    Food was absolutely phenomenal. Street corn, Papas Tacos, and Ribs were all to die for. Music was 🔥🔥🔥 as well. 10/10, would highly recommend. Space is limited so accepting reservations was an absolute plus!!

    This was our first dining experience at Espiritu amd the food was good. A bit bold for our but not traditional. My wife had the skirt steak and it was good, tender and the sides were well prepared. I had the Aquacate as an appetizer and it was good but heavily laden with lime so the avocado favors were overwhelmed with lime. As my main I had their salad and it was good, but the dressing was spicy. Our waiter was courteous but when he did not order expensive cocktails his interest in serving us wained. I think he checked back with us once but he allowed us to check out using their online system with not so much as an acknowledgement or a thank you. I thought their menu was odd as other than the Skirt Steak their only other "cut" was a 20 ounce Rib Eye. Their Whole Fried Pecado was very large and suggested as a shared meal. So for a limited menu I thought their offerings were not well thought out. In today's culinary patterns they should consider some non-aloholic drink menu items. So while we were excited to try Espirito for the first time, we will not plan a second visit.
