The food and margaritas were absolutely great. Much better than anything else in the area. Definitely did not seem kid friendly on a Friday/Saturday night - I didnt see one person in the entire restaurant under 21. Probably under 30 for that matter. Took it from 5 stars to 4 for 2 reasons: They use a text message system to let you know when your table is ready. This is a great idea. That said, the Verizon Wireless service at the bar is barely 2 bars of old, slow 3G service. We stood around waiting for the text, but I got nothing standing at the bar. 15min after our reservation time. I went up to the hostess table. She told me, "I texted you 15min ago" with attitude as if its my fault. I then pulled my phone out of my pocket, and there was still no text. Sure enough, 2 seconds later, my iPhone then must have received service, and the text popped up saying that it was sent 15min ago. If youre going to use texting for table notifications, you may want to make sure there is major carrier cell service where people are waiting, or at least not give attitude when people dont receive the text. The second reason a star was taken off because we were over-charged for our drinks. The cocktail menus first item is "Besito Patron Margaritas." My wife and I ordered 3 "Patron Margaritas" between the two of us. I got the bill, and noticed they were listed as "Patron Rocks" at $13 each. They definitely came out as Margaritas though, and not simply Patron on the rocks. We were in a hurry to get home to relieve the baby sitter, so I didnt address it with the waitress. I just checked their menu online, and sure enough, they are $10 on the menu, so we were definitely overcharged. If the menu had said $13, I would have still bought them, and have not cared, but this appears to be deceptive.

We dined on a Sunday afternoon on the terrace with our Chihuahua at our feet. We were at a long high top facing an exterior fireplace. The terrace is nicely decorated using rustic tables, mason jar lights and plants with little white lights. The restaurant is very customer centric ensuring that you have a good visit and meal. The queso fundido was similar to a Spanish flambe cheese....not your typical "Queso dip" for chips. It was spot on with a beautiful golden crust. I will never go back to the bland processed queso dip again! We also tried the panquesito de jaiba (lump crab cake) topped with corn, avocado and a habanero sauce that balances the dish perfectly. My husband enjoyed the Mexican salad with a large grilled chicken breast and I had the carne asada street tacos. Everything was very tasty and fresh. Besito has phenomenal customer service....we will return

BEWARE!!! I had a wonderful dinner at Besito restaurant in Surburban Square. Everything about dining at Besito was absolutely PERFECT! The only exception is that while I was dining on Saturday night, I received a parking ticket @ 8:48PM while parked in the parking lot across the street. PLEASE BE WARNED that this lot is a private lot and their meters need to be fed 24/7! There is no signage stating this as you enter the lot; it is ONLY on the pole of the parking meter in front of your car. I was not expecting to have to feed a Surburban Sq. meter @7:30 on a Saturday night - and I didnt. When I returned to my car @ 9:15, I had received a $15.00 parking ticket. PLEASE tell your friends as this is obviously a "cash cow" for the lot owners. You have been warned. :)

This place is a Hidden Gem. Went for my bday last Friday. For Appetizers had the crab cake (deeee-lish!) and the friedFish tacos. Main course was Shrimp Tacos and my boyfriend had Chicken Enchaladas. We also tried the Patron Margaritas. Everything ordered was pretty good. This place has inside and outside seating and the decor is very pretty. Looked pretty busy for a Friday night, so I would def make reservations. Almost forgot, we had the table side Guac and that was good as well. Our waitress was very pleasant and suggestive since this was our first time there. Place looks good for a date, girls night out, a drink at the bar and even a dinner party. Prices werent bad and actually matched the quality of food and service. I will be returning :)

Excellent!!!!! Food, drinks, service was AMAZ ING! This is a more so upscale restaurant, so expect to spend more. BUT its worth every penny. The manager actually came to my table, asked how was everything and gave information on the history of the restaurant. The music was perfect. We had an outside table and it added to the overall experience. We were stuffed and passed on dessert, but then the server brought complimentary hot churros! What!!!! And gifted us a handful of Mexican trouble dolls. Amazing night that was just an impromptu night out! I will definitely return.

The food was good but I believe over priced considering the ingredients...$20 for chicken tacos is a bit much. Also, during our dinner we ordered specialty margaritas and they came in plastic cups...not a glass. Honestly quite shocked that a Patron based margarita arrived as if we were at a college party.

Their guacamole and service is amazing! It is a great place to sit outside during the spring and summer. Decent happy hours also. My only complaint is that at dinner time, it is hard to read the menu inside. Lighting is poor. Ive seen many customers have to use their cell phone lights to see the menu.

I ordered the ceviche and it came wrong!! No octopus and it was more of a salsa and I paid $13 for it! The service was pretty good I came on a busy Saturday night. The chips were okay and there was too much cilantro but we did get free churros at the end!!!!

Just stopped in for a drink this past Friday. The place was busy and has a really nice ambiance, they even have a cool sitting area outside with couches and a fire place. Ill definitely be back for a meal.

Food was good and the atmosphere was amazing. Only problem was I could have been served chipotle and might not have thought it was much better. Very good but minor changes will make it much better.

This place is great. Food is fantastic and good atmosphere. There is always a wait so make reservations but even with reservations you may still have a little wait too.

Cinco de Mayo must have been a great day for drinks, because on 5/6 there was little alcohol in our mixed drinks. Rushed service. Nice atmosphere.
