I had a few things here. We started off with the chips & guac, which also came with salsa. I found the tortilla chips to be really good - they were quite fresh, thin, and crunchy. The guac and salsa they provided weren't bad either - I thought the guac was light on seasoning but had a decent avocado flavor The main entree I had here was the Poblano Chile Relleno. This was a green chili pepper stuffed with cheese, on a bed of some rice and beans I can't say this was my favorite. The stuffing being nothing but cheese got pretty one-note after a bit. The taste of the Monterey Jack cheese wasn't bad, but it felt plain. As for the outside, it was a large green chili covered with a light layer of breading from the frying process. The outside breading was a little bit crunchy, but I thought the chili pepper itself wasn't very spicy, and was more on the sweeter side. Also, eating such a large pepper didn't feel amazing in the stomach I did quite like the rice & beans provided in the plate, though. There was just the right amount of it, and there was a slight, but not excessive, sweetness to the whole thing. Pretty pleasant as a palate cleanser We ordered churros as a dessert as well, and these were pretty solid. They weren't as sweet as churros normally are, as it was a bit light on powdered sugar, but I found that to be better because it let you focus more on the churro itself than just tasting sugar. It was also a bit light on cinnamon, but the actual churro was fried very well and managed to be both crispy and soft. The Mexican chocolate provided as a dipping sauce was great as well Since it was our first time, they brought out a free Three Milk Cuban Flan for us. I'm really glad they did, because this was astoundingly good. It tastes a bit like Tres Leches cake, owing to the same combination of three types of milks, but this has an amazingly soft texture and you can really taste the egg in there as well. It resembled a pudding in a way, but was so soft and sweet it was hard not to eat more. This place is pretty expensive. For chips & salsa/guac that's free in a lot of other Mexican restaurants, it cost $10 here. Same with the churros. Each entree we had cost around $20 as well, which was a lot if you were getting just tacos or a chimichanga. The free flan helped, but expect to spend $30/person here. Overall, the entree was middle of the pack, but the appetizers and dessert were excellent. A little bit too expensive for my taste. 7.75/10
