    Something was wrong with speakers in the bathrooms, they were blasting the music and were broken so it was scratchy and loud which not ideal or pleasant. Our server messed up our order after telling us we were her only table and the kitchen was out of fries, which was disappointing on Saturday night at 7pm when half the restaurant was empty.

    Friendly staff waiting at the entrance who escorted us to a table seated for six. We were next to the retractable wall which eventually was opened and allowed for fresh air in the restaurant. The manager first checked with our group if it was okay before opening the wall, which was courteous and welcoming. The food and portions for the Fajitas were sufficient and our waitress provided great customer service, always checking on us, refilling sodas and water and quickly helping with any inquiries. The music and ambience were great and the volume was a little high, requiring for louder talk and chatter within our group. Overall, a very good experience for our first visit at Urbano.

    All-around bad experience. Tried to seat us at a table where literally you had to hold onto your large menu to keep the ventilation system from blowing it out of your hand. Then they offered us a table where a large portable AC unit was blasting directly at one side of the table. (At the same time, they had their doors propped wide open, even though it was near 80 F outside.) We both sat on the less-windy side of that table, only to find that water was dripping onto our head and shoulders from up near the ceiling. Meanwhile, three or four empty tables nearby were not cleared for half an hour. It was over 25 minutes before someone took our order, and we had to beg for the complimentary chips and salsa. (Some of the chips were literally encrusted with salt.) The food came out relatively quickly, and it was just OK, although the special Al Pastor tacos were hardly enough for a meal and dwarfed by the adjacent pile of rice on the plate. To top it off, loud music was playing in this concrete-floored, metal-ceiling space, such that we had to raise our voices to have a conversation, even though we were crowded together on one side of the table.

    Terrible service. The table next to us had the same issue with the same server. We didn’t even finish eating and she was trying to clear the table. Our reservation was for 6pm. I checked the time when she began doing this and it was 630… Chips were old and stale. Never asked if we needed our drinks refilled. Bathroom toilet paper stacked in a stall? And don’t ask for more sour cream if something is too spicy, that’s an up charge we were told. Eye roll. Not that I care but really?

    Our first visit. The food was good as were the margaritas. However, the sides ( sour cream, guacamole etc) were served in very little quantities. Noise level was very high. This did give the place a great vibe, but at-table conversation was hard.

    I like eating here, and the service was good. No air conditioning though? On a 90 degree day? The big frozen margarita helped.

    The location is wonderful and sitting outside as the sun set was magic. But that was the high point. We didn’t get napkins and utensils until we stopped and asked after our food arrived. The service was not good. Each request required us to find our waitress. The mango frozen margarita was good. The steak and shrimp fajitas were greasy and had no flavor. The chips and salsa were good. We ordered Sopaipillas for dessert. They were awful and hard. It was basically thick hard chips and some ice cream. We had two bites of ice cream and then got the check. We are never coming back here. Easily the worst meal we have had in the Mosaic district.
