   Food is just not good. I’ve tried this place twice. Nice ambiance and service is great but the flavors are weird. The sunflower arbol salsa is awful. Their vegetarian Tamale was filled with cloves and cinnamon and tasted spoiled even though it was piping hot. The vegetarian tacos were okay and the guacamole was very good. It’s unfortunate because the menu seems really creative but I would not go back to spend $100 for two people and eat this.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with our food didn’t meet your expectations, especially after giving us a second try. While we’re glad you enjoyed the ambiance, service, and guacamole, we regret that some of our dishes, like the sunflower arbol salsa and vegetarian tamale, didn’t resonate with your palate. Our culinary team aims to create bold, unique flavors, but we understand that taste preferences vary. We strive to deliver creative and satisfying meals, and it’s disappointing to hear we fell short for you. We genuinely appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve. Our management team will be reaching out to you directly to see how we can make this right.

   Our server was nice but very soft spoken. She seated us and brought us water and the appetizer we ordered. Then she disappeared. We waited 10-15 minutes for her to return so we could order drinks and food. We discovered the staff was having a team meeting and my date had to get up and ask for service. One of the staff members told him “we are in a meeting “. He told her that you can’t be in a meeting when customers are waiting “. The person spoke to the manager and our server came back to table apologizing. Perhaps you can have shorter meetings or allow at least one server to check on seated customers.

   Food was fantastic but the terrible service outshined the food. We waited for water for about 25 minutes. When we finally found a waitress she had no idea anyone was seated in her section.

   First time to try Chicheria and it will it be my last. Met college friend so we can have some cocktails conversation. We ended up eating as well. The place is a whole vibe. Loved it and will be back soon!

   This was my second visit. The one featured coffee cocktail they had they were out of the coffee beans for espresso. The oyster taco was a no go-out of oysters. When it came time to pay, we were pointed to the QR code to pay. We had to wait for our server to come by because there were 2 items on our check that we did not get. Then we had to split the check. The payment app charges a admin fee to pay your bill!!! The server can simply print out a check to save you the headache and extra fee. Why wouldn’t they do that? It was a disappointing experience.

   Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent visit. I sincerely apologize for the shortcomings you experienced. Running out of key ingredients is not the level of preparation we aim for, and I’m truly sorry this impacted your meal. We are addressing inventory management to ensure we’re better equipped to meet expectations in the future. Regarding your payment concerns, we recognize the frustration caused by the QR code system and the administrative fee. While we introduced this option for convenience, we absolutely understand it’s not the best fit for everyone. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’d love the opportunity to make things right. If you’d consider visiting us again, please reach out directly so we can ensure your experience is a much more enjoyable one.

   We went for brunch and bottomless mimosas for my sister 62nd birthday. No champagne for mimosas and no biscuits for the chicken biscuits not good I recommended this place because I had such a great experience for my birthday but sister did not get the same experience. Somebody didn't do there job properly to make sure you had the supplies for brunch that is only Saturday and Sunday.

   Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and happy belated birthday to your sister! I’m truly sorry to hear that we fell short of providing the same exceptional experience you enjoyed previously. We understand how disappointing it must have been for you and your guests to miss out on key items like sparkling wine for mimosas and biscuits for our chicken biscuits—especially when celebrating a special occasion. Please know that we take this feedback seriously. If you’re open to it, we’d love the chance to make this up to you. My Beverage Director Will will be reaching out to you personally to ensure your next visit meets the high standards we strive for.

   We ordered the guacamole and chips as an appetizer which was very good. We chose the chicken fajita as our shared entree. This dish was disappointing, tasting bland. We wondered if the cook forgot to add the fajita seasoning! Our margaritas weren’t the best; having a watered down taste. I would also add that the meal cost was more pricey than the $$ indicated on Open Table. The best thing about our experience was the attentive service. Considering all, we would not dine there again.

    Food was good to me service was excellent. Sat at the bar. My steak and another guest steak tasted very old. Like is should have been thrown out a few days ago. I am used to steaks that are dry aged tasting a bit aged. I ate half of mines. My guest said that he tasted a tinge in the steak which prompted me to say mines tasted the same. Three weeks ago when I got the steak, eggs and potatoes I did not taste the old steak taste.
