Alma Cocina Downtown

Had this on my list to try for a while, and it did not disappoint. Ordered multiple small plates, and each one was delicious. Don't love that they charge for chips and salsa, and it isn't cheap, but it is what it is. The guacamole trio was fantastic! The octopus tacos were my favorite but the prawns with coconut milk were also amazing, I just wish they served a rice with them because the sauce is so good.

Really good food! Service was excellent! Food is reasonably priced, except the fish taco (you only get one). The chicken dish is great too. like the other reviewer I tried the blood margarita and enjoyed it.

Despite its less-than-ideal location in a neighborhood that might raise a few eyebrows, Alma manages to shine brightly with its delicious food offerings. Let's start with the star of the show - the Chihuahuan cheese. Oh, my taste buds were in absolute bliss! The rich, creamy texture combined with the perfect amount of seasoning created an explosion of flavors in every bite. It's a must-try for any cheese lover! The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, with a charming decor that adds a touch of authenticity to the dining experience. While the service might not be lightning-fast, the food makes it a worthwhile journey. So, if you're craving a taste of Mexico in the midst of the city, Alma is the place to be!

We love coming here. Again, the service was outstanding, with Janell making sure every dish was perfect. Drinks -delicious, every plate spectacular and a Manchego cheesecake for dessert. Perfect end to a great day!

My wife and I came here for our anniversary. I was a little hesitant about an "upscale" Mexican restaurant at first. However, I am so glad we got to try this place. It was absolutely PHENOMENAL! We ordered: Guacamole & Salsa Tasting Fried Chihuahua Cheese Short Rib Empanadas Tomahawk Pork Chop El Clasico Margarita Mexican 66 Agua Fresca Ice Cream Sandwich The guac and salsa was great to sample all their offerings and is served with whole tostadas instead of the usual tortilla chips. The fried cheese was delicious! It comes sizzling in a molcajete and is served with tortillas. The empanadas were one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten in my life. I did not know food could taste that good. The porkchop is served with pomegranates that really make the flavors pop. The margaritas rimmed with Tajin are delicious! The Mexican 66 was underwhelming and rather small. I would not recommend that drink. The Agua Fresca changes every day and the one we had that day was okay after some stirring. We weren't thrilled about it but it was okay. The Ice Cream Sandwich was a great! Absolutely, delicious churros and drizzle. Order it! You will not regret it! I cannot wait to return to this place! It was a bit pricey but it is definitely worth it if you want to treat yourself.
