    Took a chance for a last minute anniversary dinner. Great choice! Unbelievably creative cocktails, very attentive after, and really interesting Mexican menu. Taco appetizers were good, but the other dishes - mole enchilada and guava paste tostada - were exceptional. And the cocktail were so good we skipped dessert to indulge in one more round. Great little gem (in a funny strip mall). Highly recommend.

    Very good food and great menu. Good value. The waiter was very nice but wrote my wife’s order wrong and she ended up watching us eat for 15 min. Details matter - but would give them another try

    This was an authentic fun evening! Great for groups or girls night! Decor is beautiful! I only gave a 4 for ambience because it’s in a strip mall and parking is a pain.

    The food was amazing! Not only is it delicious but the presentation is extremely pleasing to the eye! Antonio our waiter is very courteous and friendly. I have food allergies. Antonio was able to recommend desserts that I could eat. I recommend Bitol to all my friends.

    We have been there numerous times but this was the first time we were at the bar. Caught the tale end of happy hour so the margaritas seemed extra delicious. We have been at the restaurant when it’s been very busy and so the wait staff is trying to do it’s best for all it’s patrons but of course that means service can be haphazard. This time around it was excellent since we were having dinner and the restaurant was only 3/4 full so as a result very attentive service. All in all an excellent time!

    Amazing mexican food. Had the steak on a stone too and it was delicious. Great servers and easy to park. Drinks were top notch as well. And the sauces for everything were out of this world. Go on Taco Tuesday. Great deal!!!

    Katia our server was lovely. Super nice, good service. Food was yummy. We got the guac...large portion of chips which I liked, fish tacos were fresh and the perfect food amount, not too big, not too small.
