Service always outstanding. Food and drinks always outstanding. The chef there is amazing. No matter what we order off the menu it is always cooked to perfection and beyond delicious. Always top prime cuts of meat. Every dish always tender and flavorful. The arrachera (grilled skirt steak) and the ribs are our favorites and they’re the best we’ve had anywhere. On this particular occasion they also had an appetizer special, grilled octopus. Whenever we go out to dine I always check the appetizer list to see if grilled octopus is a menu option as it is a fave of mine so I was very happy to hear that it was a special that night. I gave it a try and it was phenomenal. Grilled to perfection and the seasonings and ingredients that were used in the preparation ranked this as my all time favorite grilled octopus dish. I can only hope that it becomes a “regular” menu item. Compliments to the chef , management, and all wait staff. Our dining experiences at Besitos are always A+++

Had a very delicious meal. Took advantage of the Taco Tuesday deal. The server made an excellent guac! We weren't rushed because they weren't too busy due to the nor'easter that was coming in. The fried bananas were very late in coming out but our server made it right. Will be back again.

We were a group of 20. Staff was amazing in getting our orders in correctly (due to the volume of the music and conversations). I was nervous at first and they killed it with accuracy and attention to our group was on point. Kudos to the staff!
