Due to the size of the dining room, reservations are not accepted. Irazu is walk-in only.
Went last night. Took my two boys and one of their friends. They ordered steak tacos with just cheese and the veggie taco which has great rice on it. We started with 3 different kinds of empanads (we could have skipped these) and shared a side of plantains (love them!). Of course the 3 boys had horchata and chips. The restaurant is small and can get crowded so it is best to be earlier for dinner. Even though we were all stuffed we found room for a visit to Margie's Candies which is just a couple of blocks away.
Delicious food. Good prices. BYOB. Go for lunch because the restaurant is small and it can get crowded. My older son and I both love the vegetarian tacos. The horchata is a must for both boys. The plantains are awesome.
