Great restaurant. We had mostly appetizers and they were all good. The birria was excellent and the queso fundido with tomatilllo sauce was unique. Our waitress Cissy was excellent.

Holy smokes, I have been waiting for months to get a reservation, and boy was it worth it! Went for my birthday dinner and it was part vibes of a club with the great playlist and part fab food and drinks to make the best meal ever. The birria dumplings were so good we ordered another order right after eating the first round. The bartenders and servers were exceptionally talented and kind and took turns checking in on us all evening. For sure, try the Tio Victor on the drink menu! It's a rocking good time and lived up to all the hype. While I was surprised to see small kids, it was loud enough to drown out any kid noise.

We had been meaning to try Espiritu for some time and we’re not disappointed. The food was excellent. We had the Queso Fundido app, the adobo short ribs and the mussels. We also tried two of the specialty cocktails and were not disappointed. The only disappointment was that we made a late reservation and were seated adjacent to the kitchen window.

The skirt steak with bacanora beans and whole red snapper are outstanding! Between the excellent food, service, and atmosphere, it's in a class by itself!
