Creative regional Mexican in a lively courtyard with strong flavors and cocktails, but expect long lines and a confusing window-order system at peak times.
Restaurant Summary
In a leafy market courtyard, Seis hums with a warm, bustling energy: lines at the window, margaritas clinking, and runners weaving plates through the patio. One diner put it simply: "The tacos and salsas were spot on, and the vibe felt like a mini plaza." Expect a casual scene with counter ordering and food delivered to your table; when it is busy, the wait to order can be real. The cooking leans elevated traditional rather than flashy—regional tacos like al pastor and birria costra, big burritos, and crisp chips with lively salsas. Most guests rave about flavor and portions, though a few found seafood overcooked or seasoning tame. If you like bold but familiar Mexican plates, this is a sweet spot; add a margarita flight or prickly pear juice and settle into the courtyard charm. Families do well here thanks to familiar crowd-pleasers like burritos, beans, rice, and breakfast tacos. The current menu offers vegetarian choices (calabacitas, crispy avocado), and sides can swap to salad. Kid reality check: seating is mostly outdoors, lines can be long, and pigeons occasionally wander—bring patience and a backup snack.
