I really enjoyed their cocktails such as Hibiscus Margarita and Desert Rose, but I thought the raw oyster is a bit overpriced, even for happy hours.

This is hands down the best Mexican restaurant my wife and I have been to, we stumbled upon this place for our 2 year anniversary and the tacos, and cocktails were so delicious. It has become our anniversary outing spot! Will be coming back here for them tacos!

Bar Cesar is nice local neighborhood spot with good food and nice selection of tequila. It's a spot where, after driving for hours on a rainy night and getting drenched after parking your car, you walk in at 832 pm and though they are open until 9pm, they tell you the kitchen is closed and they kick you out. When you ask when did the kitchen close they say 830. Two minutes ago. A neighborhoody spot has to be warm, inviting, and dependable. This place is not that. So I walked back into the rain and gave my money to Doña, which is now my go-to neighborhood spot. They keep their kitchen open until posted ours, in this case 9pm.

Great local Bar, very lively with a mature crowd. Good music.Tasty fresh food + satisfying portions.Worth the try!
I had hoped this would be as good as the original location, but not quite. AMAZING DESSERTS, service is wonderful, atmosphere fun, just wish there were less fried things available and more tapas.Vegetarian options: Let's get more vegan/dairy free options. SALAD DOESN'T COUNT.

Love this local bar with great food. Best of all they are so friendly and I love the open windows.
