“While Ofrenda’s was busy at 8 PM on a Friday night, they had one seat for 2 without a wait. Chips and salsas were great. I say salsas as they brought mild, medium and habanero. We had chicken quesadillas and chicken enchiladas. The place was loud and hopping but we could talk. Staff were very attentive!”
“We had a great experience here. I came with my son and a friend, and our server, Jesús, was absolutely wonderful. He was very charismatic, friendly, and attentive, and he made us feel truly welcome from the start. The food was delicious, but his warm service made the visit even better. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This spot was amazing! The place is super cozy and beautifully decorated, and the vibe makes you feel really comfortable. The staff was super friendly and attentive the whole time. We ordered chicken tacos and guacamole, and the chef (who’s the nicest!) surprised us with fish tacos, sweet plantains with green sauce and cheese, and for dessert a flan with berries—all on the house. Everything was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re looking for great Mexican food and a welcoming atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!”
“Delicious comida auténtica de México. The flavors, the style, from simple dishes to the more elaborate ones (and exquisite drinks), all hold their own as delicious, enjoyable, satisfying. The quality of their ingredients is undeniable, I can order anything from their menu and it makes me happy. Nothing is too oily or overpowering, everything is crisp and well made to order. I must recommend the queso fundido, and the aguachile (no more eating octopus though!). Service is way better than most these days, with kind staff willing to answer questions and flexible with seating. On that note, the seating is a bit crammed indoors and outdoors, and there could be some music playing- it’s a lot of candles indoors with black walls, which gives ‘Ofrenda’. Overall great restaurant for the west village, the food won’t disappoint (just make sure to order a few things!).”
“Was an ok experience. The vibe is great and the service is ok. What really surprised me was the aguachile appetizer. It’s supposed to be spicy and limey. But this dish was sweet, not spicy and actually very sweet. Definitely not what I expected and and felt that it was a let down. Margarita was pretty good. Bartender was nice. I asked for spicy sauce to try and salvage the agua chile, but they charged me for that too lol. Over all, maybe my staff and I won’t make this our new spot. Oh well. The search continues.”
