Food: Cuisine lacks culinary flair

The standout dishes at Lagos Mexican Cuisine, though few, largely exceed expectations. The guacamole and chips are consistently praised by patrons for their freshness and flavor. The Yucatan shrimp enchilada and DE Tur Al pastor taco, however, hold their own. Regrettably, much of the restaurant's fare has been described as overpriced and flavorless. Notably, customers lament over the small portions offered, underscoring value concerns. Furthermore, the limited menu doesn't provide much room for exploration and variety. The cuisine at Lagos is commendable but lacks the creative punch one might expect.

  • Very Creative

    Authentic cuisine with bold, genuine flavors delights patrons.

  • Okay Taste

    Food is decent but average, needing some improvement overall.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu is limited, not enough variety to choose from for brunch.

Vibe: Ambiance steals the scene

Lagos scores high marks for ambiance. The restaurant's aesthetic can only be described as exquisite, with diners lauding the stunning interior design. It buzzes with trendiness and would make an instagrammable backdrop. The mixed cocktails are expertly crafted and sure to please the discerning palate. However, it is worth noting that whilst the atmosphere is suitable for dates, price and noise level may be a point of concern for some.

  • Great Buzz

    Frequent mentions of being trendy, instagrammable, and beautifully decorated.

  • Okay For Dates

    Ambiance nice for dates, though price and noise level received mixed reviews.

Perks: Inadequate perks in a trendy setting

Service at Lagos is a mixed bag: commendable at times, with unexpected delays at others. Facilities for group dining are in place, but timing issues might be a thing. The outdoor seating offers respite from the noise inside, a compromise you might want to consider. Conversely, parking is a consistent gripe amongst diners. Restaurant's dedication to accommodating special dietary requests is a redeeming factor amidst these disappointments.

  • Great For Diets

    Accommodating kitchen customized dish, appreciative of special dietary request.

  • Okay Outdoor

    Outdoor area might be better for conversation than loud inside.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Even with reservations, guests can experience unexpected delays.
