The atmosphere was amazing, waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful. The food was delicious. My bf was like who eats Mexican while visiting New Orleans (my choice). After, he was like that was awesome. We loved the authentic Mexican food therefore it will be on my must places to eat while in town. Loved it 5 stars!!!

I found Espiritu to be a fun place to eat. The decor is lively and well done. The staff is friendly and attentive and the food is good. They have a wide variety of Latin American dishes and a full cocktail bar. I really liked the fish tacos and the margarita.

Delicious, creative meal in a place with a nice chill vibe. Cocktails were good. Everything we ate was yum. Don’t miss out on ordering the pickled vegetables – unexpected and very tasty. It was easy to eat gluten free here. I didn’t have them, but even the fried fish and shrimp for tacos are gluten free, as is everything that goes into the fryer.

Wonderfully inventive, complex flavors, and delicious food! This lovely spot in the warehouse district serves up delectable cuisine from different areas of Mexico. Their tacos run the gamut from more coastal, baja style tacos to central Mexican offerings. But the breakout star was definitely the Huitlacoche quesadilla which was just packed with great depth of flavor.

LOVE this place, literally felt like I was back in Tulum. Great food, very authentic, margaritas were perfect and not too sweet. Fantastic service, everyone was genuinely friendly and attentive.

Our server James was AWESOME!! 10/10! The guacamole was also fabulous, possibly the best I’ve ever had. Well mixed with the right amount of salt & lime. The tomatillo salsa was better than average but I wouldn’t order again. I felt disappointed with the tacos. Though the ingredients were good I felt they were lacking flavor and slightly dry. I ordered the chicken tinga, lamb barbacoa (my personal favorite), carne asada, and pork. They could’ve used a sauce or guacamole to take it to the next level. Overall good experience!
