    The service was very disappointing. We kept looking for the server. It was way below average. The food was good.

    I love the food here. The service was not that great. Out waitresses was not as attentive and forgot to bring multiple items after we asked multiple times.

    Best chips and salsa I've had in a long time (yes, this is how I judge Mexican restaurants).

    Arrived late due to traffic. They sat us once there. Service from Doug was great. The appetizers (guacamole), food (we had tacos and fajitas), and drinks (frozen margaritas) were delicious. We will go back!

    El Bebe is a unique twist on Mexican cuisine. The food was very delicious from the salsa and chips through to the main dishes.

    Service was slow and we were forgotten about a number of times. Plates were only partially cleared when we finished our meal. Drink refills didn’t happen. The shrimp fajitas were tasty but not a lot of shrimp for the price. Took forever to get the check.

    Great modern Mexican food. Guac is great. Everything is just very well done. Super thrilled that they let you mix and match tacos.

    Maybe it was just the night we went, but there was no atmosphere to this restaurant. We sat by the big windows area. I would try somewhere else if looking for a fun spot. We had 6 of us and we did have fun , but not because of the restaurant. Food was ok.
