This is a very good Mexican restaurant with good menu options and good drinks. Reasonable prices. The bar was quite busy. Our dishes were both good. The Al Pastor tacos were a bit overfull & thus difficult to eat as a handheld item (a bit more pineapple & a bit less cilantro would be helpful as well). The shrimp tacos didn't have that problem. Overall, a good dining experience. We will be back.

It was simply amazing. We celebrated our son’s graduation and everything could not have been better — delicious mimosas, scrumptious chips and guacamole, and main dishes that were probably the most delicious Mexican cuisine we have eaten anywhere. Our grad got a complementary tequila shot that was icing on the cake. Thank you! 🫶🏼

Waitress was dismissive . Had a party of 6 added tip on and she didn’t tell us and we realized afterwards that’s why she didn’t pay attention to the table. Food selection especially on Cinco de mayo was awful

We booked the Bebedero on Open Table for Monday, December 20 for 6 people. We received an email from Open Table on December 19, telling us to let the Bebedero know we would be there, which we did. When we got there a notice was in the window that said it was closed and would be reopening in a new location in February. Several other customers were standing around also, confused as we were since they, too, had reservations. Open Table was still showing availability for tables for that same evening. Subsequently,I found a news report that said: The Bebedero announced they will be moving a few doors down on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall. Service at the new location will start in February and service at the old location will end on Dec 18. It would have been nice if the restaurant had contacted Open Table or customers with reservations to let them know not to bother showing up.

Consistently good food, sadly a limited menu due to their pending move, I will hope the new surroundings does not influence the quality and variety. Best of luck to them.

First time visiting and loved it. Really cool vibe, unique menu (including cocktails), great food. They had live music which was great. They are moving to a new location at the end of 2021 but will hope to visit again next time we are in Charlottesville.
