I came here for the first time a week or two ago and mostly had a good time in spite of the bar and bar staff which is beyond pitiful. I have been working in live music clubs for 15 years so I have an idea what I am talking about. I took this criticism to Instagram while simultaneously praising them for booking pretty good shows. I did not insult anyone, did not call anyone names. They (whoever runs their IG page) responded by insulting me and banning me. What a pathetic child.They've insured I never return. Good job. Great way to handle the most milquetoast criticism.How long has this place been open and they already can't serve half decent food or drinks. What a trainwreck.I’m sure the owner will respond soon enough with insults. That’s really gonna go over well for you! Keep it up!

Tap was out of order, canned beer tasted skunked out and old. Venue is very small, dive-y, and not the most accessible.

i love you so much but please bring the tacos back

Got to see my buddies band play here. Cool group of people.

Came for the Skating Polly show, loved every second of it and dig the venue too. Pretty chill place unless you're up front. Good all-ages vibes too when you can't find someone to watch the kids, or you just want to teach these tweens what punk rock shows are all about.

Great smaller-side venue, loved the synth atmosphere between sets and the hole-in-the-wall location.

Despite previous reviews and maintaining the old name, I don't think this is a Mexican-style restaurant anymore. I saw a performance here a few days ago (11/2023) and the only food options were ice-cold sandwiches. The bar was also not nearly as large or as stocked at the photos show. The sandwich was okay, but absolutely nothing special. Definitely recommend eating somewhere before coming to a show here.As a music venue it was alright, I guess. Space is small, and stage is low. No matter where you stand, you will be close to the action.

I came to a concert here and it was a great environment. Fun, relaxed, welcoming and rockin! I got a sandwich which was tasty. Their potato salad and chips are similar to great tasting northwest staples like Reesers and Tims. Felt safe and enjoyed the night.Dietary restrictions: Chef is attentive to your needs.Parking: Large parking lot with many spots. Van accessible disability spot is right in front of the door.Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is single level, no inclines or large bumps. Spacious bathroom stall. Counter height is good. Vibe check passed.
This place is not a restaurant they do not have Mexican food they barely have seating their page on google is completely false do not expect a nice restaurant

Music is the focus here. We suggest ordering food before the very loud music starts! Mexican menu with variety of meats and portions. Pork carnitas was too dry that evening, but overall good alternatives. To-go is a good option, unless you enjoy the local hard rock scene.

Amazing food, it's a bit pricey but very worth it. Street tacos are always a go.Plenty of drink selection, with reasonable pricing.Always great people coming through, staff is super chill and great to work with, there's always some great live music playing at the events.The stage is wonderful, great sound equipment, the lights and fog create great visuals for the artist performing, plenty of seating for those who aren't rocking up in front of the stage.Clean bathrooms ✅The owner Jeff and staff are always super helpful with events and all the specifics that go into throwing them. Mano Oculta is always a great vibe, and has a great future ahead of them. Stay tuned, Jeff is doing big things!Vegetarian options: Some great Vegetarian TacosParking: Decent amount of parking for the venue size, another parking lot nearby when the main one is full, as well as some good street parking nearby.

I don't drink, and a lot of time bars usually give me the ick, but the atmosphere was cool and welcoming. Came here for a show (shout out to Hematite) and the place was packed, but not in a "claustrophobic way." Everyone I met here was so friendly.The food was shockingly delicious. I was not expecting food that high quality and a menu that expansive from a smaller bar/pub. I had soy curl taquitos and chips + guac. Those taquitos were damn good. I'll definitely come back for more events.Vegetarian options: Pretty much everything on the menu could be made vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: They have options for meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans.
