So, it's been about 32 hours since I left Gecko Grill and I can't stop thinking about Gecko Grill. Let me start off by saying that I'm new to Mexican food and by no means am I an expert. However, I have experienced food so unsatisfactory that I've left the restaurant in tears (I also may be a bit dramatic at times but thats beside the point). Anyway, to begin, the staff there were fantastic. The girl welcomed us in with a smile on her face and an eagerness to serve. She even let me choose where I wanted to sit, made me feel like an absolute queen. In this case, I guess you could say I was la reina de los geckos. I chose one of those hybrid booth tables with chairs on one side. The chairs almost lost Gecko Grill a star since they were probably bought at the Flinstones' local Ikea. Hard as a rock. The booth side was fairly comfortable, which made up for the chairs. Being the bougie princess I am, I ordered a water with lemon. Surprise, surpise, they brought out the typical chips and salsa with my drink. I was nervous about the chips being stale but to my surprise, they were warm and crunchy. There were the red and green salas. The red one, in my opinion was the better of the two. Just enough kick to enjoy without feeling the need to drown yourself in a cool beverage (I'm not too big on spices lately, so it might not be enough kick for others). Moving on to the main course, which didn't take long to get to me, I ordered the Grande Seafood. Presentation=Flawless. As you can see in the picture, they added a cute little Mexican flag which is what earned themselves their fifth star in my review. The Taste=Well, I tell you wHat, my soul left my body. When I say my soul left my body, I mean, in my moment of bliss, she went down to a small, seaside Mexican village and sat down in my long, lost abuelita's cocina. With the warm, salty sea breeze blowing into the room and filling my nostrils with the perfect balance of sweet, savory crab and tortillas, I felt at home. Number one, I'm not Mexican. Number two, I've never been to Mexico. This dish was an ablsoute experience. 10/10 would recommend. There is a nice patio area with a bar that I'll be trying next time. This girl was complaining about her margarita being too small but at this point, Gecko Grill can serve me kool-aid and I'd still rate it 5 stars after my lunch yesterday.
