Food was very good and creative, but kitchen did not get our meals out at the same time - a 10 minute gap - so very poor planning. We were not offered any consolation for the miss even though one in our party essentially finished before the others started. This is restauranting 101. Over all we'd try it again and see if things work out better a second time.

It sits in the Skydeck in Del Mar and you are able to eat indoor or outdoors with a slight views it’s a great location. Service was very good. It took a bit long to get our drinks but overall a wonderful experience.

The food and the service are top-notch. I tried the chicken mole taco and the mahi taco and both were delicious. Our server recommended the spicy watermelon margarita and while I don't normally care for spicy drinks, this margarita was fantastic! I will definitely be returning.

Arrachera and Al Pastor tacos are really good. The mole enchilada is a bit too sweet and lacked flavor. The 50/50 michelada was not good at all. I recommend the churros with ice cream. This is a good place to meet up for happy hour.

Service was slow. After the waitress took our order we only saw her once. Never came back to see if we wanted more drinks. Didn’t check on us. Asked for water, didn’t happen. They were not busy so not sure what the issue was. Food was good and sitting outside was nice. Not sure if I’ll repeat

Usually, when a Mexican restaurant attempts to fancy up a taco it's a major failure. But not Urbana not only are the tacos Instagram worthy, but they taste like something I'd eat in Mexico City. Authentic flavors, handmade tortillas, and delicious cocktails are what makes this place so great. This is my go-to for date night and casual tasty fun with friends!

The drinks were good, the tacos were good, normally in Mexican cuisine we enjoy an assortment of salsas but this place didn’t have them…the mole was good. The service was great. The flan, too dense for my taste.

The service was great - the waitress was very friendly and helpful. The appetizers were good and they came out in a decent amount of time. The food was very good though the dishes came out very spread out in time. Mine was good, but cold by the time I waited until everyone got their dish before I started eating. I think everyone was happy with their food and the overall experience.

Overall, it was a great experience. Food (trio ceviche, enchiladas suizas and mole enchiladas) and drinks (aguas frescas) were great and the bread pudding dessert was outstanding! My husband found the chairs uncomfortable and the tables to be a bit small for his liking.

Only my 2nd time here, both times have been for family get togethers. This time I made a reservation to plan ahead. The ambiance, food and service has been too notch every time. Our waiter was attentive, friendly and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for being such an amazing host. We will be back soon!

Urbana has a cool, modern vibe. It feels like a hip restaurant you would find in Mexico City. The Fuerte Margarita is fantastic. It's not too sweet and uses fresh lime juice. Their tacos are always on point with fresh homemade tortillas. My favorite is the carnitas. It is tender and juicy and the habanero salsa has a great kick. I also love the filet mignon taconwith crispy cheese and caramelized onions. We had posole last night, too, and it was comforting and yummy. Our server Alexis was fun and attentive and made us feel well taken care of. This has become a regular date night spot for us. Highly recommend.

Unusually empty at 12 PM for such a successful restaurant. Service was terrific-- which means they offered a personal touch, aware of us as "persons". Very cool for two 80 year-olds! Food was excellent. My fish tacos were, indeed, lightly breaded and just delicious. I got a taste of Jerry's Wagyu sliders. Yummy. I certainly would return to this place!

Interesting twist on Mexican food. Very tasty. Slowish service. While I parked, my wife and her sister went in to get the table. They were shown to the worst table in the place. Had to insist on a better table. Too bad this is still happening in 2023.

Urbana Del Mar is our “go-to” restaurant when we say, “Let’s go out for dinner”. The sauces are amazing, as is the ceviche trio appetizer. The Mezcal cocktail is so Smokey and yummy!
