Our mission for Trago is to provide an eclectic, fun and upscale, but not pretentious, bar where people can mingle and socialize while experiencing custom cocktails and tastings, as well as unique and delicious, shareable foods (tapas).

Our vision of Trago is a place to meet your friends and co-workers to drink, eat, and listen to great music, a date night where you can sit in the lounge area and forget about the stresses of the day, or a girls night out sharing a pitcher of sangria. It's a vision of sharing, community, socializing, and energy.

Let me start by saying the waitress apologized upfront that they were short very staffed so the food may take awhile or the service may be slow since the place was packed. I thought that was very sweet and professional for her but as a business owner myself, I get it. I would be shocked by ANY business that has enough staff at this point. So we absolutely loved the food, we tried so many different tapas plates. Loved the puffy tacos, the braised beef short ribs fell off the bone, the tostados were very good, the avocado loco was amazing, I can't rave enough. I had never eaten here but I can't wait to go back!!! Oh and back to the staff... they were amazing too. We actually enjoyed the small wait in between the plates. It gave us time to visit with our friends (who came to visit from out-of-town). It made dinner feel leisurely and relaxed. The do have live music, but we didn't stay for that. We will next time for sure. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

Everything about our visit was excellent. My only suggestion is that the restaurant should consider adding liqueurs, sherry, and port to their bar. A Spanish themed bar should at least have Sherry and Port.

Great service, the food was okay but extremely overpriced. We were told each plat would feed 4 people and that was absolutely not the case. After spending over $200, we ordered pizza when we got home. However, we would go back for drinks but not dinner.

We made a reservation so got right in and into our table. It took awhile to get someone to take our drink order. Once we ordered drinks or food, sometimes it was correct and what we ordered and other times.. it was not. The server said they were new and I can totally appreciate that but multiple things were wrong whether it be drinks or food. It’s way too pricey to be getting stuff wrong a bunch. I think the place overall is neat but in an odd location. You would have to know it was there to get to it or hear about it from someone else.

They were very good to accommodate our party however the service was slow and the food just wasn’t that good. My rice didn’t taste cooked all the way and my chicken was pretty tough. 2 family members got the steak and it had no flavor and was tough. My husband got the burger and out of 9 people he was really the only one that liked his food.

This place is my go to girls night out! The food is great, and comes out super quick! If u have never been I would go! The sangrias are excellent and it’s always super easy to make a reservation on a weekend. The only thing I would say is if u are looking to have a conversation w ur party ask for a table away from the entertainment as it does get loud

There was an acoustic singer which made it nearly impossible to hear each other in our booth, and we were seated close to the door as far from the stage that you could get. Our food was brought out at multiple times, so at no time were any of us eating together at the same time. And to top it all off several of our dishes were supposed to be vegan/gluten and dairy free and they were made incorrectly so they had to be remade. The food was tasty, but on the expensive side for what you get. We were excited to go there, but we will not go back because of everything stated.

Good, made from scratch tapas with fresh ingredients such as the chocolate molle sauce. Shrimp tacos with cooked just right shrimp and light, zesty sauce. Churros was made fresh with homemade light caramel sauce and chocolate sauce. Only area to further the experience would be expansion of the tapas menu (some of this within the constraints of raw ingredients supply being in the Midwest and also local palette limitations/preferences)

Enjoyed our first visit to Trago. Sangrias we’re nice and strong, chips and salsa and fried plantains apps were delish! Husband loved his Cuban tacos, my carne asada tacos were rather bland. Finished everything up with an order of churros, which were heavenly. Service was great, and atmosphere was inviting. Will definitely return!
