    Great food; will go back. But service seemed slow and unorganized. They use the tag-team approach of multiple people serving your table. Also a shade pricey...$20 for a glass of cab? really?

    Espiritu is always a delicious and wonderful time. The bartenders are great at their craft and while their menu is on the small side, everything is made to perfection! I would recommended their Skirt steak and Aguachili Verde. If possible, I would suggest reservations to secure your spot!

    Our spot on the patio had a member in our party placed directly into the setting sun with zero umbrella or different seat option. The queso fundido was cold. The drinks were small for the price point. The menu was a little deceiving. We ordered papas tacos and didn’t realize they were a potato taco. Not the best combination. We wouldn’t go back felt very over hyped and over priced. Very disappointed.

    Went on a Saturday night and was seated quickly. Ambiance is very nice and food was excellent! Speed and service were wanting though. Would recommend going but will need patience. 25 mins for drinks and 45 mins for appetizer.

    Don't miss the queso fundido. The shoestring potatoes on top were amazing and really elevated an ordinary appetizer. Our group had potato tacos, the mushroom quesadilla and skirt steak. All were good. I do wish the potato tacos had some 'sauce' to moisten the somewhat dry potatoes, but the crisp tortilla shell was delicious. Lastly, the drink menu is impressive. We loved our choices and would return for the cocktails and ambiance! I almost forgot. Our server was delightful.

    The food was really good but a bit too salty. Highly recommend the burger and the aqua chile verde! Those were the best plates we ordered!

    The good news, the dry age burger was great! The noise level is 10 out of 10. The ceviche was inedible, very little seafood and horrible sauce.
