Nice outdoor seating area on a balmy warm day in June. This is a small family owned local haunt. Food is decent, menu is small. Margaritas are strong and reasonably priced. Food is ok, not my favorite but decent while drinking. Service is very good, the waitress is consistently attentive each time we’ve come here. Husband loves the rolled tacos. Carnitas nachos were good. Good spot to sit outside, relax and have a couple drinks. They do not rush you to leave.

We walked in, got sat right away, there were guests sitting inside and outside. A nice outdoor space for dining, we chose to eat at the bar. It was Cinco de Mayo, we got margaritas and nachos. They were quite delicious and we will definitely be back to try more of the menu!!!

My husband and I wanted to try a new place for drinks and apps. We ordered margaritas for drinks and they were very big and delicious!!! I ordered the nachos traviezo with Al pastor. You have a choice of meat for these nachos. These were very tasty but I would’ve liked to have tasted a bit more of the meat/sauce. My husband ordered the shrimp tacos and said they were tasty. The atmosphere is authentic and quaint. You get a lot of food and huge drinks for a good price. We had 5 huge margaritas between the two of us and food for $75! The staff was very friendly! We definitely revisit to try other things in the menu and sit in the outdoor area with warmer weather.

Definitely a hole in the wall kind of place, so set your expectations about ambience accordingly! The food was great, and the margaritas were pretty good too. It’s a reasonable value for what you get. I got the mole chicken and the sauce was really good. There was a bit of a language barrier with the server though. I asked if there was flour in the mole, and in retrospect, I don’t think she knew what I meant. So I probably had some gluten. I can tolerate a bit, so it wasn’t terrible, but this may not be a great place for people with serious food allergies/reactions. The refried beans and guacamole were great too. Our vegetarian friends were happy. I’d definitely go back and get a corn tortilla option. It was very warm and stuffy in the dining room. The patio looks nice, but it was raining, so we stayed inside. The food is definitely the star here.

Captivating. It’s been years since I’ve had Mexican this good and laid back. This is our second visit this week and after trying 5 different dishes we are thrilled to have El Traviezo in the neighborhood. Good spice, generous servings, lovely staff. A side of rice has no right to be this good.

We Californians are snobby about our Mexican food. This place is legit. My husband and I love it here. It might not have the most spectacular ambiance in the world, but the food certainly makes it worth it. We almost always get the Alambre. The Al Pastor burrito was very good too. Plenty of food, very filling. The staff are always super nice.

An easily overlooked dinner option, this small restaurant and bar delivered the best Mexican food I have ever enjoyed. While I have never professed to be am expert of Mexican cuisine – I have eaten enough to know that I will enthusiastically be returning here soon.

Simply incredible food, the best we’ve had locally. Everything was fresh and service was fast and friendly! We loved the drinks as well. Can’t wait to return to our new favorite local spot!

This is a takeout review. All food is eaten promptly in the vehicle. I ordered chicken flautas and a Carnitas chimichanga. Both were beautifully prepared, nice flaky crust and quality meat. And plenty of food. But I didn’t really get any flavor from the food. I added sauce and got some heat but I didn’t taste much. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 7.7.

If I could put 0 stars I would. Services was horrible. I walked in and waited over 5 minutes just for a “hello” and that was after being seen by the lady working behind the bar. (I was the only person there besides staff) They were way over priced for the quality of the food served. No taste, very dry, and BROWN guacamole (the taste was off and clearly old!) Few hours after eating I was sick. Very disappointed with these “great” reviews and will never eat nor recommend this place to ANYONE.
