    Had a fantastic experience! Went for an anniversary dinner on a Sunday evening with a reservation, got in 30 mins early and that worked out perfect for us. First time dining and got a few recommendations on coming here and it did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was exceptional! Ordered the bone marrow, Australian wagu, one medium and another rare. Both cooked to perfection. Steaks come out on a hot stone and can be further seared. We each got a loaded baked potato and we were stuffed. Southern blush and old fashion(lots of whiskey options) were tasty drinks. We would come again! There's street parking and a small paid parking lot.

    On a work trip with colleagues, we picked this place on a whim—and I’m so glad we did. This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The cocktails were perfect, the service was excellent, and the food was incredible. The steak was cooked perfectly, the broccoli was great, and the loaded baked potato is a must. Thanks for a wonderful experience—I can’t wait to come back!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cuerno Bravo Steakhouse – Tacoma Hands down, this was the best steak and service my wife and I have ever experienced. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. The manager, Nick, and our server, Brandy, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Even other staff members, Denzil and Bobby, came over to introduce themselves and greet us personally — a rare and refreshing touch. The star of the night was our 16oz Australian Ribeye — perfectly cooked, incredibly tender. While we were offered extra toppings, the steak was so delicious that it didn’t need a thing. We paired it with sautéed mushrooms and their loaded baked potato, both of which complemented the meal beautifully. Overall, Cuerno Bravo delivers not just a meal, but an experience. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and a genuine sense of hospitality make this a must-visit for anyone who appreciates a truly great steakhouse Not to miss!!!

    I had the pleasure of dining there to celebrate my brother's birthday. The cuisine was exceptional, and the staff provided excellent service. The beverages were also strong yet they were well mixed and tasted really good. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. It is truly a wonderful establishment. If you are seeking a festive evening, the interior decor was almost magical and enchanting. I personally found it quite appealing, though I was not as fond of the back room, which I found a bit too dim for my preference. However, it did offer a very intimate and subdued ambiance, which some individuals might appreciate. I highly recommend this establishment.

    If you've ever wanted to try some seriously good A5 Wagyu steak, this is the place to go. Their Wagyu filet mignon was easily the best steak I've had to date. Was it expensive? Sure, but you owe it to yourself to give upscale dining like this a try every now and again. I highly recommend ordering the bone marrow as an appetizer too, its the perfect amount of rich and buttery. Its also worth noting that their baked potatoes are massive, as in last time I went I just ordered that as an entree and was very full. Don't skip on the cocktail menu either, I can't find a drink on there thats not worth trying.

    Went here last night for tye wifey and I anniversary. Parking was tough so make sure to give yourself ample time to find Parking. Wifey and I ordered the Australian wagyu ribeye. Steak was absolutely amazing and best I've tried ever. It's topped all other steak restaurants we've been to including high end steak restaurants in Vegas. Service - we felt our server was below par, we ordered drinks which took 25min to get to us, all for our server to bring us 1 drink and tell us it was the last one so... we ordered another drink which took another 25-30mun to get so we had to share tye only drink we had. We ordered a 3rd drink after getting our 2nd just to find 30min later that our server didn't put the order in for it. Not wanting to wait another 30min, we canceled the drink which we ended up getting charged for and had to wait longer at the end to get it taken off our bill. Overall Id still recommend eating here as the food is absolutely amazing. We're hoping that our service experience was a "one off" and do plan on going back when we can escape the kids =). Will update again once we go back.

    Great food and drinks. Our steaks came out on hot plates and we're were cooked perfectly. The drinks were well made and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend getting a reservation, they seem to always be busy.
