      What an incredible dining experience! We visited Quixote to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and I honestly couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful evening. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was captivating. The ambiance is intimate, vibrant, and full of character, with such incredible attention to detail. You can tell that every element of the space was thoughtfully designed. And the food! Absolutely delicious, authentic, and full of flavor. The guacamole with crickets was such a fun surprise and genuinely one of my favorite things we tried! Everything we ordered was wonderful. What made the evening especially memorable was the beautiful custom birthday candle they brought out for my boyfriend. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture, and those little details are what turn a great dinner into a lasting memory. Everything about our experience felt special. Quixote truly understands how to bring together exceptional food, beautiful design, and thoughtful hospitality. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday dinner for him. We loved every minute of it!

      The pizza and pasta was absolutely delicious! This was the first time for my friend. She loved it! We ordered the rigatoni vodka pasta and BBQ chicken pizza. Our waitress, Jazmine, was great serving us and friendly. Definitely plan to return.

      EXCELLENT food, environment, and service!! Probably one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had!! The ratio of the toppings, and sauce were spot on. But the crust!!!! The crust was 1000000/10! Thank you for a wonderful experience! Can’t wait to go back to our new favorite neighborhood spot!
