"Really good Mexican fusion with a hopping atmosphere. Friday night, and we were seated instantly upon arrival with no booking, but the place was reasonably busy. Our waiter, Patrick, was on top of our needs without asking; he has chips and salsa on the table, and water straight up. Shortly after being seated, we were offered a margarita taster shot, which was nice of them. The food was good and not overly expensive, and it was worth the price. While eating, Patrick noted we needed extra napkins and had them on our table before we even asked, which was perfect. Got the bill in a timely fashion, so there was no waiting for anything. They had a decent set of vegetarian choices for me, and I was happy with my order (fried avocado tacos). I only have a small complaint, that the music is played about 3dB too loudly, so it was hard to hear while chatting with my wife at the same table, but that's the only issue. This place was worth the Friday night out thanks, Howling Wolf!"

This place is not my cup of tea. We got the jalapeno poppers which is a hard pass. They were bad the pepper was very mushy and over cooked. I tried a...

This was more of a 3.5/5 but I'm feeling generous. Located downtown, this was a VERY busy spot to grab food. The service was non existent, and the music... View menu

I got the Howling Wolf burrito like I always do. The bacon inside tasted burned. It was a little disappointing. I did get the Georgia Peach for a drink though and it was absolutely delicious. Wish they had options for bag holders under the tables.

We went on a Friday for lunch and the service was very poor. There were 6 seated tables 2 servers and 1 bar tender but we waited 30 minutes for service. The bar tender eventually took our order and came around once to check on us after our food was delivered. We eventually just got up and went straight to the bar to get our check. The food was eh ... it's what someone would dream food from Mexico would taste like if they had never actually been to Mexico. View menu

Greeted and seated quickly and even served quickly! This one was a new record as many times you just hang around places and ending up you yourself indecisive what you want (go or being served). So awesome staff ! The portion is huge and have everything! It was a bit weird that the sizzling chicken was actually NOT hot... the plate itself was sizzling the chicken was just warm. The cocktail was great and had a kick and I definitely was not howling of hunger when left.

Went here based on all the positive reviews. Mistake. The food was not mexican food. It just had the names of popular mexican dishes. I got quesadillas with al pastor meat. That means the meat is marinated and then cooked. There was some sauce in the quesadilla but it wasn't anywhere near al pastor. The salsa with the chips and salsa they bring out was sweet and runny. Out of the 4 entries at the table only 1 of them was actually any good. We were mostly ignored by all the serving staff. The bartender had to leave the bar to seat and serve us. There were 3 other servers and they all ignored us. Was it the mixed ethnicities in our group? Was it the fact we were all girls? It was lunch time an...
