Aroma Mexican Artisan Kitchen - Cypress

Food 5 stars, management behavior 1 star average 3 stars. We ate here for the 2nd time today and once again the food was phenomenal. Special mentions: carne asada, egg and bacon breakfast tacos, and very nice kids plates (huge hamburger and perfect chicken strips). The charro beans are the best I 've ever had and could probably win best charro beans in the world they 're that good (I think there 's beer in the broth). I also love how they don 't over salt the food allows you to taste the great flavors. Service is on the slower side but what that kitchen produces is pure deliciousness and very fresh hot food. They present it very well too. The not so good: a manager lady walked in as we were finishing our meal and the restaurant was picking up (she was wearing a tennis skirt and running club shirt). She immediately appeared very annoyed and scolded both the hostess and our waiter two different times for seating us in a table larger than we needed (we are a family of 4 with 2 toddlers when we arrived 40mins earlier there were only two couples eating in the entire restaurant so I asked for a larger table to have more room and less toddler accidents). She pointed at our table twice visibly annoyed that we took a larger table and was trying to bus nearby tables left dirty from previous patrons so she could combine them to accommodate a larger party (I think they were understaffed so tables not cleaned timely). It 's one thing to coach your staff but I found it disrespectful to do it in such a scowling way in earshot from me, my husband, and another table to hear. I felt embarrassed to be there but more so I felt bad for the two employees she verbally scolded in front of patrons. You cannot keep good people (customers or employees) treating them like that. I 'm hoping it was just a bad day and moment of frustration. We really hoped this could be our regular spot given it 's a smaller local non chain restaurant but today we felt very uncomfortable. My lesson learned is don 't ask for a larger table ever.

#AROMAMEXICANKITCHEN Ideally located, plenty of parking, and the interior design is very colorful, artistic, and extremely clean (especially restrooms). Upbeat Mexican music plays throughout, and Aroma's owner is absolutely a lovely person. If you want traditional Mexican cuisine and outstanding flavorful cocktails...this is DEFINITELY the place for you! Thank You Aroma Mexican Artisan Kitchen!

Meeting my family here today because they know the owner and they highly recommended it. The atmosphere is lovely, the restaurant is located in a peaceful and high end plaza, and I am happy I am here evading the rain. I highly recommend! This business needs more people to know about it. When the server sat me down he let me know that in sharing a review with #AROMAMEXICANKITCHEN you receive a complimentary Jarito Margarita. Come by and enjoy!

We came in tonight for dinner. It was really tasty! Service was great thanks to Zay! Food came out quickly and was very hot. Husband got the chicken fajitas for one. Daughter ordered the enchiladas Suiza. And I got the carnitas plate. All were happy with their choices. So much food we had enough to take home for leftovers.

This place is amazing!!! Come here and you will be so glad you did. This is a family restaurant and they are very kind. They have cute decorations and a purse hook, so you don't have to put it on the chair or floor. We came in with a party of 9 and was seated immediately. Drink orders came and we all ordered items varied from salads to tocos to breakfast items. What I do recommend is the salads, anything with beans, and the tacos!
