El Sitio — Restaurant in Odessa

This is an honest review of my first experience here. I purposely came at a time when the restaurant would not be busy, around 330pm. First impression, not bad. It does not look that much different from the previous business but that is beside the point. First dish i ordered was their Mexican version of Oysters Rockafeller. They call it Oysters "Oaxaca-Feller"! Only problem is, they don't use Oaxaca cheese according to their menu! Mezcal chili butter, poblano sauce, PARMESAN and a chorizo crumble.....NO OAXACA CHEESE! At best, I rated this dish at a 5 out of ten because the Poblano sauce overpowered the entire dish and I had no chorizo crumbles! When one thinks of Oysters Rockafeller, one thinks of char grilled oysters with garlic butter, lemon, bread crumbs and a melting cheese but you won't get anythinh close to that here. Second dish was their Ceviche Campechana. This was a fairly good dish. My only complaint is that I would prefer just plain tortilla chips for scooping up the ceviche. Instead you get heavily seasoned tortilla chips which makes the dish a bit saltier than it should have been. I gave up and just finished it with a fork instead. Solid 7 out of 10 here. Lastly, I ordered the Molotes. These were simply just fried corn pastries filled with chorizo and potatoes top with a black bean sauce and a spicy green avocado sauce. The star of this dish, for me, was the filling but it got somewhat lost when eating this dish as a whole. The fried corn masa seemed to overpower the filling at times so I ended up just pulling out the filling and coating it with the green sauce. Not sure why this dish did not meet my expectations but I will return to try it again because this dish showed promise of a true Mexican experience! Again, a 7 out of 10. The atmosphere was better than most places since the music was not so loud that it made me deaf! D'Maya or Demaya, not sure how to spell the name, was awesome. She has a great personality and made my time their enjoyable. I will be returning to try some of the meatier dishes before I make a final assessment of this restaurant. So, in the meantime, you should probably go check this place out and judge...

I’ve thought about making this review for a while since I first heard about el Sitio . I’ve already came a few times to this place and the first few times were ok. Nothing special really . I came a few nights ago with some friends and let me just say I was highly disappointed not only in the service but also with the people they have running this place . I couldn’t even enjoy my food because I came across this lady talking horribly to her employee I assume , a young man . the conversation went on for a while and I’m just disgusted because I hope that’s nobody who is in charge here because if I were an employee I would’ve quit already all I was hearing was disrespectful remarks from the lady with short hair who was speaking to the young man very rudely most of the night I could only imagine how she talks to everyone else ! Just rude and disgusting might I add . I took note of the fact the same young man and the lady i mentioned previously with the disrespectful tone towards everyone were one of the only ones helping us and tending to us while our server was elsewhere taking forever and she also barely spoke any English which is crazy because how are you going to hire servers who don’t even speak English come on now it’s 2024. I also don’t like that the other few times I’ve gone I’m very attentive and might I say nosey I’ve noticed another lady who is always wearing dresses go outside and come back smelling like marijuana sometimes and honestly for this restaurant being open for only a few months it should be shut down but that’s just my opinion . They try to keep this image like they are the best in the city and they are not . Sure the food is okay but everything else I see and have observed I don’t like and think is unacceptable in the restaurant service industry.. I hope that they can do better in the future or I will never...

First time dining here - there is a full dine in menu and bar area. Really enjoyed the experience will visit again.

✅ fresh flavorful menu ✅ friendly attentive service ✅ fun dynamic atmosphere

The menu was extensive including starters, tacos, enchiladas, entrees, and desserts. The chef did an incredible job curating and executing a menu that appeals to a diverse range of tastes.The price range per person falls around $20-$50 depending on how many courses you get and drinks you order.

We were promptly greeted by the hostess and asked our preference for seating. Within seconds of being seated our drink order was taken by a server. The pace of service continued throughout the meal. Everyone was very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our meals.

We saw two murals, one on an external wall and one inside the building that were beautiful and mirrored the aesthetic of the rest of the decor. Upbeat music was played at a volume that energized, but still allowed for conversation. Everything was very clean, and comfortable.

This place is great for after work drinks as well as a dinner with your...
