We loved this place!! When we looked up places to go, this was in the top 3. My husband and I both got the flautanos, which is like a flauta, but more like a burrito, it was delicious. I definitely recommend getting one. We had a few drinks on the patio and just enjoyed the evening there.
Quaint, friendly staff, good food, quick service. Ordered the chicken tacos and the chicken tinga flauton. The flaunton was excellent. The tacos needed another layer of shells. Beans and rice were tasty! Staff was nice and friendly. Prices are reasonable. Will return!
The food was tasty, but the server’s kindness was the best part of dining at El Axolote. We ordered the queso fundido, tacos de nopales, and the churros with ice cream. The tortillas were fresh and delicious, great paired with the queso fundido. The restaurant also has an fish tank with an axolotl inside, hence the name of the place. The server was attentive, very kind, and the best part of the experience, hands down. Thanks El Acolote! 🇲🇽
Saw as a suggested place for Birria, staff was nice and friendly place is on a one way small street hardly to no parking found a place directly across the street for $10... food was not as expected and guacamole was really watered down tacos more like mini toatadas different tasting Birria the water also tasted funny, just expected more for the price
Overall I’ll give it a C+.
The ambiance is quite nice, the decor quite lovely and nicely distributed. However, it’s pretty obvious that they’re short staffed. We only noticed one guy at the bar who also served as a runner, and the waiter who seems a bit overwhelmed and forgot to put in my fish order tacos. By the time I got my meal, my friends had already finished theirs.
They ordered the ceviche and the carnitas tacos which were both very goods my fish tacos were just ok, I wasn’t impressed, actually, my friends think it tasted like tilapia… 🤦🏻♀️.
I didn’t take any photos of the food because I forgot.
I do believe that when a mistake is made, like forgetting to put in my order and as a result arriving late, the restaurant should have the courtesy to at least offer a complementary dessert or coffee, which didn’t happen.
I won’t be going back there anytime soon.
