Read moreIt was just alright at best. The server was quick to come by and check on us which was nice. The decor wasn't bad but it was a lot. Hard to really focus on any one thing. There wasn't a really cohesive theme in my opinion. The food was nearly flavorless. I got the crazy chicken which had a cheese sauce on it. The sauce was really watery but reminded me of flavor when I did end up getting some in a bite. One of us got the Sopes which only had a hint of flavor, akin to wiping a used chipotle bowl with a rag and then eating the rag. The drinks menu is extensive but we aren't old enough to drink. Reading other reviews make the alcohol seem great and I'm willing to believe them. Sadly I think the food is only good when you're drunk and I won't remember to come back in a few years to find out. The menu is massive and has weird combinations of items. There's cheese pizza, tacos, and octopus all at one place that claims to just be a Mexican restaurant. Not only is there a lot on the menu but nearly all the names of items are in Spanish so we had to read a chapter book's worth of descriptions to know what anything was. Wouldn't normally be a big issue but being right next to King's Island, in the middle of Ohio, the place is in a really white area so it lends itself to being hard to read. I know that the names of items are authentic but my inability to read Spanish is equally authentic. The menu says that they won't take any refunds or exchanges. Had I known that before we went, I wouldn't have gone. If you make good food, you don't need...
Read moreFirst off, the restaraunt is beautiful and I loved the music and the vibe. It's very unique. My husband and I came for dinner & drinks. He had the quesabirria and had no complaints. He loved the food. I had the tamales and asked for no cheese, no sour cream, no dairy. When my food came it had sour cream. No big deal, I just asked for another plate because I'm allergic to dairy. The waitress came back within minutes with a plate without sour cream. When I went to take a bite I noticed sour cream on the avocado and there was no Pico and no beans. Just tamales, lettuce, and avocado. I had to wait 15 minutes before I found the waitress and let her know it seems like they just replaced the lettuce and put it on another plate. She let a manager know and she was told the black beans had cheese and so did the Pico, so they did not give me any. I showed her the avocado had sour cream still and she asked another manager what to do. They said they would add something to the plate free of charge. By that time my husband was finished and we were waiting on our drinks, so I didn't get any other food. There was no offer to fix the issue other than ordering something else. The drinks were amazing. The bartender who had saw everything gave my husband and I two shots of tequila and we appreciated that so much. I would love to return, but if there isn't an emphasis about allergies to the staff and how serious it is that I could've had an allergic reaction, then I can't trust that. Hence...
