    Good first experience at Bestito. Restaurant was nice and clean and had a nice atmosphere. We were warmly greeted and promptly seated on the patio, which was nice. Service initially was good, but encountered long waits between follow ups from our waiter. Food was good and prepared/presented well, but my food (carnitas) wasn’t as flavorful as expected. Overall decent experience and I’ll likely return to try something different.

    Our server was amazing very attentive. He provided really good service and the ambience was great however, a beef ribeye burrito that was well over $22 which quite honestly didn’t actually taste any better than a chipotle burrito and a lot smaller. It’d be one thing if the ribeye was so good that I could overlook the rest but it tasted no different than some carne asada. I don’t like to be overly critical but the value in the food was just not justifiable. Ordered Guacamole and chips, massive bowl with a third of it filled with Guac. It was a little insulting. Again the servers were really great, but the fare was just not. 2 rounds of cocktails for 4 with dinner and our bill was teetering north of $235 plus an 18% tip. The server was kind and comped some churros for a table mix up but won’t be coming here again. Far better quality Mexican at affordable prices.

    I normally love coming here. The food was fine. We never got our chips and salsa. Our server definitely had zero desire to be there but otherwise fine.

    We are frequent visitors, the food is always excellent, which is why we come, this particular visit the service was terrible. We saw the waitress once in about 30 mins. Brought drinks and then took our order and disappeared. Never saw chips at our table, or follow up visits from our waitress. A truly disappointing experience, especially when we are sips used to better from this restaurant, until this point, one of our personal favorites.

    Specialty margarita with passion fruit purée was divine. As was the spicy margarita. Fish and shrimp tacos were excellent. Table side guacamole is so worth it and the tortilla chips were warm! Mexican donuts and chocolate cake were warm and decadently delicious.

    Have dine here several times. Reservations are useless you still need to wait. Also, I notice manager running back and forth and arguing with employees. The front hosts state one thing and the bar maids state another. Definitely need organization.
