   It was my first time at Bar Ni Modo, I booked a reservation for my husband and I and I’m happy I did. The cocktails were some of the best I’ve had in a long time. I tried the mole margarita which was my absolute favorite, as well as the TQM which was sooo good. My husband also liked his cafecito cocktail. To eat we ordered the Aguachiles which were decent, I wish they had more of the traditional lime/spicy flavor but they weren’t bad. We also ordered the cheek tacos which were tasty, only thing missing was salsa, and the star of the dinner was definitely the mole. The mole plate only comes with the paste so if you’re hungry I definitely recommend ordering the carnitas plate as it feeds 2-3. We will be ordering carnitas next time. The ambiance was 10/10, the music and the overall design of the place really transports you to Mexico City. We were very impressed with this restaurant and will for sure be coming back again. One of the owners Steven was super kind and talked to us a bit about the vision of the restaurant and the servers and bartenders provided excellent service. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.

   The community table is a great spot for celebrations, caring and sharing great food and drinks! We went pre-show to celebrate my son’s birthday and then went to the show. It was the perfect combo!

   The food and drink were 1000/10! Service was exceptional. AJ & Jasmine took great care of us! The carnitas was 🔥. Must try the corn ice cream! Definitely coming back.

   So excited this place is finally open! We had the octopus tostada and the quesadillas which were both delicious, but we heard the carnitas plate is the thing to get so we will definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu. Cocktails were pretty tasty and well balanced, and the vibes were on point. Staff is incredible! You can tell there’s a lot of heart that goes into every detail. Definitely recommend that you check out this place!

   Reserved a table for their first Friday night. Ambiance was good, nice energy flowing. We were seated next to another couple...at first we weren't sure but we engaged the couple and had a nice time. We even shared food. But I was hoping to talk privately with my wife about some good stuff but had to delay that. The venue is small and thus the reason for grouping the seating. My wife ordered the Mole Margarita (recommended by our table mates who arrive before us) and I, the beer and shot. The Margarita was very different and enjoyable. For food we ordered the Mole and Carnitas. Flavor profile on both was outstanding! Strongly recommend both. The Mole is put on a plate and soft tortillas included for dipping. The Carnitas were plated with potatoes and ready to diy tacos. 3 salsas are given and the dark one was so good! Green and red good as well but that dark one...! Only complaint (and it was expected) is the pricing. Seemed a tad pricey for what we received. Again, we expected higher costs and it will not deter us from coming again. Go, Enjoy!

   We went to the soft opening & everything was so great! Customer service, food, drinks all 5 stars! We can’t wait to go back and see how they grow.

   We enjoyed our dinner and drinks at the soft opening for Bar ni Modo! We ordered the quesadillas and the beef cheek tacos. Both are delicious. The waiter recommend to try the corn ice cream and we were pleasantly surprised tasted exactly like a charred corn on the cob. We will be back.!

    We had an amazing experience! The food was elevated Mexican that was unlike any other I've ever had. The drinks were yummy and paired perfectly with the food.
