Where do I begin.. We decided to try this place out to catch up with a group of friends and we were not disappointed. The manager Chris greeted us with a smile and was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of at the end. The margaritas were AMAZING!!! Kudos to the bartender!! Our server was so sweet and we never had to ask for anything. The salsa you can tell is made fresh and I’m a girl who loves a good salsa with my marg! Everyone enjoyed their food. Overall my experience at Desperados was great and we will definitely be back for more!

Service is more authentic than the food. Was excited to try, saw a ton of awards as we walked in so decided to try something basic and something specific to the restaurant. First, chips and salsa lack luster, expected one if not both of these to be homemade for the posted accolades but both were off the shelf. Queso was ok, definitely hot which I appreciated. Tacos Al carbon were disappointing, first they were not hot. Flavor was ok I bet hot would have been pretty good. The MOST disappointing were the store bought tortillas, everyone knows that very specific store bought smell, I didn’t eat them. Rice was ok, beans were decent but a bit bitter for cooking too long. Husband got the pollo guisado which was the special today. This one I was excited about because why put something like that on the menu if you don’t do it well. Flavor was good, squash and corn in a somewhat salsa verde but the chicken was a literal afterthought. I understood it when I saw it. They put this on the menu to avoid wasting day old chicken. There was nothing “stewed” about the chicken, it was chunks added to the stew, disappointing. Very clearly the service is the highlight and to the restaurant’s credit why change the food when they can hang their hat on the service. Won’t be retuning but yall enjoy.

The atmosphere is great, dark and moody but also somehow bright and festive! Full sit-down bar right as you enter with table seating available for diners. The food is incredible, I haven't had a bad or even a so so meal there yet. The entree's are big enough that having just the chips and salsa with your meal is enough to go home full to bursting, don't know that you'd want to skip the appetizers though!
