I attended a private party on their patio. The food and drinks were delicious and the set up was gorgeous. The only opportunity was that there was no air circulation. No fans and it was hot! We were sweating until mother nature finally began to breathe some air! After 11 pm, we moved inside and the room was finally cool. There is no parking except a valet for $20.

This is not your typical Mexican restaurant. It’s more upscale which is reflected in the prices. Chips and salsa do not come with your meal. I ordered enchiladas and it was only the entree, no sides. However, the food and service was good. The service was almost too good…I was sitting at the bar and four different people came to ask me how I was doing while I ate one entree. The vibe is great though. Good music and ambience.

My friends and I were disappointed with this restaurant, despite our initial excitement to try it for my friend’s birthday dinner. We had reservations on a Saturday night, but it was concerning to see that we were only one of two tables in the entire restaurant. The waitress only visited our table three times – to take our orders for the appetizer, entree, and to pay – without offering any refills on water or drinks throughout our dining experience. Overall, we found this restaurant to be overrated on many levels.The Chicharrón de Arrachera dish was large enough for sharing, but the meat lacked seasoning and appeared to be reheated, resulting in a rubbery texture. However, the poblano rice was well-balanced and flavorful. The Sabana de Invierno dish was overly saturated in salsa, and the “Heartbrand beef sirloin” tasted like an overcooked meatloaf. The pricing was misleading as we were charged for guacamole that was never served, and we were also billed for extra tostadas that we did not order. It is crucial for all eating establishments to prioritize honesty with their customers. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this restaurant despite my initial desire to enjoy it. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.

Been here before and sat outside. They played live music and the service was great. Came back again for dinner and drinks, and we sat at the bar. The bartenders were so friendly, helpful to us giving recommendations for drinks and food, and everything came out really delicious. You could tell they were busy (prime time on a Friday night) but they didn’t miss a beat, everything came timely and they checked in frequently with us. We’ll definitely be back!

Really great Mexican restaurant that offers some off the normal food selections. I had the enchiladas with Mole sauce and a drink similar to a horchata that was terrific! The staff was very friendly and the actual building was really cool with a nice outside patio. Short walk from the Grand Hyatt and Marriott hotels.

It was our first time and the food tasted very good, only the meat (Arrachera )are very stingy, the first photo is of the restaurant, the second is a sample of how they can improve it, the onion looked like very poor hair. i felt like i was robbed

Prior to an event we decided to eat at Cuishe Cocina Mexicana in St. Pauls square. We were pleasantly surprised that the decor, vibe and FOOD was directly out of Mexico City or “DF”. Raul was our server who was kind, attentive and extremely professional. His knowledge of the menu and drinks was spot on and made fantastic recommendations for our meal. I had the arracherra and it was reminiscent of the arracherra in DF and I am sad that I did not get the frijoles that Raul recommended. Nonetheless, our party had the street tacos and the drinks were phenomenal. Oh, and try the shrimp juice shot, which was truly tantalizing. We look forward to our next visit and make an excuse to go down there again for a great dinner!

Very authentic food, drink and atmosphere. Our meal started out nice with good service, however, we had the bartender waiting on us at tables. All was good until he got busy with making drinks and was so focused on bartending and making drinks for every other table except his own, that we never saw him again :(. A couple of fails that could easily be corrected: 1. He should’ve taken breaks from the new orders coming in to check on his own tables (including bringing me the drink I ordered, Checking if we liked the food and seeing if we wanted to spend more money… which we did but we’re unable to do so) and 2. His colleagues should’ve stepped up and helped take care of his tables.
