A strong 3.5! The valet parking and decor gives the ambiance an upscale feel. The live music was a really nice touch, but it didn’t match the vibe of the place as a whole. The food looked amazing! However, it was mid at best. My burrito was cold upon arrival, and the tacos didn’t really have much flavor beyond the spiciness. The waitress introduced it as an “Elevated Latin Cuisine,” so maybe it just wasn’t appeasing to my palette.

Had a great first experience! Parking – valley only, the guys are super nice, there is no fixed price for valet from what I understood – so get some cash with you for a tip

Quemar is a mix sports bar, classy restaurant and lounge. Unfortunately, we don’t think it’s a good fit. Valet parking gives the place an upscale feel.

Excellent ambiance. Service was ok. I didn’t appreciate having to go back and forth with the server about a drink or food. I understand she was trying to explain the changes in flavor that would occur if we chose to modify it, however that was our choice. We should have only have had to say it once or twice. We still tipped but that was my only annoyance for the night. Other than that, food was superb, music was *chefs kiss* and the environment as a whole nurtured my spirit. Would absolutely dine again.

Interior is pretty nice and staff explained the restaurant and the wood fire cooking. Portions are decent for the price. The carnitas are flavorful. Overall had a pleasant experience.

Food was literally unreal, you could taste the freshness and quality of ingredients, it was like a bomb of incredible flavor. Service was wonderful too, we had two girls who made us so comfortable. Finally the ambience was so crazy, the mood lighting and modern decor made everything such an amazing experience.

My friend made us reservation at this spot after seeing it on IG. First the parking is a bit distracting because you must Valet, but once you get into the place it’s so we’ll decorated. Someone really thought about the design, everything is intentional. Even in the ladies bathroom they had real candles burning for a vibe. The lighting is low but enough that you can feel the vibes. The sheer curtains that offer natural filter light also helps with the vibes, oh and the lounge area is so pretty! We didn’t get a chance to hang over there long but I’ll be back. So for dinner I was a bit nervous because I’m super picking with food and a vegan style diet. The menu had a variety of options that I could enjoy. I ended up ordering the Yuca Fries: they were fire! I mean cooked to perfection and the hot peppers on top weren’t super hot. So good! Then I order just a side of beans and rice and they were delicious too. I can eat beans and rice everyday. The beans had a little spice to them and with the hot peppers from my yuca fries my mouth was on fire but I kept eating. I also had the guacamole with chips and also popped! I didn’t finish it all there but the doggy bag was a hit at 2am when I was up snacking. I loved everything about my experience here and I cannot wait to come back and enjoy the lounge and live music with some more good eats.
