Had a little bit of everything tonight and Tempo Cantina absolutely delivered. The steak enchiladas were packed with flavor, the rice and beans were solid comfort food, and the sushi roll was surprisingly good too. Drinks were fun, strong, and presentation was on point. Service stayed friendly and quick the whole time, and the atmosphere had a great vibe without feeling too loud. Definitely a spot worth coming back to with friends or for a date night. 🌮🍣🍹
Birria tacos, ensenada shrimp tacos, and enchiladas trio were amazing! Despite being in the back outside staff was very attentive. Had the margarita flight as well and those were fun tastings.
They advertise that Saturday and Sunday happy hour runs from open to close, but when we arrived, we were told it doesn’t start until brunch is over. The information is clearly written, yet once you’re there, they say otherwise. The restaurant was nearly empty at noon, which says a lot. This was our first time here—and definitely our last.
Excellent food, though pricey for location and service. I liked the Japanese- Mexican menu. The sushi was outstanding.
One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Atmosphere may look "trashy" but service was excellent with great recommendations and food was insanely good.
