    We went there for my friend’s birthday and in reading the menu it didn’t sound very exciting but we ordered several things and everything was delicious. I would highly recommend this place. There is also a really cute outdoor area that would be great for a private party or a work function. I will definitely go there again.

    We went on New Years Eve. The beer garden looked beautiful, the heaters worked great and kept us warm and comfortable. The special menu for NYE was awesome and we were so happy with our choice!

    My family wanted to close out 2024 with an amazing meal, so we took them to Ocotillo. This place is a true hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious! Every single person in our party said their dish was the best meal they had ever had.

    Food selections were excellent and unique with many interesting ingredients or garnishes. Service was attentive yet relaxed. There are multiple seating options, bar, booth or dining room as well as the expansive outdoor area.

    We always enjoy the food at Ocotillo., and the value is fantastic. The manager is great, and usually find the wait staff very attentive and helpful. Our server last night left a little to be desired, as she seemed bored and disinterested in our questions and needs. That said, we’ll be back.

    There is one vegan salad and one vegan appetizer, but that’s it. I feel that they could easily add one vegan entree or pasta (also one of the pastas is listed as vegan on the website menu, but not on the in-person menu).
