    Great service from the host and waitress. We were not rushed at all even though it was a Friday evening. Nice beer selection. Octopus was amazing. Shrimp taco was good, short of great (everything was fresh but missing something.) Price was very reasonable for the area and the quality of the food.

    The sever was super friendly, but the food was pretty bland. Not exactly what someone would expect from a Mexican restaurant. We went for authentic-spicy, and they didn’t deliver—odd, imo. The drinks were sufficient. I’d recommend it solely for ambience; however,, you’d have to sit outside. The indoor dining space was empty.

    Brunch menu options are not good. The server was great she was shading the menu as well hunting the food options aren’t that great. But I like to try new spots. The mimosas were good $22 unlimited for 90mins The kitchen was not accommodating at all. I won’t be going back. Or maybe I need to go during happy hour lots of specials I seen 50% off all margaritas

    8/13/23, I had not been to Bar Takito in the two years. I’m sorry to say, the food and drink is not what it was before. We had the corn with shrimp for appetizer, very simple and no flavor. Had the Chile lleno and the enchiladas for dinner. The enchiladas sauce was cold, the side dishes are extra. The margaritas are not as good as years ago. We had to constantly be calling our waitress if not she wouldn’t come to see if we needed anything. Everything is overpriced. We would not be going back.
