    Absolutely loved this place! Very accommodating for our large group, we originally booked for a party of 7 but ended up having 18! The staff went above and beyond to make space for us. And the food was outstanding!! Highly recommend!

    We went for Happy Hour and the tacos and fried Brussels sprouts were just delicious!! It’s one of our favorite restaurants. Our server was amazing, though I forgot his name. You know who he is!

    Took a group of out of town golf buddies with a couple of wives. Had a great time in their outdoor space. Food was great & service was good. Only downside was music was a bit loud & hindered conversations to some extent. Otherwise, we highly recommend Alma!

    We had a group of 8 for a business dinner. Only two had been to the restaurant before and they just had appetizers, so we didn't know much about it. In short, we were disappointed. Service didn't explain the menu. Some food was too hot to enjoy. Service was inconsistent - took 1/2 the drink orders and left the table for some reason and then returned to take the remaining orders.

    The food was amazing , loved the whole vibe of this place . However , the service was horrible . We waited 35 minutes for a drink . The table next to us came 15 minutes or so after us and got served immediately . Our waiter was not helpful with suggestions as it was our first time . I would take food to go but probably wouldn’t dine in again .

    It was our first time to this restaurant and we were able to get a reservation last minute. The ambience and overall decor of the restaurant was amazing. Our favorite was the elote appetizer. Overall the food was good but not as authentic as I would have liked.

    Glad we gave it a try. The decor and seating was phenomenal. The service lacked and the food was tolerable to a point. The outside was beautiful and the family style seating was nice.

    Service was great. Atmosphere Very nice. Guacamole was cold and a bit tasteless. Presentation very nice with salsa , nice taco chips and plantain chips.. Tacos pastor are nothing like those in Mexico City. Margarita was great.
