    We recently visited Citrico cafe on Taco Tuesday and had an amazing time! The $3 chicken tacos were delicious, paired perfectly with a refreshing mezcalita (frozen mezcal). But what really stole the show was the live music - it was incredible! We definitely planning to return, especially for Salsa Night! The vibrant atmosphere and great entertainment make Citrico Cafe a must-visit destination.

    Food was great! The corn ribs are to die for. The guacamole was delicious perfect. Just the eggplant dish it’s missing flavor. Carnitas tacos were a little too crunchy for my liking. Music was good so were the drinks. Will go again.

    We usually love coming here, but today’s experience was a bit disappointing. Service felt off from the start—we sat down at 4:00 PM, but no one came by until around 4:20 to take our drink order. We had to look for the waiter to get the drinks. Our fries arrived undercooked, and when we presented our email for a free dessert, it took some time for the staff to confirm whether we could redeem it. Even after they approved it, we were still charged for the dessert, though they did remove the charge after we pointed it out. Throughout the meal, service felt inattentive, with minimal check-ins. We hope this was just an off day because we’ve always enjoyed dining here in the past!

    The food & drinks were delicious. There was a live salsa band playing, which was a lot of fun. The host & server were very friendly. However Service was on the slower end. We sat at the table for at least 20/30 mins before we ordered our drinks, when we order a second drink we didn’t receive it, and we also waited a while to get our check. Overall I would still recommend.
