Gran Castor

Came in for brunch, but brunch was no longer something they do on Sundays be aware their main website still states that. Cute decor with plush sittings and fireplace in the middle. On to the food, had their draft mango margarita it was not bad. Chips with 3 salsas was good. Beef tacos were bad, the only dish with egg was a rice bowl with kimchi it was ok. Service was good. Have a potential to be good spot if the kitchen kick it up a notchFun fact in the middle of the wall a framed picture of the attorney that looks like an old porn star Ron Jeremy

We were excited to visit Grand Castor, especially after hearing about their brunch menu, only to be disappointed to learn they no longer offer it. The decor, however, is undeniably Instagram-worthy, and we were amused to discover that their lawyer has ensured a quirky homage to Ron Jeremy prominently displayed in the restaurant--a fun and unexpected touch! He wrote it into their contract. LOL.The service was quick and friendly, but the food didn't live up to expectations. My tortilla soup was essentially broth-less, and the tuna on my salad didn't seem fresh--I left half of it behind. The beef tacos, which should be renamed "hamburger tacos with unmelted cheese," fell flat even with the kid, who didn't finish one.Grand Castor has a fun atmosphere and great service, but the food left us underwhelmed. With a little more attention to quality and detail in the kitchen, it could be as memorable as its decor.

Loved the decor and an ambiance! There are 2 different seating rooms - one has a great big fire pit and cacti, and the other all sort of pink and shiny! There is a strange retro looking portrait of a man in the main room ;). Waiter told us an interesting story behind it.. food was somewhat hit or miss. My rice bowl was excellent! My friend's beef tacos - were not. Overall I liked this place especially on a cold Sunday- with a drink and a fire pit going

I visited specifically for the Christmas pop-up bar, and the decorations were super cute and festive. The holiday cocktails were pretty good too. I was planning to order tacos, but our waiter recommended trying the pizza since that's their specialty. I created my own, and it was good. My only issue is that I wish the waiter had mentioned that adding a side of Peruvian green chili sauce would cost around $3--I would've taken it to go with my leftover pizza!

I didn't have a good experience here, the food wasn't good and the service wasn't that great neither. I was with a party of 8. And one of the people in my party order this spicy burrito but when I said it was hot it was so hot that you couldn't even enjoy it and then the server had the nerve to give a her a hard and said they couldn't take it off the bill and give her something different even though she only took 1 bite. I ordered the chicken and steak burrito it was very bland and the beans didn't seem fully cooked. I would not go back here. Only if I had to come here for a party but I probably wouldn't eat.

Elote especial carry out pizza for my 1st time here. Delicious! Mixture of corn , few different cheeses & few other items. Nice a lite - bit of zing to it. Next time - dine in for me !

We enjoyed it! Only complaint the times are not served as indicated on the menu. Example: menu says lime and cilantro rice; it's lime rice and tastes like white rice. Very basic. The donuts indicate Mexican chocolate and caramel as dipping sauces but it only came with caramel. The caramel was cold too; that's a no no with a warm donut. I wasn't told these things before ordering and had to ask once they came to table. The chocolate chip cookie was nothing special. Crispellis's has theeee best chocolate chip cookies ever; always ask for them to be served warm or heat it up at home! Delicious!The elote pizza was so delicious! Full of flavor and crust is perfect. The tacos, guacamole, mango margaritas were very good. We will return just for the pizza and donuts! Yummmyyyy

Very cute and trendy place in Troy! Went this past weekend but they were understaffed and the 3 people working there were very sweet and kept us updated if anything was going to be delayed. I got the shrimp and chicken tacos which were flavorful! Unfortunately the tea latte was a little cold but I think it's because our waiter also had to make all of ours and just got delayed since it was busy so definitely not her fault. There is a cute fireplace area and a separate room to rent out for private events. Definitely would go back next time I am in the area!

I stopped in with an out of town co-worker for an early dinner. First, the ambiance has a very cool vibe with a large round fireplace in the center, couches and armchairs. We sat at a little two top not far from the fireplace. We started with margaritas, ancho chile blood orange for me, thyme pear for my co-worker. Mine was delicious. I loved the hint of spice and sweet of the blood orange. I could also taste both the thyme and pear of the other, neither flavor was overpowering, I'd like more pear. Co-worker ordered tacos, I ordered the burrito with carnitas because it had cactus in it! We both enjoyed our meal. Server was attentive. Unique ambiance. I wish the flavor profiles of the items were stronger so I could taste cactus, etc. Overall, I would not hesitate to return.

I love the atmosphere! It is a perfect places for friends to come together to have a good meal and share some laughs. the service was seamless and just right.
