First time dining here. I must say it was a great experience. The food and drinks were good. The atmosphere is great as well. The whole restaurant is a vibe. The staff was friendly. Parking was easy and they also have valet. Having an elegant restaurant so close to home is a bonus for me. I definitely recommend.

My friend and I were skeptical because the location doesn’t feel high end when you first arrive. To our surprise it was quite lovely after entering the establishment. We initially went to the bar it was a Sunday so it’s “happy hour all day” we got our drinks 1 lime and 1 mango margarita both were very delicious and HUGE! We decided at that point to get a table the gentleman at the host station was very accommodating and sat us very quickly. Food: We shared everything because it was our first time and we’re a little greedy haa we started with the chicken taquitos the chicken was very flavorful and moist it came with this Serrano dipping chutney like salsa (so good) The chips a salsa (A MUST) the salsa is so unique it tasted like it was fire roasted idk I’m not a chef haa just get it! We also got the enchiladas suizas it was nice, cheesy, and the chicken was delicious you could taste the freshness of what I’m assuming was tomatillos or maybe salsa verde idk but once again get it! Haa Our lovely servers name was Linda… she was very polite she checked on us regularly and also gave us time to just chit chat and didn’t rush us… I asked about the Al mojo de ajo… she highly recommended it… when I tell you it was scrumptious I said “listen Linda”, listen to me (she got scared and thought I didn’t like it haa) it was the opposite the flavors slightly citrusy, lots of garlic there was a creamy texture to the sauce, some pickled onions or radish idk and to top it off some grilled crusty buttery bread.. I was in heaven and in love haaa I asked her to please tell the chef he did his thing… Needless to say we enjoyed our meal and we will be back!!! Only thing I’d recommend is that there be someone always at the front desk to greet people upon arrival (maybe because it was a Sunday) but I witnessed several parties come in and no one was there to say hi.. (minor detail) Yum all around! I definitely recommend!

I was impressed with the food, atmosphere and service. My friends and I were there for brunch and had a splendid experience. Our servers were top notch and knowledgeable. We were celebrating a birthday and they went all out with a beautiful birthday Horchata ice cream and small champagne flute for my friend. It’s pricey, but food was delicious. I will definitely be making another trip.

First time here, and the food was amazing! The Steak Nachos and Chicken Quesadilla were super filling and definitely shareable. We also ordered the Street Corn and we needed to bring it home because we ate so much. Honestly, their happy hour or Goddess Hour amazing and our server. Lacy was so friendly. Her service was quick and easy as they had just opened, however once she went home, it was hard to get a to-go box where I literally had to ask three employees and ultimately a manager brought one over. That was annoying as I didn’t feel valued as a customer. It was also annoying to see a 3% surcharge on the check which states that it is “to help cover rising costs”. I would like to see an increased food price rather than 3% of the entire check. They had great music and it was a cozy vibe until 7pm where they got the dinner rush. People were all over the place and servers were rushing drink displays back and forth. That was my time to head out. I might give this place a try in the near future.

We held a private holiday party at Diosa and we had an amazing experience! The party was planned with coordinator Stella who was very easy to work with and great at communicating. The food was delicious and the drinks were fantastic. The service by Prisela and Jose was professional and excellent. Highly recommend overall!

This is my candid review; essential information to note: we visited on Saturday at approximately 4 PM. 1) you want to park close you need to pay Valet Parking. 2) The entire party must be present to receive seating. I don't like that they take the parking close to the restaurant to charge you , I dont like that , if you want to park you need to do it next to the pharmacy and walk The location is exceptionally beautiful, featuring elegant and classy decorations. The waiting area and entrance are aesthetically pleasing and impeccably clean, creating a VIP ambiance. I am very pleased. Regarding the Bar: There was only one bartender serving drinks, and the cocktails we ordered took an excessive amount of time to arrive. We expressed our dissatisfaction, and the bartender informed us that he was the sole staff member serving the drinks that afternoon poor guy trying to get all those drinks out. The prolonged wait for drinks is detrimental to any business that aims to encourage continuous patronage. employing a single bartender on Saturday! Remarkably poor. The quality of the food is exceptional. The fajitas and all dinner plates were exquisite, featuring top-quality meat and generous portions. Kudos to the chef! Exceptional cuisine! Delicious and fresh. Recommend ordering the empanadas, as they are exceptional, and the guacamole is delectable and flavorful. SERVICE: Excellent; although the staff was limited, the individual was courteous and performed his duties well, and all personnel were amicable. BIRTHDAY: Oh my goodness! This is the location! My niece received a delectable ice cream accompanied by a large banner featuring her name for her birthday. She was exceedingly delighted. Exceptional cuisine, exquisite beverages, commendable service, and a stunning ambiance; be sure to order the fajitas, as the steak is delectable! I shall return once more. TO THE MANAGER: PLEASE HIRE ADDITIONAL BARTENDERS TO ASSIST WITH BEVERAGE SERVICE ON WEEEKENDS PLEASE. . Thank you.
