URBANA Mexican Gastronomy & Mixology — Restaurant in Anaheim

My husband and I visited this "restaurant" today on Fathers day. This was our first time at the packing district at all together so we were shocked at the way we were treated. When we arrived at Urbana the "hostess" proceeded to tell us very rudely we had to leave our stroller outside also we had to "look around" if there was a free high chair. I told her we would wait until there was one free and so it would be two adults and one child. She then asked me after I had just said that, how many people? Very rudely I might add with an attitude as if we were wasting her time. Then we proceeded to sit down and ordered from the happy hour as well as two main entrees and two drinks. Well I asked for milk and was told they had to check. They didn't. So looking at the menu previously there was nothing on there a 1 year old could eat. I got up because my son was hungry and proceeded to walk around. I found a crepe place and got my son one of those to eat so he could sit with us in peace in Urbana. Well I go back in and sit down and 3 minutes later the hostess rudely comes up and says you can't have outside food. I said that there was no food on the menu for a 1 year old and it's father's day! She didn't care. 2nd person comes up. Took it away from him and he screams as loud as he could. I said good boy and I pray he screamed the whole time so they understood how stupid it was for us to not have our 1year old get food when we were already spending $70. Same story from her, no sympathy. Told her there was a hair in my entree at that point, which there was and she says oh. Oh, that's it!! 3rd man comes up and says we can't have outside food or drink. He proceeds to tell me there was a sign. Haha. Yeah cuz I make it a point to read every sign at the front of a restaurant in back of the hostess......Ok. Now we are being harassed. We already took it from our son. I have a hair in my food. Ridiculous!! The 2nd girl comes back and says can I get another plate for you, pointing to the plate with the hair. I said no! I had already eaten 80 % of it! Seriously!! We asked for the bill 3 times and were so furious we had to wait so long for it! I would Never go back there and wouldn't recommend them to anyone. No hearts. The least they could have done was take the plate with the hair off the bill!! If this is what the world is coming to we...

Urbana is a contemporary Mexican restaurant located inside Anaheim Packing House. It's not a big place. Reservation is highly recommended. We came here on a Saturday. Not only Urbana was completely packed, The entire Anaheim Packing House was completely packed. Everything on the menu looks good. Since it was our first time at the restaurant, the waitress recommended a few popular items to us.

The cocktails here were definitely tasty, although I would like it to be stronger, and maybe less ice.

For starter, we had Elote Callejero, Mexican street style corn. Corn had a aioli spread and sprinkled with paprika and cheese. This was very good, and I might imitate and make something like this at home.

The Ceviche here didn't look anything special. But when you have a bite in your month, it was like flavor explosion. Fresh seafood with citrus and spices. It was probably one of the best ceviche we've ever had.

Enchiladas Suizas was just alright. It was a solid dish, but didn't really stand out.

Tacos, on the other hand, was exceptional. Each taco is $5, and you can mix and match to create your own plate. We picked Pork Belly and Al Pastor. I love the pork belly taco. Tender and fatty pork belly just melt in your mouth. Dr. P love the Al Pastor, very meaty and spicy.

Dr. P was so happy with the tacos that he decided to have some tequila to go with it. Don Julio Blanco was very smooth. Although I think $12 is very pricy for a shot of tequila.

We had a great time at Urbana. Both food and service were great. We also had fun walking around Anaheim Packing House after dinner. We would definitely come back for their ceviche and tacos again. Since both are on their happy hour menu, we'll be back for...

Okay honest review, first time at this restaurant.

Is very difficult to get to this small little restaurant , is inside a food court, the restaurant is on the lower area and you need to walk through a lot of different restaurants to get to URBANA.

The place is really small , not big at all the seating area not very big , and a bit uncomfortable the tables are very close to each other you don’t have a lot of room to walk is small , THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR BIG FAMILIES. the tables are super small no room to put your plate and drinks, also no room to strech your legs.

The music IS SO LOUD , you can’t not have a conversation , I did asked our waitress why is the music so loud she said is part of the atmosphere of the restaurant. I had to YELL because of how load the music is.

The restaurant decorations is very cute and urban you can tell you are at a Mexican restaurant. I really like all the wall decor.

AGUAS FRESCAS , I don’t know who makes the aguas frescas they are not good at all, the strawberry one and pineapple had no flavor and tasted bitter . for a Mexican restaurant you really need to improve you AGUA FRESCAS THE TASTE IS NOT GOOD.

The food is very tasty, i got fish tacos and they were so good, and everyone was happy with their food. small portions but good.

THE WAITRESS: DONT expect good service they will take your order bring your food and they don’t return to check on you. pretty much you have to wave your hand to get some type of service....
