We had another nice evening here before going to a show at the Paramount. My wife had enchiladas suizas and I had enchiladas mixtos. We also enjoyed a few house maragaritas (frozen) which were excellent. Service was friendly and very attentive.

Besito serves below average Mexican Food with high prices. We think the bar scene and interesting cocktails must be what keeps this restaurant going. The carne asada was overcooked. The cheese was burned to the pan making it impossible to enjoy. It was way over salted. The shrimp tacos for $20 were tiny. Great salsa and chips!

Went for lunch for my moms birthday. Food was excellent. Ambiance is very nice. Service seemed a little rushed although they weren’t trying to kick us out of our table once we paid. Everything just came out really quickly & we hadn’t even really finished our guacamole when they were looking to remove it from the table because our entrees were ready. We were given a complimentary piece of delicious tres leches cake with a candle for her birthday which was a very nice touch. Overall an excellent experience.
