    Service was a little slow likely to the presentation of specialty cocktails. They should provide both a food and cocktail menu when guests are sat. We waited over 10 minutes for a food menu to be presented by our server.

    The food and specialty drinks were delicious. The place is beautifully decorated and makes for a good atmosphere. The music is a little bit loud, makes it feel more like a bar. The service was good but we felt rushed by our waiter.

    Loved the atmosphere, décor, service, and of course the food! From the flowers that decorate every inch of the ceiling, the fun printed fabric on the chairs, and the presentation of the food, everything is so well thought out. I had the cochinita pibil signature tacos (which comes with delicious sides of Mexican rice and refried beans) and sweet plantains. Also the flakiest churros that melt in your mouth. The flavor was off the charts!! I'll definitely be coming back. Probably for brunch next time!

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Tacos del Cartel for brunch, and it was an unforgettable experience! The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by the vibrant, colorful decor that created a fun and lively atmosphere. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel welcoming and relaxed. The chorizo tacos were amazing! I truly enjoyed every moment.
