    We finally got out of the house to try Verde! It's such a nice location close to the park. The interior is beautiful and inviting and gives you the impression your about to enjoy some really good food! I also love that they have a nice outdoor patio (wonder if it's dog friendly?) if you enjoy sitting outside. So far this place is a gem, but sometimes first impressions can be misleading! The second impression was the wait staff. I couldn't tell if our so sweet gal was just slow or they were understaffed. Was our waitress really the bartender too?? Please - any good restraint will tell you this is a terrible idea!! As a previous bartender I personally know this is a bad idea! Unless you're young, athletic, quick and can multi-task like a bad ass, don't do that to your customers! Our service was slow as molasses, but she was trying! She was personable and our margaritas were good. As for the food: the chips were crisp, light and enjoyable. The salsas were also decent, though I'm a salsa whore and they weren't my top favs. My man however, loved the red salsa, so to each their own. The guacamole was average as well and a bit too pricy for what you get. It was just mashed avocado with some seasoning. I do prefer mine with more too it (fresh tomato, onion, cilantro, jalapeño). We ordered the fish tacos (grilled and fried). My man was disillusioned in the portion size of the grilled fish compared to my fried ones, but overall said the taste was fine. The cream sauce was popping with flavor which help to disguise the 'what seemed to look and taste like out of the bag' carrots strands and cabbage. My fried fish was decent, but I think a bit heavy on the batter for a Cali style fish taco. The grits were a good texture and full of flavor and I enjoyed the grilled veggies. They were seasoned well and not laden with salt. I might try this place again to see if certain areas increase in quality, but if they don't I'm not sure if this place will fall to the curse of the building - it's been so many other things before.

    Service is excellent. Menu is diverse and creative. My food was delicious. I will be back to try more. Not Tex-Mex, if you're into that go a thousand other places. Fresh, tasty, different. I'm a fan.

    So far... been 20 minutes waiting for eggs. I have a crossword puzzle to keep me busy, but there are literally 2 other tables occupied.... 25 minutes. 3 other tables. Food delivered to tables who came in after me. Clearly she forgot to put in my order. ..... Finally. But no toast. Yet. No offer to refill my drink which is empty because I have has 28 minutes to drink it. So I finally have my whole meal and an acknowledgment from the owner that this should have never happened. The food is delicious. Meal was comped but I told them I'd much rather them charge me and let me reflect my disappointment in the waitress' tip rather than the restaurant's bottom line. The three star rating is generous for this experience because of the manager's apology and my previous experiences here. Several restaurants have failed in this location and I always champion the ones with potential. This should not be the reason people quit coming or never come at all.

    The other night it was drinks and appetizers. Tonight it was their Valentine dinner special. The sea bass with cheese grits and smothered with étouffée was superb. The fish was perfectly grilled with just the right crisp on the edges and paired perfectly with the grits and sauce. I ordered steak Diane. A seared filet with the perfect char on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes with a side of asparagus. The plate was smothered in a brown mushroom sauce that was rich without being heavy. I could cut my steak with a butter knife. Delicious. Verde has quickly become a favorite. Andrew (the owner) has a terrific staff. Accommodating for every request. And David, the bartender "king" had a bourbon waiting at our table before I even sat down. That's the level of service that builds loyal customers. Highly recommend a visit to Verde.

    Came here at noon. Didn't even have a server come to take our order until 12 minutes later. 8 tables. 3 servers and the customer service is poor. I would not recommend this place nor will I be back.

    Decent lunch place if in the Tex Mex mood. Two types of salsa one is avocado based and other tomato, bean, cilantro based but and somewhat unique. Green does not mean go here..... as the green salsa has some bite to it that sneaks up on you. Service was okay. Servers were pleasant but had to flag them down on a couple of occasions-- so slow on attentiveness. There was a mix up with how my group interpreted the lunch special menu vs what server told us came with our orders. Servers extended apologies and for the most part worked out a comprise. I would try them again if/when I get into my bi annual Tex Mex mood. All about second chances!!

    Honestly the worst Mex/Cali food we ever had. Toooo greasy! They're trying to combine too much flavors in one simple dish. We ordered the lobster tacos with grits and vegetables. -- the lobster was gummy and greasy. The grits- too much cheese on it and the poor vegetables too salty. Please don't ask me how was the crab nachos!!!

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
