- foodBut seriously though, this was very good and not like chorizo at all. All the food for our party of 6 had eggcellent presentation, was packed with flavor, and I almost ordered more when the server walked by with that Mushroom Croque Madame, which I almost ordered and should have! (Pictured, ya, I did that) 🤣📸 Seriously going back on our next trip very soon!
- drinksThey have made an INCREDIBLE difference for the better! The dishes were great and wonderfully prepared drinks were a highlight. The atmosphere was also enhanced by the presence of beautiful people.
- cocktailsMy experience at Peyote was a mixed bag. It's a popular, hip little spot that definitely impressed me with its great cocktails. The food was decent, though the menu is a bit limited, so I'd advise checking it out ahead of time if you have food allergies.
- cevichealways try to order the ceviche for which they are known
- menuThe place is the cutest and the food was amazing! I'm planning to go back again and again to try the whole menu. The cocktails looked great too; they were carefully constructed, slowing down service at the bar a tiny bit, but I am looking forward to eating in next time for sure.
- Shrimp TacosThey were very attentive with food and beverage orders, checked on us quite a few times, and truly made us feel right at home. Our personal favorites this time around were the Shrimp Tacos and their Espresso-self Cocktail. I can absolutely confirm I'll be back a third time, and a fourth, and a fifth.
- chilaquilesThe chilaquiles were some of my favorite I've ever had!
- steakI had steak. Both tasted great.
- BroccoliniBroccolini (my personal fav - such a cool flavor)
- Caesar saladthe Caesar salad was the best I've ever had
Frequently criticized
- foodThe establishment is beautiful, however our experience was not the best. The food was bland and the portions were small. Our waiter would not take no for an answer regarding drinks, which was uncomfortable as we don't drink at all.
- menuHowever, the interior was a little tight, so most dining will be outside on the gorgeous patio. The menu is limited with tapas-style portions, and while the drinks are great, they are pricey and not very memorable flavor-wise. It's still worth checking off your bucket list.
- Cesar saladthe Cesar salad was a no go
- ChilaquilesChilaquiles no meat it was lacking flavor for me personally
- Mushroom risottoMushroom risotto was so bland and disgusting I could even finish the dish
- PeyoteNatives wouldn't connect this sacred plant with alcohol and typical american food.
- american foodtypical american food.
- bottomless mimosasBottomless mimosas don’t feel bottomless
- breadThe vibe for brunch, complete with a DJ, was great. My Eggs Benedict were almost flawless, though the bread was a tad dense and dry. Despite this minor point, I'd definitely go back.
- citrusy saucei tasted no citrus and there was literally zero heat
If you're looking for creative Latin-inspired dishes and fantastic cocktails, this place is definitely worth a try. Just be mindful that some find the portions on the smaller side and flavors occasionally inconsistent.

- serverOn this Sunday, the grill was firing outside with the DJ playing some dining tunes. Our server was super nice and cheerful. I tried the Breakfast Burrito, which was filled with scrambled eggs, tater tots, ground beef, and my favorite.
- Chef DanielWe recently hosted our son's Rehearsal Dinner for 65 guests and his Welcome Party for 120 guests on a Friday night, and it was PERFECTION in every way. We requested all food to be Zero-Gluten, and the incredible Chef Daniel was more than happy to accommodate us with delicious, innovative, and beautiful food. We met with different staff members a few times prior to ensure everything was exactly as we wanted.
- ServiceService was friendly and attentive
- serversI was absolutely looking forward to visiting this restaurant, making a special trip out of my way because of its very instagrammable location. While the vibe is definitely there and the servers are very friendly, accommodating and kind, as a foodie, I was unimpressed with the food.

Frequently criticized
- waiting timeOur server was friendly and the drinks we had were good. It took some time to get our food, and when it came out, it really was not worth waiting for. The food was very bland all around, even for someone who meal preps and can eat the same thing every day.
- serviceThe food was decent, though the menu is a bit limited, so I'd advise checking it out ahead of time if you have food allergies. The service was great when we got it, but unfortunately, it was also very slow. They might have been short-staffed.

- drinksThe food was bland and the portions were small. Our waiter would not take no for an answer regarding drinks, which was uncomfortable as we don't drink at all. They had been open for over an hour and a half, yet half their items weren't ready, preventing us from ordering what we wanted.
- executionHorrible execution with this place

Overall, the service here is a strong point, with many guests enjoying truly exceptional and personalized care. While occasional hiccups like long waits or reservation issues can occur, the friendly staff often make for a memorable visit, so if attentive service is key, you'll likely be pleased.

- money and serviceIt was priced at $50 per person and included a 3-course meal, though drinks were separate. I found it to be well worth the money and service. The food was incredibly delicious, and the ambiance, despite a very windy day, was exactly what we were looking for to enjoy a fun, upbeat afternoon.
- price tagMy experience at this restaurant was exceptional, largely due to the excellent service from Joe and the entire staff. We began with the shrimp cocktail, which was a pleasant surprise with its generous portion of *seven* nommy, chonky shrimps, definitely well-worth the price tag. The wild arugula salad was also very tasty.
- pricesModerate prices
- reasonably pricedMy experience at this little place on Fremont Street was great! The restaurant has a fun Latin inspired menu that is reasonably priced and tasty. The short rib and the ceviche were particularly good.

Instagrammable Vibe, Unimpressive Food
I was absolutely looking forward to visiting this restaurant, making a special trip out of my way because of its very instagrammable location. While the vibe is definitely there and the servers are very friendly, accommodating and kind, as a foodie, I was unimpressed with the food. The fries (papalonas dish) were delicious and the Brussel sprouts too.
However, the Cesar salad was a no go; it was not deconstructed, served as a wedge with a steak knife, and the dressing was way too salty, requiring me to send it back. The fairytale pumpkin dish was not it, with less than a palmful of quinoa. Although the pumpkin was well grilled, I would not order this dish again, especially since the recommendation to eat it with tortillas seemed questionable.
The drinks are good. Overall, I would not return for the food.

Beautiful Brunch with Delicious Classics
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. We sat on the patio, which was beautifully surrounded by bushes, succulents, and flowers. The decor was kitchy and fun.
I particularly enjoyed their wonderfully delicious take on classics like avocado toast, grilled cheese, and french toast; the taste was so much more than the name implies. The restaurant is located inside the former Ferguson hotel. On Sunday, there was live music and vendors in the common space, which was beautiful to stroll through after lunch.

Fantastic Food, Okay Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, primarily due to the fantastic food. I was so impressed with the culinary offerings. However, I'm only giving the atmosphere 4 stars because it wasn't as luxurious as one might expect, especially considering the high quality of the food.
Despite this minor point, I highly recommend this place!

Awesome Eclectic Experience!
We decided to try Peyote out on a whim and it was awesome. The eclectic menu offered something for everyone, and four out of our party of four loved their meals. The cocktails were also excellent.
My wife loved the succulents and cactus that dotted the outdoor nesting area. Go try them out!
