    Outstanding food. Hospitality crew (hostess, server, bartender) are second to none.

    We went to Hermanito for happy hour and had a wonderful experience. Could've had better wait service, but overall it was very enjoyable.

    Delicious food and cocktails! The sticky ribs and potato flautas were superb. Can’t wait to return and try more of the menu.

    We received excellent service as we arrived and ordered our food and drinks. CJ was wonderful and patient as he explained the variety of menu and drink options. The food was delicious and the drinks were tasty. The sticky ribs had an amazing flavor and were not too spicy for us. The guacamole was delicious and had a beautiful presentation. We are so glad we chose Hermanitos for lunch!

    First thing, I noticed that Hermanitos was the service. It was prompt, courteous, and readily available. They were very accommodating when we wanted to switch to a larger table for a party of four. The cushions they provide add significantly to seating comfort. The cost of the entrées seemed high for the size of the portions. The price of the appetizers was far more reasonable, and the appetizer portions were large. One of our party members was unable to eat the food because of how spicy it was, but the rest of us had no problem. If you plan to go to Hermanito’s and you have a sensitive pallet, they can provide most of the dishes without seasoning. The sticky ribs are absolutely the highlight of the menu. The price is very reasonable, the portion is huge, easily the size of an entrée. They are absolutely delicious and I would go back there happily just for the ribs. Don’t miss them! All in all a pleasant dining experience, and one I would repeat.

    The food was amazing (scallop hand roll, octopus salad), the service was decent. However, if you are there after 8:30, the music changes from enjoyable Mexican music to hip hop with the dj …not my style and I couldn’t hear myself think.

    Went there with my wife, 10-year-old, and six-year-old at the end of happy hour. Got a bunch of tacos, avocado tempura, and a steak appetizer I forget the name. Tacos were all great, especially the carnitas and fish. Shrimp was good but not as satisfying as the rest. I wouldnt recommend the steak app.
