The food here is pretty good and we loved sitting on the patio on a nice Sunday day. This is a small space but the food taste is mighty! The trio salsa was addictive and they did fabulous with the fish tacos. Service was good and the vibe was calm and cute for a day date.

The quality of food alone should make you come here. Their service is the second reason you should come, as they're extremely efficient & friendly. Loved their decor. It has a warm style to it with Mexican touches you'd expect with hanging lanterns & terracotta plants throughout the space which makes it very calm & inviting. It is small & intimate, I would not recommend this for groups larger than 4 people. I had their passionfruit margarita which was so delicious, my husband almost drank it all (he's not into drinks like that but clearly made an exception here). I had their steak tacos which were marinated perfectly & were so tender. My husband had their Mexican fajita which was one of the best things I'd sampled. It is not your typical Tex-Mex American style, it's much better. It had so much flavor with a Smokey finish I almost ordered another one for us to take home. We were so full we didn't make space for dessert, but from the looks of things we missed out on that because what they were serving to all of the other restaurant goers looks delectable. I can't wait to come back & try their ceviche among other dishes that looked so good.

Really cute intimate spot for Mexican food. Coming fron Southern California I have been wanting Mexican food, and while it isn't like home, it satisfied the craving. Passion fruit Margarita was the star of the meal. For dinner I had potato flautas and steak tacos, both were good. Salsas were delicious, but the chips seemed store bought and didn't taste like traditional chips. You also had to pay for the chips, which I don't love. Service was good, and overall I would recommend for a tasty meal.

Really delicious food, everything is so good! The birria tacos are a standout, but I also loved the enchiladas. Great neighborhood spot!

Just so solidly good. Everything was delicious. It's such a neighborhood spot. I actually didn't realize until I was done with my meal that it's affiliated with Buck's, which is only a plus. They've redone the patio and it's now an adorable outdoor dining spot. Highly recommend!

It's amazing how much Muchas Gracias has packed into its narrow dining room. The restaurant was fully booked on an early Saturday evening. It has a small bar area, a long dining room, and outdoor seating in a back patio. While the restaurant was crowded, the food and service were superb. The restaurant elevates Mexican cuisine that feels both familiar and yet unexpected. We tried the crab avocado salad (loved it), grilled steak, and enchiladas with mole. All dishes were delicious and the margarita was also a hit. Needless to say, reservations are recommended.

Loved it. Mexican cuisine with a bit of a flair, cozy place with not a lot of seating but what's there works well. Super duper cocktails! Love the salsas with the chips, not your typical salsas so that was fun. Loved the chicken mole enchiladas, simple but really good. You gotta try the plantains, they are sweet plantains served with a crema sauce and some sort of chocolate-y sauce, not really mole but super good, the combo of it all was awesome and different. The fish tacos were good but a bit boring, needed something more jazzy in my opinion, still good though! Loved the mushrooms & cactus served with the fundido. Everything was just really great, I totally recommend coming here just for the cocktails but also for a relaxed dinner atmosphere with upscale food. Prob not a great spot for very little kids because it's such tight seating, no room to do anything, but ok for a little bit older. Bathroom was very clean too!

My wife and I ordered from here on DoorDash for Day of the Dead and we really loved the Family Taco Guisado platter we also got with Baja Fish and Guacamole. Everything was delicious and fun to make and the Tres Leches was amazing too! We look forward to ordering from and/or dining in here in the future.

I visited Muchas Gracias with a friend after work one day and was very happy with my experience. First off, the margaritas are fresh, well balanced and sooo good. I liked them so much I ended up having 3! I also got their spicy rim on the glass and it was so well decorated and so tasty. I loved it! For food, I had their guac which hit the spot! I also had their burrito with short rib birria. This is typically a lunch item but they kindly let me order it for dinner. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the good customer service. When I arrived, my party had the place to ourselves but by the time we left, every table was filled. The restaurant is pretty small but packs a good amount of tables. There's also a parking lot in the back so you don't have to worry about parking. I do recommend visiting! Enjoy!
