Great place in the SLO Public Market. It has a nice classy feel & is tastefully appointed inside. I was greeted by the wonderful owner at the door and we chatted for awhile one day.They have a full range of Mexican foods and an expansive drink selection as well. The upscale bar takes dinning and snacking to the next level...so that one cannot even guess that one is in a complex.If one wants a more formal sit down dinner in SLOPM, this is it.Outside dinning is also an option as well.It is nice to have Mexican food done right in this market.Mucho Gracias!

We loved our first dining experience here! Fresh food, great cocktails and clean environment. Service was above and beyond. Pretty noisy and sound echoes, but otherwise very pleasant!

The margarita and the food have been great, In the past I got high end meat dishes and the meat was tender, perfectly cooked, I took it home for a second meal because the portion allowed it. There is quality in everything they do. The flautas are big and filled with enough meat for a meal and with a soda one can eat for less than twenty dollars.The bar has a good selection and good conversation if you are alone but I have been sitting at the tables.The decoration is modern industrial type (It is the fashion now).The door sometimes is kept open which brings in the cold during the winter, but I am old and feel the cold when others are fine.Parking: Free parking and close enough to chargers for electric cars.No valet parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible

My family dined for lunch yesterday. Prior to writing this review I tried calling the restaurant to share our experience but the call went to voicemail and it was full. As a business owner myself, I am acutely aware of the impact customer satisfaction, company reputation, and return business has. The highlight was what I ordered, the quesabirria tacos (chicken) and consomme. It was absolutely delicious, so was my margarita. Our son had a quesidilla, which was fine of course. My husband ordered the trio house tacos. He refuses to ever make comment or send anything back, actually we are both this way, but his reaction was uncharacteristicly negative. I then tried it and had to agree. We requested to order something else because the sauce on the tacos was just inedible and disgusting. Perhaps it had soured. My concern was that our waitress (M) did not offer to return it to the kitchen and charged it to our bill. We overlooked her repeated forgetfulness, the length of time she would take to complete our request once she did remember, but the latter was inexcusable. Perhaps this is the owner or manager's protocol. Perhaps this should be reevaluated if so.Overall the location is great, the patio is relaxing, our server was pleasant, and I for one scored on their menu choice.

Hadn't been by this spot before as its relatively new in SLO. I ordered the Asada Valle Tacos and they were delicious. Juicy, meat, a good combo of the classic street style onion and cilantro with a good salsa on the side. My friend ordered some smokey mezcal drink, and I had a sip as was blown away by the flavor.Great spot to grab some tasty food!

Really enjoy this new place. They make really good drinks. All the margaritas we tried were good. All the food items we have tried have been good. We especially like the octopus. The atmosphere is loud but fun. Will be going back.
