Beautiful place, but poor service experience
The place is excellent, very traditional Mexican with many cultural elements and customs. However, for people who are not used to seeing symbols related to death, such as altars, skulls , and similar decorations, it can feel a bit shocking.
The food was very good, and the atmosphere was lively with many people. The music was at a reasonable level that allowed conversation. The non-alcoholic drinks were delicious.
Unfortunately, the service was poor. The waitress who attended us was very unfriendly. We asked if they could sing “Happy Birthday,” and she said it would cost $6, which I agreed to. We waited more than 10 minutes, and by then we had already finished our lunch. Even the dirty plates had been cleared, and we were still waiting. In the end, I had to cancel the request because nothing happened.
The waitress’s attitude made the experience difficult and unpleasant. Honestly, I just wanted to leave because of the way we were treated.
I don’t think it’s my style of restaurant.

I would like to give a special compliment to the waiter Daniel. Always very polite, kind, and helpful, he makes all the difference in the service. He demonstrates professionalism, friendliness, and care for the customers, making the experience much more pleasant. Impeccable service, the kind you remember and feel compelled to praise. Congratulations on the excellent work!

We visited in December to celebrate my cousin’s birthday, and it was our first time here, we absolutely loved it! The Mexican cuisine was delicious, and the margaritas were amazing. The ambiance is fun and vibrant, with beautiful décor and plenty of photo opportunities. We were seated on the second floor, but there was a live band on the first floor, and we even went down to dance for a bit. Overall, it was an incredible experience. I highly recommend this place,we had a blast!

From start to finish, the whole experience was perfect! Our server Cristian was absolutely amazing—super attentive and made us feel so welcomed. The DJ was spectacular, the playlist had me wanting to jump out of my seat and dance. The food was incredible, full of flavor and cooked just right.
The entire staff was so helpful, from the warm greeting at the door to keeping the tables spotless. The decorations were beautiful and fun, creating such a great vibe.
I’ll definitely be coming back—everything from the service to the music to the food was on point. Such a memorable night!

The restaurant has valet parking only.
I was asked to move tables to accommodate a large group, which was fine. Service felt rushed, with few staff and no food recommendations.
We ordered $32 worth of appetizers for two people without alcohol, and the server seemed mildly disappointed but remained polite. Water came in bottles without glasses or straws. Food was average.
The decor is nice and suitable for social gatherings.
We waited a long time for the check, even after asking a busser to help.

Such a cool and unique place! Chicken quesadilla was delicious. Some steak pieces were tough. Server named CAROLINA was very sweet! Mariachi band was awesome. Wish this place existed where I live!

This was our first time at La Fortaleza. Everything was perfect! From atmosphere to music, food and service. Jefferson took such good care of us. Always smiling, explaining all the different food options, he really went above and beyond to make this the best experience for us. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Birria tacos were super tasty. Birthday piñata was so much fun. We’ll be back for sure.
Thank you Jefferson, you made the difference, we had an amazing night!
