Robert, our server/bartender is very cordial and friendly! He was able to juggle all the various guests/tables and remain attentive to each! It was our first visit, and enjoyed the food and service! I was surprised the menu was lighter in offerings than I anticipated.
We did enjoy the seasonal menu! No Chile Relleno? I was also anticipating signature dishes with “garlic” after the restaurant namesake. We enjoyed your restaurant, and will be back!

Hi A F, thank you for your first time visit and for taking the time to share your experience! Awesome to hear that you enjoyed our seasonal offerings and that Robert took such great care of you! Have a wonderful week!

This was our first time at Ajo Al's and we will most definitely be back.
We had the dip trio appetizer, the pollo con queso, a #2 combination plate with an enchilada and a taco, pollo Blanco enchiladas, and a kids quesadilla meal.
Everything was hot, fresh, super flavorful, and very large portions.
We also had 2 Paloma margaritas that were fantastic as well.
The service was great and everyone we encountered was friendly.
Can't wait to come back again!! I only got one picture mid meal because everyone was digging in so quickly after food was delivered!

Hi Katie, thank you for your first time visit and for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so pleased to hear that the food, service, and margaritas were all fantastic! Enjoy the rest of your week and we look forward to having you join us again soon!

The food is amazing.
The service is good as far as being attentive.
However, the beer is somewhat overpriced.
Domestic bottled beer $7.
Happy hour it's $5.
Worse, the bartender charged my friend and I for 5 each when we only had 4.
The ghost beer was charged at full price.
UPDATE: The owner personally reached out to me and apologized for the mistake and compensated me fairly.
I appreciated that a great deal.
Will enjoy my future visits for years to come.
👍👍

Hi M.W., thank you for your business and the feedback.
We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the food but disappointed to hear about the issues with your bill.
We’ll definitely take your feedback on our beer pricing into consideration.
I would also like to correct the overcharge on your bill, please reach out to me at patrick@ajoals.com.
Thank you, Patrick D., owner.
