The food, drinks and setting here are consistently excellent. Altiro's ability to put together a memorable experience with top level food is the reason my wife and I continue to return. The staff and management are also noticeably sync. I highly recommend their Margaritas, The Chicken Poblano Tacos and The Al Chilango Tacos. Plus the Salsa Trio with chips is a great starter.

It was snowing like mad outside when we swept into Altiro on Valentine's Day; fortunately they had a great little table for the two for us! I made a beeline for their magical cocktail, called Al Pepino... Spicy and smoky, rimmed with Tajin and festooned with a cucumber slice... Just divine. "Fresh muddled cucumber, fresh lime, cilantro, jalapeño infused vodka, & organic agave nectar," the menu says... I say--do not miss it! Because it was Valentine's Day (I think), they also proffered a festive red drink in a wine glass; a mix of rosé and grenadine. It was on the house and a fun way to start the experience!! I've been here several times, and the trio of guacamole never fails. Three scoops featuring 3 different flavors, served with flaky, freshly made tortilla chips. Always delicious and a great starter to share. The service was impeccable and we had a wonderful time. My only quibble is that the tacos were not quite as good as I'd hoped. The waiter recommended the barbacoa, but the meat was cooked in little cubes instead of shredded, so it was not tender, and arrived lukewarm. The sauces and toppings of cilantro, onions & roasted arbol salsa, were excellent, so that boosted the dish. My husband enjoyed his chilango tacos, too. All in all a beautiful night out, great service, awesome drinks and good food. We will be back!

Everything from the food to the service was outstanding. Would highly recommend the alambre, the barbacoa, the raviole and the fundido. To be honest you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. All of the cocktails are made with fresh juices and premium tequilas. Definitely give this place a try for a nice twist on Mexican cuisine.

This by far is one of the best Latin places in the suburbs. The ambiance is so cute and bright inside. The guacamole trio is out of this world. You cannot go wrong with any taco you get from this place! The cocktails are also incredible and fancy. If you are looking for a new modern Latin place highly suggest coming here!

Food - our table ordered soups to start with. We all chose the poblano who is a nice, creamy soup with cream and cranberries on top. Soup itself is delicious. Very flavorful and has a nice kick to it without it being spicy at all. It comes with a nice soft toast on the side. For my main meal, I had their special Altiro tacos made with tilapia, mango salsa and greens on top with a lovely mango puree. And a nice homemade strawberry lemonade to quench my thirst. Service - food comes out fairly quick and staff are cordial and professional and often come around to check in on us. Ambiance - very nice, cozy, but spacious. chairs are comfortable. lighting is simple. Nice place for a romantic dinner or business meeting. It can a bit loud depending on how many people are in. Definitely worth a come back to try their other dishes

Ambiance is great. Well decorated with a variety of seating. Service is also very attentive. We came by for a late lunch/snack so I didn't want to order a ton. We tried the Al ceviche and Al mejillon (mussels). Because I only order two items, it's hard to judge the quality of the food. The ceviche was horrible. I love ceviche and I've had ceviche in Peru so I have a fairly good idea of what good ceviche should be. The tilapia was cut into slivers rather than cubes and the fish meat seemed to have been left in lime juice for so long that the fish has been completely cooked to a dry, tough state. The lime was so infused into the fish that every bite was a shock of licking a lime. The fish slivers were packed so tightly together into the mold that you had to forcefully push the pieces apart. The ratio of chip and guac to dry, overcooked fish was not enough to offset the horribleness of the acid cooked fish. For this dish, I would give a 0/5. The mussels dish was so much better!! The sauce was like a warm tomato soup. The mussels were cleaned well and easy to get out of the shell. The meat was still tender and the dish came out piping hot. The little pieces of garlic bread were lovely. I do wish they gave more of the bread. The ratio of bread to sauce was nowhere near enough. This I would give a 4.5/5, taking off for the insufficient amount of bread. I am giving this place a 4/5 because I feel like there is potential and still plenty to try on the menu. The ceviche though was a nightmare so I would avoid that if I ever went back.
