Tempo Cantina (formerly Tempo Urban Kitchen) has a club vibe with bumping music and graffiti artwork on the walls throughout the restaurant. It matches the vibe of the restaurant.

We came on a Wednesday night and seated very quickly. Surprisingly for a Wednesday night, it got busier as the tables filled up.

It seems great for the younger crowd. We almost felt a little out of place lol The lights are really dim and their menu is with a QR code. It was slow to load the menu and they brought an iPad to the table. I’d suggest looking at the menu beforehand. The music is quite loud so it’s a bit hard to have conversation.

As someone who does take foodie pictures, I wish it wasn’t so dim. It’s great for the dishes/drinks that comes to the table with sparklers though. We’re all kids at heart, right? Very fun!! It seemed like many tables ordered something that came with sparklers 🎇

Take note that they have a 90 minute time limit. They are constantly taking away dishes throughout your meal if they think you’re done with something. It kind of gives you that feeling of being rushed.

The chips and dip comes on a wood block. I like that touch. The guacamole was good. The chips were thick and crunchy. The salsa had some spice but not too spicy. The little bowl of salsa is kind of small though.

The Margarita flight came with a sparkler, which was cool. I have a feeling that’s why it’s a popular thing to order. The flavors were a little weak though.

They have a lot of different food and drink options. I did like their presentation.

We ordered the Korean Tacos, which was very tasty 🌮 Roasted pork belly w/ chile-soy sauce, serrano sauce, topped w/ red cabbage slaw, chopped mango and lime crema. It was very delicious but greasy so make sure to ask for plenty of napkins. It comes with 3 good size tacos. I’d skip the rice and beans next time. They were okay and a little bland.

The sushi boat comes with 3 sparklers. So cool when it comes to the table. Very fun presentation with that wow factor!

The Strawberry blended margarita was good.

The Margarita flight came with a sparkler, which was cool. I have a feeling that’s why it’s a popular thing to order. The flavors were a little weak though. Not sure if cucumber works in a margarita. Not a favorite.

Overall, we enjoyed our evening.

Tip: be quick with your pictures and videos. The sparklers go out quick.
