    First thing, I noticed that Hermanitos was the service. It was prompt, courteous, and readily available. They were very accommodating when we wanted to switch to a larger table for a party of four. The cushions they provide add significantly to seating comfort. The cost of the entrées seemed high for the size of the portions. The price of the appetizers was far more reasonable, and the appetizer portions were large. One of our party members was unable to eat the food because of how spicy it was, but the rest of us had no problem. If you plan to go to Hermanito’s and you have a sensitive pallet, they can provide most of the dishes without seasoning. The sticky ribs are absolutely the highlight of the menu. The price is very reasonable, the portion is huge, easily the size of an entrée. They are absolutely delicious and I would go back there happily just for the ribs. Don’t miss them! All in all a pleasant dining experience, and one I would repeat.

    The food was amazing (scallop hand roll, octopus salad), the service was decent. However, if you are there after 8:30, the music changes from enjoyable Mexican music to hip hop with the dj …not my style and I couldn’t hear myself think.

    The food had a fishy taste, and the appetizers were not good.

    Went there with my wife, 10-year-old, and six-year-old at the end of happy hour. Got a bunch of tacos, avocado tempura, and a steak appetizer I forget the name. Tacos were all great, especially the carnitas and fish. Shrimp was good but not as satisfying as the rest. I wouldnt recommend the steak app.

    10/10. Both the food and drinks were great! The pork bao buns was my favorite dish by far. Ambiance was perfect for a date night!

    Delightful Mexican-Asian fusion with a really welcoming, cozy ambiance, perfect for quiet conversations. We love carnitas tacos, shaved brussel sprout salad, and crunchy fried brussel sprouts. Little purple garlic blossoms in the tacos were a surprising and flavorful touch! Music inside was too loud for us but patio great, especially the interior back one.

    It was my first time. Food was excellent. Music was too loud. They turned it down a little after I asked but it was still hard to hear my friends at the table.
