Well , what an unexpected surprise, but I welcome on!!
For starters, the presentation was very nice! Their menu wasn’t overwhelming either. They had all of the classics along with other dishes which created a nice variety. All dishes we tried had great flavor. Also, the service was much appreciated. They were very attentive during our visit and gave really helpful suggestions when asked. Would’ve liked a bit more lively music but it was still good.
The moment my teenage son and I walked in we were welcomed and that made us feel great! The decor is warm and inviting with plants that give it a homey feeling. Upon entering they have a full bar and the atmosphere was great! Compliments to the chef, not only were the dishes well presented but were delicious! Diego, our server had a nice personality, was attentive and patient helping me find something for my special diet. My son and I do recommend. Thank you.
I visited this restaurant with my friend and we had a great time! we came in around 6pm just in time for happy hour, so we got some drinks and appetizers before happy hour ended (didn’t get a chance to take pics). we then decided to order our main dishes and they were delicious ! our bartender was very attentive and always made sure we were enjoying our time.
we definitely expected it to be a bit full but we went on a thursday evening, so it’ll probably be more lively on a weekend!
if you’re looking for a nice happy hour spot or an intimate date night this is a great place to visit!
Bitol is an unexpected surprise because who would ever thought that there’s a craft Mexican cantina in a local strip mall! I was going for a sandwich at the other restaurant next door but I took the chance. I was surprised how nice the atmosphere was.
I sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. I had their octopus dish and it was delicious but the portion was too little and a bit pricey. The price would have been justified if they added a bed of arugula with the octopus.
First I had their margarita then my second was a coconut-based cocktail. Little did I know that it is served with some flair and flambé! It was amazing! They’re serious in their bar game. They even have dehydrated citrus wheels. Impressive!
I’m going back soon.
Been here a few times now and while a little pricey for Mexican food, it is pretty good. Their chicken enchiladas are my favorite entree, and the queso and breaded cauliflower are my go-to apps. For dessert, you can’t go wrong with the churros. Bitol has a very relaxed atmosphere and doesn’t get too crowded, but it is probably best to make a reservation. And if you are fortunate enough to visit during the holidays, be sure to try the holiday drink menu. I highly recommend the snowflake.
A fun place to visit with friends or a date night. They decorated the place for Valentine's Day and even folded the napkins into hearts. The first time I came was for the drinks so we just sat at the bar and ordered chips and guac. It was really good so we came back months later to try their actual food. The steak on the stone was cool because you got to cook it exactly to your liking. The plantains were good. I wasn't a huge fan of the green salsa, as it was bland. I would have just stuck to the original. For the dessert we tried the churros, dulce de leches and the brownie and ice cream. The brownie is a very very small portion but it is also rich and decadant. I would probably recommend putting it on a smaller plate presentation wise. I think I liked the churros the best which had two dipping sauces. Drinks were fun and delicious too.
Recently came with some friends to Bitol and everyone absolutely loves it! We had such a great time enjoying our dinner and drinks here. The staff is super friendly, attentive and created such a wonderful experience for us . The food here is just so amazingly delicious! Definitely coming back to enjoy again!!
We sat fairly quick on a Saturday night. Table of 4. The service was prompt. Drinks were great. The food we ordered was all delicious. From appetizers to meal. Steak was delicious.
