   Amazing experience for my dad’s 65th birthday dinner. It was a hit with everyone with great food and service.

   The drink we ordered was good but the food was terrible. When we sent the food back, the manager still attempted to charge us for 50% of the cost of the food that we only tasted to realize it was disgusting, still leaving us with a $92 bill. We insisted that we were not paying for the food and after coming to that agreement, was still charged $34 for two cocktails plus $6 for switching out the vodka for reposado tequila. A terrible experience and I couldn’t understand why it has such good reviews.

   Plenty of open seats and they sat us in a corner. Asked for different table and they said no. Food was subpar

   Te Deseo surpassed my expectations. I celebrated my birthday there and was treated like family. My waitress Unique was nothing short of amazing and attentive! She gave recommendations and answered all questions thoroughly. The food and drinks were delicious! I would highly recommend Te Deseo!

   “This restaurant is a gem! From the moment we walked in, the host was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home, The food was absolutely delicious. Our server was attentive, although a few more check-ins would have been appreciated. Overall, a fantastic dining experience and we can’t wait to return!”

   I went last night with my best friend & the experience was amazing! Great service, great food, & great quality. Only minor inconvenience, was afterwards when we tried going upstairs to take a picture with the sign we were told we couldn’t bc it was late already. So what are the appropriate times to go upstairs then? But, other than that great restaurant!

   I went to Te Deseo for an anniversary dinner and it was our first time! We loved that there was complimentary Valet and as soon as you walk in you’re greeted by a very nice host. The staff were very friendly and great. I appreciated that they congratulated us for our anniversary and brought out complimentary champagne. The ambience of the restaurant was pretty and it was loud, but I could still have a conversation with my significant other without a problem. The food was okay. The ceviche mixto, was actually pretty delicious, but the main entrees were kind of a let down. For a nice restaurant with medium high prices, it was not really worth it. I had a few issues with my order, I think due to the server not realizing that certain parts of the dish came together. The chicken was pretty dry without the sauce and it turned into a big mix up that my significant other finished his food first. Apparently the manager brought out my food after the fix, but he didn’t introduce himself or apologize about the ordeal. I honestly thought he was one of the wait staff until my server told me who he was. We got the churros for dessert and those were pretty okay as well. We were celebrating and in a good mood, so I didn’t get annoyed plus the servers kindness and willingness to help us made the evening enjoyable. I would say overall that if you’re wanting to just go somewhere to enjoy the ambiance and have pretty good cocktails, then this place would be okay maybe for a more going out night. You can dress nice and take cute photos here. Other than that, if you’re trying to celebrate and spend money on a good meal, you could find that elsewhere.

    The restaurant was not busy at all on a prime weekend (valentines) and most of the clientele was poorly dressed. Besides lacking the upscale vibe, the food quality was not great. This place has a ton of potential due to the location and look, but is lacking the right ownership/mgmt to make it more upscale.
