it. Very festive. I recommend El Sueno for a night out, a family celebration, or drinks, as they make a delicious spicy margarita.
