food was edible but not that great. also, they forgot to put in an order for someone at our table and her food came after we were all done eating. luckily, she said her meal was better than the rest of ours because it was actually fresh and had flavor. the frozen margarita is great though!

I can’t review the food. You know why? Because we stood there for 20 minutes before I actually had to hunt someone down to notice us. Someone who had been there previously told me not to go. But I like to form my own opinion and I also always try and patronize black businesses. We had a reservation, but no one was there to greet us. When I finally found someone she looked at me as though I had bothered her. She went behind the bar and said it’s only me here. That’s not my problem. Put out a help wanted add. But there was someone else behind the bar twiddling her thumbs who also paid us no attention. We left and went to Sweet Science where the music was jamming, the manager greeted us and the food was amazing. I suggest Besos close down and reevaluate their business. Good luck to you if you give them your money.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon without reservations, but we were seated after 10 minutes. Once seated we were told that the kitchen was backed up and had to wait 30 mins to order food. Turns out we had to wait 30 mins for drinks and appetizers too. The crab guacamole and chips were slightly tangy like it was old. The chips were stale. The service here is terrible. We finally got our food after 50 mins. And to say the least, not worth the wait. I ordered the red velvet chicken and waffles. The waffles were crumbly, crunchy, and dry with no taste. The chicken was ok had a little flavor. The rum punch and the mango margarita was the best part of the meal. I will not be returning to this place anytime soon.

The food was delicious and came promptly. The staff was courteous, accommodating and professional. The drinks may leave one lacking as there isn’t a vast selection. Beautiful outside seating area, call ahead to make sure it’s available. Only issue I had were the chairs on the inside of the restaurant, they are not very comfortable, which lessened my overall experience.

Food is AMAZING! The customer service is wonderful. If you're looking for a afterwork spot to enjoy good food, great music and a wonderful vibe, this is it. Al is the man in charge, very nice and kind. The bartender who was a woman (didn't catch her name), makes the best drinks. Good spot overall!

Great place and the food taste amazing however I can only give 3 stars at best because I’ve never been to a place that has slower service. It was absolutely ridiculous. I got there with two other people about an hour or two after they opened. Seated after a few minutes, great. Drinks came after 10 mins, not bad. Food took what felt like more than hour to get. The place was not busy at all and it looked like people who got there after us got their food before us. Something I can’t overlook. Ambiance and decorations were nice.

We were a bit apprehensive about going because of the reviews, but I'm so glad we did. The food was great, the service was amazing and the ambiance was smooth. We went on a Friday night @ about 8:30 pm, there weren't that many people there. This may have played a part in our experience, none the less, we enjoyed ourselves.

I drove an hour to get here, I give it a 3 stars b/c WE originally went for brunch but NO BRUNCH, asked for a memosa, NO MEMOSA, then we asked for ice Macha Latte yup NO MACHA LATTE! We order whats on the picture, jerk mac&cheese was good, spicy Bacalao (salt fish) on sweet plantains, so the bacalo was dry, the one plantain was not sweet at all no balance, the shrimp was good, BUT FOR 24$ ONE SHRIMP skewer wasnt worth the price at all. NOW IF YOU WANT A STRONG DRINKS DEFINITELY GO! I had a margarita and it was super strong! Lastly the server/ chef brought me a red velvet cake and put a reagge bday song for me and i greatly appreciate! He was nice but will i go again no,

So this is not a bad place. FOOD was very good once we actually got it. Great vibe great ambiance, heated garden was cool as well. Had reservations for Sunday. Took a lil over an hour to get our starters while others who came after got their food first. Our waiter was very nice. I feel like we came at a busy time where they were doin takeout orders and we kinda fell thru the cracks. Main course was good as well again we were kinda forgotten alot. However the Twins did come and try to make things better by acknowledging our long wait time and trying to rectify which was truly appreciated. We did get a round of drinks on the house. Overall GOOD food great vibe but jus a mini mishap with our service. Definitely gonna try again.

I will say if you don't care about service. The food is out of this world. It's unfortunate because I hate giving these type of reviews. But we made a reservation over a week In advance, it was confirmed, yet when we got there, they told us they saw it but didn't think we were coming... we then had to wait over 30 minutes to find out they were putting us in the back with no heat, freezing cold. Thankfully they moved us. But getting pur food order and food was inconsistent. They were kind and patient, but we did reserve way in advance, should have had a table ready for us. If everyone wasn't already there in our party we would unfortunately have gone somewhere else. We will be going back and try again one day, We get things are tough these days. But definitely need to take this as a heads up if you're a large party.
