Tbh, I wish I could give this restaurant 3.5 stars, but I’m erring on the side of generosity for a newly opened restaurant. The place is clean and has been spruced up from when it was Boston’s with new chairs and decor. Lots of seating with a small bar. The lunch crowd was sparse, and we were seated promptly. Our server was attentive but left out a few salient details, and didn’t really guide us which one would expect at a new restaurant. We ordered the trio dip with chips for $12.99; it came with a bean dip, a queso dip, and guacamole and we were dismayed to discover that salsa was NOT included. In fact, in order to get any salsa, according to our server, we have to have it made at the table. Our server didn’t sound too keen on making the salsa, so we ordered pico de gallo and Tapatio. The trio and pico were a nice idea, but not very flavorful, so we were thankful for the Tapatio. One of my friends ordered mild chicken wings. They came wish fresh cucumbers and were topped with tomato sauce. Very unflavored tomato sauce. I mean, mild shouldn’t mean no taste, right? My other friend ordered Albondigas Soup and he said it was very good with a nice balance of meatballs and broth. I ordered the Sopa de Polla and it tasted good but needed a little help from my friend, Tapatio! The question is always, would we go back, and the answer is sure, because we should give new places a little grace. All in all, they need to work on their flavor profiles and serving experience, but we will go again for dinner and margaritas and review...
Read moreThis is a recently opened restaurant and the staff appears to still be in training. The greeter was obviously new, and was promptly assisted by another staff member in regards to seating. My wife and I were quickly seated at a table, the restaurant was fairly full. Drink orders were taken and menus provided shortly after. As observed in other reviews, no chips nor salsa were provided. My wife ordered the queso and chips appetizer and the fajitas with beef and I opted for the Diabla Dish with beef. The appetizer arrived shortly after the drinks, the iced tea was quite good and tasted fresh brewed. Our dinners arrived as the chips and queso were finished. My wife stated that her meal was very tasty and she enjoyed it. My dinner was also very tasty, the sauce was flavorful with just a hint of spice. (I will readily admit, I am a very poor judge of what is spicy. I keep a pepper grinder loaded with smoked ghost pepper pods handy when I go out to eat.) The service was adequate, but I did notice that drink refills were not offered. The portions were moderate. I finished my plate, my wife did not quite finish hers. Would we return? Yes, this was a pleasant dining experience and we will repeat it. As the staff gain more experience, I’m sure the service...
Read moreWe enjoy & welcome new restaurants but my husband & I agree this new business missed the mark. Interesting that it's parent company from what we were told is Anaya's. The menu is slim of options, no chimis & mostly their version of a typical Mexican dish. The usually complimentary chips & salsa is available for purchase with the caveat that the salsa is made tableside. Prices are slightly higher with most condiments an additional charge. My husband ordered the "su casa Grande Burrito" w/ steak. I ordered Nachos w/ Steak (an appetizer) with the intention of sharing them with him. The steak in both dishes was tough & chewy w/ grizzle. The Nachos were served in what one might call a dinner sized salad or soup bowl & not porportioned to adequately share. Nachos start at $9.95 with additional items such as meat, guacamole, Jalapeños and or sour cream an additional charge. My husband's burrito had meat, rice & beans rolled into it & covered lightly w/ a sauce making it slightly soggy. When I mentioned my steak was tough & chewy I was offered something else but I declined. First impressions are huge. We were disappointed but you...
