We had a reservation for 12 people tonight for a birthday. We had called to make a reservation, got two confirmations, and even a reminder an hour before. Upon our whole party arriving, we find the entire restaurant closed. We called the other location who said they closed unexpectedly. It would have been nice to get some sort of notice.

Just went here for brunch and it blew my mind!! The service was perfect,and the food was epic! We are a family of 4 with 2 kids under 7 and everyone loved their food. That's saying a lot, because my kids don't eat anything

This is my first time here and I am in love with this place the food and drinks are amazing. But the best part is our waiter Juan Gabriel when I say he gave us excellent service I mean 100% the best service I ever had. If you haven’t been to this place you have to come here and ask for him.

Please update your reservation process. We have come here many times and have recommended it. Dropped so much $$ because the food is actually really good. However, we recently made a reservation for my girlfriends birthday for 5pm on Sunday. We get there and are told they're doing last call and closing soon. Honestly so disappointing and makes us want to find a new spot :/

We made reservations for November Sunday 30 for our friend birthday at 5pm. As we walked in we were told they close at 6pm. We ask the waitress how come when I make the reservations I wasn't told they closed at 6pm. That's really unprofessional not only that the waitress pour water on our glasses and it was spilled all over the glass and table. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I wouldn't even give them 1 star.

Was seated and waited 45 minutes to receive any service at all after waving down the staff. Rarely do I find a restaurant service to be that offensive. Other than that you can just sit down and order your drink and food to be delivered to your table based on the table QR code. No need for wait staff. Would not come back due to quality of food as well. Management needs to get it together. Big price differences between online ordering once seated and your paper menus.

Looking to get away from Main street for brunch, look no further! They don't open until 11 but it doesn't matter. Great food, great drinks, great service! We sat at the bar and Ryan took excellent care of us!! The brunch menu isn't extensive but it has all the staples to cure any hangover or for just a fun brunch! Bottomless mimosas are on the menu too! And there is a parking lot....praise!

I went with a party of four for Sunday brunch. After waiting to check in, the hostess showed us to our table and left some menus. My party and I waited for about fifteen minutes waiting for someone to come take our order. We attempted to flag someone down since our server never showed up after we were seated. Eventually, we used the QR code on the table to put our order in - figuring that service must be automated. We put in our orders and wait. At this point, we had been at our table for almost 40 minutes without ever having been greeted by a server. Eventually someone from the kitchen delivers our orders. I had a breakfast quesadilla which was essentially a tortilla with scrambled eggs inside and small bits of bacon - extremely bland and uncreative. We eventually were acknowledged by a staff member after an ENTIRE hour by flagging someone down to ask for a glass of water. I asked the staff member to speak with a manager and she immediately rebutted with "I'll help you now. That won't be needed." The food was tasteless and with the complete lack of service, I'm not sure what the staff was even doing in the resturant. I won't be back and strongly advise from wasting your time and money here.

Great food, good drinks, great service! The slushy machine never works when we come in, so I feel like they should just remove that drink from the menu. Besides that, the breakfast tacos are a favorite amoungst my friends and the Saved By The Bell cocktail is a must have! I love the atmosphere in here. Great music and bathrooms are always clean. Come here for brunch!

This is the IT place to be on a Taco Tuesday if you are looking for a hip spot with great music and great deals. $9 --1942 shots and happy hour all day on a Tuesday-- do I need to say more?! This place is trendy-- with the SOCIAL light up lights, the "***** don't kill my vibe" photo opp and the cute patio. It makes a great date night or a lively night out with friends. The dj on 9/13/22 was also playing great music that just made me want to buy more cocktails and just vibe-hah! I found The Social Tequila to be more of a fun, hip vibe then its counterpart in costa mesa. Service: Juan Gabriel provided exceptional service and went above and beyond with recommendations and being honest with us. He was incredibly attentive and kept the drinks coming-- he was speaking to my heart! Food: The menu on Tuesdays is select since it is only the happy hour menu all day but still great options! We were served complimentary chicharrons upon seating with various sauces to dip in. We ordered the shrimp, birria, steak, chicken and carnitas tacos along with the potato taquitos and ceviche. The potato taquitos were a great start. Favorite tacos were the birria and carnitas-- the steak was lacking flavor for myself. Otherwise, we almost passed on dessert but Juan Gabriel raved about the new york cheesecake and he was not lying-- DELICIOUS and pretty impressive! Overall, I was pretty impressed with service and the ambiance. We will be back to check out brunch!
Our first experience was just so-so, not sure if we can recommend it or if we'll be back anytime soon. and here's why: It was our first experience, after our neighbors recommended Social to us, we were excited to drive 1mile down the street to a new spot with a great name. So, we made 8:30pm reservation on 9/1. Making that 8:30pm reservation was our biggest mistake,so if you want to try it, don't do 8:30pm !! As we sat at our bar-top table reservation, we were greeted with, "hello, are you planning to eat", we replied "yes", and then came " it's last call for the kitchen". We almost left immediately if not for the fact our trusted friends in dining had recommended it to us. So, we decided to stick it out after the cold reception. Despite the opening greeting from the bartender, the food (wygu skirt steak and tacos) was good and the craft cocktails were nicely made with attention to detail. The decor is comfortable and despite it being relatively empty, you can envision what it would be like if it was full of ppl. The food came out 5-7 minutes apart and that was very disappointing as my wife's tacos sat getting cold as we waited for what seemed an eternity. Certainly, the plates could have been timed better and could have absolutely come out together. Why the tacos were brought out 5-7 minutes before the Wygu steak, we have no clue. This goes into the focus being on closing the restaurant versus the guest experience. Again, this was our 1s experience, and that's why it was 2 stars vs 5 stars. A cold greeting from staff in an empty restaurant and split food delivery. Not much else to say about our 1st experience at Social. Constructive criticisms: Enlarge the print on the menu, the clientele you seek with deep pockets wear glasses. Even the guests next to us could t read the menu print. if employees (2) are at the bar after work, they should be welcoming to new guests, building new relationships and not side-eying them. There was a golden opportunity to build new relationships as we sat next to the off-work staff as we watched them go behind the bar to make drinks and sit back down next to us, not even smiling at us or saying hello. When we return to a restaurant, it's for the staff and the relationships we make, which is exactly why we make bar top reservations. There wasn't a single interaction to build a relationship, not from the off-work staff sitting next to us, nor the bartending staff. Except the bar-back, he was cool, personable, and was the only employee to share an open conversation with us as we laughed about putting a nug in the dry ice vape. Needless to say, there were many opportunities to make our 1st experience much warmer and much more "Social".

Part of the Walmart Neighborhood Market shopping center. Parking was pretty packed for a Sun morning. We came for brunch and had a reservation. Indoor and outdoor seating. Would be 5 stars if not for extremely slow service. Friendly service, though! Granted, we had a large party, but it was still frustrating how slow it was. Wife and I split the chorizo hash (comes with flour tortillas) and bacon breakfast burrito (comes with little salad and salsa). Also got bottomless mimosas for $24 per person and they left the bottle and juice carafe at the table. Everything was great! Reasonably priced overall.

came here for a weekend brunch! interior is very nice & tulum inspired our original waitress only came to our table in the beginning and introduced herself, gave us our waters and never came back. another waiter stepped in and took our orders & gave us recommendations so we ordered the: * espresso martini * chilaquiles + carnitas - the worst dish we got and carnitas were an additional $7. tortillas were soggy, not much flavor unless u added a bit of everything to each bite * back from vacay burger - burger was just okay, but the fries that came with it was great! * borracho french toast - best dish we had! it's def one of the most popular items on the menu. i would come back just to get this dish again!

The atmosphere of this restaurant is as refreshing as the beverages they serve. The Ceviche is dynamite!

Went to Huntington Beach w the family and I remember I had this on my to eat list so we decided to give it a try. Very small and cute place to have dinner. Corn is a must to get and the drinks were great as well. I got the kiwi tequila drink..forgot the name. The tacos are a hard pass and very pricey for the quality. We got stale chips twice. So I didn't even bother to bring it up again. Service was good tho. If your in the area come for some drinks and appetizers and eat a course somewhere else.
