We ve been here a few times and the food is excellent. We got the trio, chicken quesadilla, and the rice bowl with chicken. One of our bottles of beer was warm and the server was very nice about it and got a new one right away. Will definitely continue coming back!

Went here today for a late lunch and was extremely happy with the food. I had the elote and the Chopped Salad w/ chicken. Both were absolutely amazing and good sized portions. Everything was fresh and seasoned perfectly. I can't wait to come back next time to try the tacos!

I tried several times to order from there during this period of being closed and today was the last time. The girl who answered the phone was annoyed by my call and said I need to place my order online. I explained I could not find the item I wanted do I called. She put me on hold twice then said sh...

Great concept, bad service

Too many kids (21 and under) are running the place. The kitchen, from what i was able to see, were a bunch of highschool students. Not many adults to guide the employees if they messed up, which reflected to quality of my food. Taco undercooked, the pineapple was served...

Maybe it's the fact that you are in downtown Brighton but I came out from the city hoping to find a cheap little place for tacos or some tequila like in the city and this wasn't it. Honestly, the tacos were alright. Nothing wrong with them but everything is 2 dollars to expensive. A 35 dollar meal w...

Don't eat here if you want Tex-Mex and you want all your food to taste like refried beans. I've been twice now and have tried different things each time. Everything about this restaurant is amazing! The food is like a party in my mouth, and everyone should be coming!

Disappointed in the food..menue needs more information. Salsa too hot with chips a milder one should be available.we order the chips and salsa and was not told it was hot. Couldn't eat them. I expected the tacos to be hard shell they were soft served with only a fork. Finally ate the meat on the ch...

We've just been here once and had a really good experience. The servers were pleasant, the atmosphere is great and all of our food came out correct and with an appropriate wait time. It wasn't too busy when we went, so that probably helps. It's a little pricey - I would have felt better if everyt...

I guess it is unfair to leave a review because I have not eaten there yet, but, it seems that if I want one steak, chicken, & pork taco, it is going to cost $14!!!!
That's outrageous! If they are true street style tacos, which they appear to be, they can't have more than .75 - 1.0 oz. of meat, poss...

We were greeted by a happy hostess when we waked in. The amazing service continued from there. Horchata to start, the perfect combo of sweet and cinnamon. The elote was fantastic. Followed by a torta. Wow, what a torta couldn't have dreamed it any better. They offer fresh jalapenos, great addition ...

This place is great! Different enough options to be intriguing but not too off-the-wall so you aren't sure if something sounds good. Also a good number of options, not too many so you're totally overwhelmed, but not too few.
The elotes are very good, they use chipotle mayo which spices it up nicely...

Always on point!! I've been 6 times since opening and I've been amazed every time. But what really made me write this review was the carryout during the pandemic... usually carry out is sub par from most places. Just not as good as normal. But this meal was absolutely fabulous!! So freaking good....

This was my first time going here for dinner. Nice bar on the main floor with some seating. The 2nd floor is the main floor for eating. I had the Rice Bowl with pulled pork and of course a cold Beverage. I would definitely go back. Thank you keep up the good work.

So glad to have this in Brighton! We ordered take out so we were in and out quickly but they did a great job remodeling the building inside and out. Looking forward to our next visit where we will dine in. Food was fantastic, we ordered 3/4s of the menu to sample and enjoyed everything.

Sangria was awesome! Everyone tried different tacos and loved them!
(Although a few of the tacos came out cold - others were hot. Probably a combination of being new and busy. Not a deal breaker though.)
Chips, salsa, queso, and guac are a must have starter.

The tacos come out family style on ...

We have been 2 times now. Our first visit was as a family the food and drinks were tasty and plentyful. Our teens liked the carne asada for the spicy flavor. Small details were addressed immediately and the staff were attentive. From that trip we recommend the dip trio, sangria and al pastor and cho...

All of the food was great! We got the trio & chips, tacos (chorizo and chicken tinga), chicharrones (great lime salt seasoning), & the torta. We never get dessert but ended up getting the churros with a chocolate dipping sauce (nice hint of orange in the chocolate sauce). The spicy margarita was ama...

This was our family dinner for the night, wanted to experience the new restaurant claiming the Authentic Mexican food and its fine eatery. Lets just say, I gave it one star for the courteous waitress staff who served us, even thought it was a long wait. The food on the other-hand was NO where near ...

Been here a few times and it's always good, but our most recent visit was phenomenal! Food was delicious as usual but our server Michelle really sealed the deal. She anticipated all of our needs and never left us asking for anything or wondering where she was. We will be back!

This place is visually stunning, inside and out!

If you ever went to this space when it was the former establishment, your mind will be blown! It's so open and flows incredibly well. It's rather astounding, considering that the bar area is so large downstairs. Yes. Downstairs. It's two stories oh...

I had very high hopes and my expectations weren't met. Service was great, friendly hostess (even with an hour wait), server was efficient and on top of small issues. It seems that all of the reviews stating that there wasn't enough flavor/spice has caused them to alter some things and go overboard...

This place feels like it was created with love. The portion size is perfect, and the food is satisfying without being heavy. I ordered the tostadas and they were DELICIOUS. Very flavorful and still felt healthy. My husband ordered 2 different tacos and thought they were both great as well. The food ...

The shrimp ceviche was surprisingly my favorite, although my husband argues that it shouldn t be labeled ceviche if it s cooked in advance of diving ...

My husband grew up in Southern California and I lived there some years, so we were excited to try El Arbol to finally get some Baja style Mexican here in the area. The fish tacos and chips/guac were pretty decent, but the prices just aren't justified. $24 for 2 fish tacos, chips/gauc, and two founta...
