We visited Tahona for an early Father’s Day celebration, and unfortunately, it was not the best experience. The service was incredibly slow from start to finish...

The restaurant is really cool. The speakeasy bar in the back is a little bit cramped and hot. Strange drinks, but cool place.

Tacos were amazing and staff was so friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend the carnitas. 10/10 would reccomend.

Nestled in a vibrant locale, the restaurant garners mixed reactions from diners. While many praise the beautiful ambiance and friendly service, the food quality and portion size leave something to be desired. Patrons highlight that the tastiness of the menu varies, with standout items like carnitas tacos and handcrafted drinks. However, some feel that the drinks lack flavor, and service can be slow or inconsistent. Despite these issues, there are positive notes, particularly regarding certain unique dishes and a knowledgeable chef, suggesting that while it may need improvements, the potential for a delightful dining experience is evident.

I would've rated this spot much higher if it weren't for our rude server, Caleb.

The food looked great on the menu but was quite disappointing when we tasted it. Fairly bland and unremarkable for the price.
