    What happened to Reforma?! I heard they were closing so I went to dinner last night one last time. I see why…it was DEAD at like 8 pm. Disappointed they removed some of the menu items like the Branzino! That’s why I went! The tinga chicken taquitos were dry and tough, the Elotes were just ok and came out cold, along with the seafood risotto which was kind of like a paella. The sauce looked like it had been sitting out a while, it was forming a film on it. Ended up taking most of it home to reheat. I like my food hot. Service was and has always been great. The server was interesting, a bit too animated but a nice guy. I would say I’m going to miss this place but I already miss how the vibrant atmosphere and food quality used to be. Adiós!

    The service was extremely slow. Both the drinks and food took what felt like forever to arrive at the table. The salmon was cooked medium rare, which made it too undercooked to eat. Overall, the experience was a disappointment.

    Thank you for your feedback. We always appreciate the opportunity to improve. We apologize for the wait for the food and drinks. We're always happy to cook your meat or fish to order. We're sorry your selection was underdone.

    The most delicious Latin/Mexican fare! Don’t miss the seasoned corn on the cob. Chicken fajitas were outstanding, as were the churros. Lounge seating preferred.

    The seafood risotto was tasteless and greasy—nearly inedible.

    The inside room was not appealing. Very dark and noisy from other tables. But we moved to a table outside and it was great.
