We had an awesome dinner at Reposada! The drinks, food, service and atmosphere was all wonderful. It was a little on the expensive side for the entrees but the food was so good so we quickly forgot the price! The room is a little on the noisy side.

The manager spent so much time talking to already seated guests and would not check my party in for our reservation. He finally checked us in and told us it would be a couple minutes until we could be seated. He continued to ignore us and sat the other 2 parties (with no reservation). 25 minutes later we were finally seated. The server was very sweet but did not come check on our table often at all. The dining area was extremely noisy and very hard to talk to one another. After 2.5 hours we finally got to leave. Food was great but that’s about it.

Very unique place for Mexican cuisine. Our first time here and it didn’t disappoint. We only ordered appetizers due to time restrictions, I was traveling for work and need to be at the airport. But the appetizers are delicious, fresh and tasty. Drinks are well made too, maybe next time just need to add more alcohol.

Excellent restaurant, I try to go every time I visit Palo Alto. My personal recommendations are cochinita pibil and picante margarita. Great selection of tequilas (ask for the separate menu). Booking in advance highly recommended

Always festive with an energetic vibe, the staff were fairly attentive, but they seem to be short staffed. We ordered the excellent guac and chips, but the plates and service came about 10 minutes after the dish. Advice was limited and although the ingredients in our tapas were fresh the food was tepid and the house margarita was weak. I would recommend ordering in stages to control the delivery timing for a better result. Still very worth the reservation for a fun evening.

This restaurant is going off the boil. It’s now in the mode of charging a lot for a meal (over 500$ for 4 with a couple of drinks each and tip) and the food is very mediocre. Used to be great. Now it’s getting to be a rip off. Doubt we will be rushing back.

We got lucky, and were there when there was a smaller quieter crowd. This is a fun restaurant with Mexican food with a sophisticated twist. I managed to forget my sweater and received a phone call 5 minutes after leaving saying they had found it. Bonus Points!

We used to come here a lot before the pandemic but haven't been for a while. This was the first time we were back, and I have to say it was even better. The food was outstanding, and our server was very attentive and gave great recommendations. So glad to see something is still the same! I definitely will come back again soon!

Not the place it used to be. It started with a grumpy and rude host and went down hill from there. The menu is old and the better vegetarian items are long gone.

Party of six adults. The restaurant had multiple other larger groups and a private event happening on the mezzanine. The noise level was crazy high, we really struggled to chat over dinner. Food was average and really a bit overpriced for what it was. Menu allows for multiple needs, in our case vegetarian, no fish, and eats anything. Servers were good though. I hadn’t been for a long time and had forgotten about the noise level. Won’t be revisiting any time soon.

Food was delicious as always. Our service was very slow and as we were a large party they auto added 20%. Our server did not deserve 20% at all. I was not very pleased when we left. For the price you pay for excellent food, the service should match. Felt a tad ripped off due to the service change.

Service was very poor. Upon arriving we had to wait 2-3 mins for someone to finally greet us (even though there were a handful of people, host saw us but continued chatting with his friends). When we left, there were 3 people at the front but no one bothered to say bye.

Great restaurant with attentive staff and amazing food. Guac is a must have appetizer. The Carne A La Parrilla is a must have entreé. The only downside is the noise level. You'll have to either sit close or speak loudly to have a proper conversation.

I don’t live in Palo Alto, but whenever I visit for work, I always go to reposado. This time I took my team, but had probably the worst experience I’ve had there yet. It wasn’t terrible, but the food was definitely not as good and neither was the service. I know this is the case with many restaurants, post pandemic, but it’s just unfortunate.

A pretty lively restaurant, with well set out tables. So although pretty full, there was still room to move around. The food had wonderful flavors was plentiful, definitely a lovely experience of Mexican food. The staff was super, attentive, but not overbearing, and willing to attend to our needs. "Will definitely be visiting again"
