La Noria Bistro

This is a really sharp restaurant where Italian bistro meets urban Mexican food. It is very lively and the food is either Italian or Mexican. The wait staff are friendly, professional and quick. In my dining experience it was a Family Style Four Mexican dinner which is $35 Per person. First was an appetizer of Chorizo con Queso Fundido. This was truly delicious with a generous portion of chorizo and just the right amount of melted cheese. Next was the main course that included Mole Poblano con Pollo. The mole sauce has chocolate in it and is slightly sweet but savory. The chicken was juicy and tender with great flavor. The Enchiladas with green sauce was different but tasty with slight heat. My favorite was the Camarones al Mojo de Ajo. Simply large shrimp with garlic, olive oil, butter and rice. The finish was a homemade Caramel Custard Flan. It's a small piece by standards but very flavorful. There is a top shelf bar that has great Sangrias and a nice array of Mexican beer. It's a bit pricey with a white wine sangria clocking in at $15 a glass, but the taste is stellar. All in all I highly recommend this delightful restaurant. It's perfect for small family celebrations or a nice dinner date.

Chose La Noria since it is right next to El Barzon, and I think they are a sister restaurant since they have some of the same dishes, and cocktails. What sets La Noria apart is the large open and bricked interior! It made us feel like we were on a patio!! Booths are very comfortable. It was the first day for our server and she did great! All the staff at La Noria was very nice, professional, courteous, and friendly. You can't ask for more. Protip: Get the Calamari La Noria (Calamari with tentacles, zucchini, arugula, and balsamic) what a unique dish, with with huge flavor and texture!!

For the first time ever, I with my mentor for Easter and we happened upon their brunch. It was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious and the staff was so professional and friendly. They came to check on the table several times and they refill whatever is low right away. I definitely an to attend again in the near future. They also have such a beautiful view to the outside of the restaurant.

The ombiance was great and our waitress was terrific but the issue was our food came out cold. The plates were so hot to the touch but the food was cold. Made us wonder. We sent it back, mine returned hot but my husbands was luke warm. The flavor of the dishes was great. We think there are Too many menu items. It was a bit of a disappointment.
