Master Critic Review
Westso restaurant
8.1
A Mexican steakhouse concept with an intimate, cocktails-forward feel that works best when you treat it like a focused two-course date. Go steak-first with one shared starter, then split a side so the table stays clean and premium.
Must-Try Dishes:
Carne asada for two, Ribeye, Pulpo (seared octopus)

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along nearby residential blocks; usually manageable on weeknights, tighter on weekends after 6pm.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy—jeans are fine if styled well, but most guests lean polished for date nights.
Noise level: Moderate—lively cocktail energy but still easy to hold a conversation at the table.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, especially during prime date-night hours.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—primarily a dinner-focused restaurant.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—limited options such as vegetable-forward starters and sides rather than full entrées.
Vegan options: Very limited—best approached as a cocktails-and-sides visit rather than a full meal.
Gluten-free options: Yes—steaks, proteins, and many sides are naturally gluten-free; confirm sauces with the server.
Best For
Better for: Cocktail-driven steak dinners with a romantic, modern Mexican twist and tight two-course pacing.
Skip if: You want a casual meal, large group feast, or a broad menu with lots of dietary flexibility.
