This is a nice upscale Mexican restaurant. It does get busy most times, make sure you get a reservation for a smooth seatting. The bar has an extensive list of liqour, wine and beer for any taste. There is a valet available and seating outside.

The server said T’ähä had the best espresso martinis in the city. They weren’t kidding. It was smooth and the perfect balance of flavors. But let’s get to the actual reason you’d eat here: The food is a wonderful, refreshing break from the usual TexMex flavors you’ll find in the city. Expect a prevalence of smoky tones and punchy spices. They were very accommodating for our large group (approx 25) and served us with a little buffet.

The food was the best!! My coworkers and I all enjoyed our meal. Warning: the chips are addictively delicious! I think I ate my weight in chips. You get three different salsas. But, the guacamole and queso are worth ordering. I didn’t try the queso since I have a dairy allergy. But, it looked delicious. I appreciate that there there is a symbol for items with gluten and I was able to order dairy free, as well. The Pastor (pork) tacos were perfect. You get 3 street tacos which is perfect after all the chips and salsa. 😁 The atmosphere was inviting, with low lights and music and it is tastefully decorated for Christmas right now. The server was friendly and helpful, but just wasn’t super attentive. I think he may have had many tables but that’s the o my reason I didn’t give 4 stars for service. I would definitely come back!

When I told my wife that my brother-in-law and I were stopping for Mexican food on an errand-running Monday, she nearly dropped her coffee. I’m *not* a Mexican-food guy—borderline famous for it. But I’d spotted this place online, it was actually open on a Monday (a Plaza miracle), and it fit our route. So I took a gamble. And wow. Jackpot. I don’t quite know how to label the vibe. “Upscale” sounds snooty and doesn’t fit, but if your mental model of Mexican restaurants—like mine—leans toward cheerful dive-bar chic, this place is a whole different universe. Warm, polished, inviting… the kind of spot where you feel relaxed but also vaguely fancy. The menu sealed the deal: three kinds of ceviche, bowls, tacos, burritos, chimichangas… even a Caesar salad for the gringos among us. Diversity on a plate. And the food? Fresh. Bright. Flat-out delicious. I had the asada bowl; my brother-in-law bravely ordered a chimichanga *with a side of roasted vegetables* (yes, the irony was noticed and documented). Everything was a hit. Thrilled we found this gem. Next time, we’re going back for margaritas—preferably outside, with Plaza people-watching as a side dish.

We went tonight and sat at the bar. I had the La Chismosa cocktail which was very tasty and heavy on grapefruit, just the way I like it. It was a generous pour that lasted through the whole meal. For an appetizer we ordered the croquettes and the jalapeño aïoli was so good that I asked for a little extra. For entrées, I had the mole enchiladas and my significant other had the carne asada. The mole enchiladas were outstanding with a sauce that was slightly bitter yet sweet and full of flavor. The carne asada was equally delicious with a rich smoky taste that we loved. I’ve been here a few times and every visit has been great. The service at the bar tonight was quick and friendly. Be back soon. My only negative, which so many restaurants are guilt of, is more effort could go into reducing the noise level.
