5 stars and beyond! Lagos is absolutely breathtaking. My husband and I celebrated his birthday here 2 Saturdays ago. I made a reservation, but we sat at the bar top. We prefer bar top seating. The building, decor, colors, and furniture are all gorgeous. We started off our meal with the chips and salsa. They are worth the $5. Very delicious. I had a hibiscus martini and my husband had a guava martini. Both were amazing. We also brought a bottle of fine wine for a corkage fee. For dinner we shared the flautas and the gold chicken. Both were top notch choices! We would definitely order those again! We loved all the salsas and sauces that came with the flautas. The gold chicken was cooked to perfection. For dessert we ordered a tres leches cake. We also got a smaller piece as complimentary, since I had mentioned it was also our wedding anniversary coming up in a few days. The cake was so good! The bartenders were so friendly and we can't wait to go back.
The service was warming and the drinks....well let just say amazing! Thank you, Isaiah
Very nice venue with a decent parking lot. On this occasion we were here to celebrate my best friend's birthday. We had a large party. For a large party (14) they were to split the ticket up to 3 ways. The drinks were so pretty. I got a passionfruit marg and guava margarita. Both were good but light on the tequila. For these prices, they need to add more tequila to the drinks. Anyhoo Lots of food choices. We shared a few of the guacamole for appetizer. My besties grabbed a steak and it was good. I liked the elotes and broccoli that it was served with. Other at the table enjoyed their meals but no one as really blown away. Presentation and customer service was good here. For my meal I only grabbed a pork flauntas. I enjoyed my meal and took some of the guacamole and chips home as a supplement to my leftovers. Made for good late night bite. Overall it was good but I don't know if I need to ever come back. Guacamole was a standout.
We had a great experience here at Lagos Mexican Cuisine! The Tomahawk Steak and the Dos Mares Ceviche was delicious. The Drinks and Dessert definitely did not disappoint. Our server Tanya was great and very attentive. We'll be back soon!
