    Our initial waitress (and then eventually waiter) were friendly, cordial, and helpful. They guided us to an alternate sampler lunch choice (street tacos) that were flavorful and delicious. The blood orange mimosas accompanying the meal were also very good. However, there was a family with a small loud child which interrupted the busy lunch crowd. They were able to get them settled and the remainder of the meal conversation was great. For somewhere friendly, unique, and different, I would recommend trying Alma Mexicana.

    Hadn't been to Alma in a while. We went to sit out on the patio and eat/drink while watching the cycling races in Winston. Atmosphere was great - chill and relaxing. The food was just outstanding. The Paloma margarita pitcher was so good and a great value. Everything was so yum. But the absolute best part was our server - she was so attentive and kind. The patio host was great, too. She checked on our experience, and made the rounds with every table. Just an overall A++ experience. I'll be back for sure!

    The food was adequate, though not outstanding. We had chips and salsa, fajitas, and the shrimp bowl. The portions are decent, but compared to other Mexican/latin restaurants we’ve been to around the country. Overpriced. Our server was very pleasant.

    Great food, and the service was awesome. We had a large group with 10 people and the server handled it seamlessly. Love the food and margaritas---and the outdoor space is fantastic!

    The food was awesome! Great service and the location is great with an amazing view. It is a good date night out and the drink specials are fairly priced. Our waiter was so nice and recommended some good wing sauce to us! Thanks

    Food was good, waitress missed one of our meals, didn't bring it till we all finished eating. Kind of a bummer. Other than that, drinks were good too.
