Tres Muchachos Wine Bar & Kitchen — Restaurant in Costa Mesa

Another wonderful visit at this adorable restaurant. This time we had the pleasure of Robert serving us, and from start to finish he made sure we were well taken care of. We’ve been coming here for quite some time now, and the consistency of the service is simply unmatched. They may be a small space, but the love and passion they pour into what they do reflects not only in the food, but in how they treat every single person who walks through their doors.

Robert really owned the floor, warm, attentive, and so knowledgeable, especially when it came to wine. My boyfriend knows quite a bit about wine and he was genuinely impressed by the depth and passion Robert shared. It’s rare to find that kind of hospitality paired with real expertise.

What we ordered:

Spanish Octopus Ceviche Tostada – This is a must every time we come. No words. Just order it and thank me later. Ratatouille Chile Relleno – Absolutely loaded and HUGE. I had maybe three bites and had to box it. Still excellent the next day!Yucatan Style Pork on Banana Leaf Black Bean Tamal – Not my order but my friend really enjoyed it. Lamb Shank Special – My boyfriend’s dish and he loved it. He did say it would’ve been even better with guacamole and tortillas, but still a standout. Chimichurri & Artichoke Hummus – Courtesy of Robert, and we’re still talking about it. So, so good. Flan – The perfect dessert. Not overly sweet, just silky, light, and the ideal finish to the meal.

Another unforgettable visit. We even told Robert to keep us in the loop for their next food + wine pairing event in December!

Honest review, food was OK, but if you’re taking Covid precautions stay away.

I ordered the fish and chips for pickup. The fish was decent. Not mind blowing but good enough. Fries were a bit underdone/soggy. On food alone I’d rate it 3/5...I honestly don’t think the quality was worth the price (about $16)

Rated a 2/5 due to almost a complete lack of Covid precautions. My household has vulnerable members so we’re trying to be pretty careful. I walked up to see a packed indoor restaurant. People shoulder to shoulder at the bar area, and nearly every table full, no masks. Most of the front staff and kitchen staff had their masks pulled down around their chins. There was a group of customers sitting maskless right in front of the doors and next to the cash register , which meant you couldn’t keep your distance even if you wanted to.

They did have an outdoor seating area but everyone seemed to pack indoors instead. This was one of the worst I’ve seen of any restaurant in OC. Especially disappointing to see as ICUs in the area are still 100% full.

Overall the food was OK but I did not feel safe picking...

Very good food. We ordered the Tuna Melt, the Pork Belly Tacos and the El Pastor Tacos. The price is more on the higher scale, but the ingredients are extremely fresh and unique.

I have Allergies and those were absolutely respected. Very kind of the Chefs.

The Tuna Melt is huge. It would be perfect to split. The flavor was more fishy then expected but still very good, there was a big amount of Avocado in the Sandwich - perfect!!! The fries could've been a little bit more crunchy.

The Pork Belly Tacos are FANTASTIC, the flavors so well combined. A tangy sweetness, but then the crisp of the Pork Belly and the freshness of the Heirloom Baby Tomatoes. It could've had a tidge more cheese. But it was still so good!!! The Fingerling Potatoes my favorite.

The El Pastor Tacos were good Flavorwise but the meat a little more dry. The Tomatoes were a good addition to it. I loved the Salad that came with it.

Thank you,...
