This establishment is very clean and has a modern minimalist interior. Expect to be greeted and addressed in a timely manner. Overall, the portions appear standard compared to other Mexican restaurant competitors so I was a little confused in what was described from previous reviews I read. The takeout platter was also sorted nicely and the packaging was very secure. Rice and beans tasted pleasant and honestly were similar if not better than what I’ve had elsewhere. Slight concerns I did have were in relation to the steak torta I had, while it was assembled well and the breading itself was toasted/buttered it seems the meat itself was a little over seasoned. However still tasty, especially with the mild salsa in which you can really taste the tomatillos. It doesn’t appear the standard light green however, but this could probably be as a result from a lack of cilantro. Another minor observation is in regard to the agua de tamarindo. While very refreshing, it could use an adjustment in the water to flavoring ratio. Once addressed I’m sure the taste could be near perfect. Personally I’d say, I’d rather order from here than from other Mexican restaurants. I plan on returning and trying the rest of the...
Read moreI’m a huge fan of Mexican food so as soon as this place opened I had to go try for myself. The inside is very quaint and not really decorated like a typical Mexican place. The prices for the quantity of food you get are not really worth it. We ordered a few different tacos to try. The steak had no seasoning, extremely fatty and had a horrible aftertase. The Al pastor was the same. The barilla had some flavor but it was also mediocre at best. The shells were soggy and crunchy at the same time with a texture that’s hard to explain. The beans and rice were less than desirable. The rice was a soggy much almost like chunky mashed potatoes and the beans would’ve been better out of a can to be frank. The portions are extremely small for almost $4 a taco. Overall it was probably the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. I hope it gets better but I’ll never be back to find out for myself to be honest. I wanted so bad for this place to be good since I hate driving clear to the other side of town for good Mexican. Wish I had something positive to say about the food but unfortunately I don’t. The only positive is the staff was extremely friendly...
Read moreI ordered my meal for pick up via GrubHub. My order was supposed to be ready in about 15 minutes. I give it some extra time and arrived 30 minutes later. They couldn't find the order until she pulled a tablet from under the counter and told me the order just came in. I looked at the tablet and pointed it it actually came in 30 minutes ago. She said it'd be another 10 minutes. I come back in 15 and was told it'd be another 15. I wait another 20 and go inside. The other still wasn't ready. I ended up waiting for another 30 minutes. No apology or anything.
The food. I was missing several items and of course I wasn't going to go back. Rice - soggy and salty Beans - no flavor at all. Looked like mop water Birria tacos - no flavor and didn't come with the typical sauce Potato tacos - I loved those. I might actually go back for them. Avocado taco - It was also pretty good.
The woman at the counter was pleasant but she kept giving people times that they obviously couldn't adhere to. Itd go a long way to acknowledge that people are waiting a long time. A simple sorry when the fault is yours...
