Stopped in here after my girlfriend picked up keys to her new place just up the street. I've seen La Tentacion's menu online and I've wanted to try this place for a while.
All of their ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were mostly amazing. There were a couple of things that were absolutely well prepared, but not to our taste. We were experimenting, an we learned -- it's all good.
Highlights were the Pico de Gallo appetizer and the Steak Enchiladas. They were generous portions, had great flavor, presentation and texture. The Scallops Ceviche was a surprise, in that the scallops were served chilled and sliced, which wasn't to her liking. The citrus dressing and the corn compote that accompanied had great flavor and were excellent. The Queso Fundido with chorizo sausage had a marvelous flavor, but could be creamier.
Our server was prompt, friendly and attentive. Our meals came out quickly. Couldn't be happier with the service.
Overall, it was an excellent experience. Can't penalize them for new things we tried that there was nothing wrong, we just didn't enjoy it. Hey, that's why you try new things, to see what you like and what you don't. This is just up the street from my girlfriend's new house, we'll...
Read moreMy husband and I were craving nachos. We had driven by this restaurant numerous times in our travels. It always appears to be busy, so we thought we would give it a try and order chicken nachos to be delivered to our home. I called at 6pm to place the order and was told "45-60 minutes". It came to be 7pm. (I am a gentleman and understand that things happen, although 1hr for a delivery is horrible, regardless). It was then 7:10. I called to check on the status. A male answered and put me on hold for 5 minutes. I hung up and called back. A female answered and I explained the situation. She said, "we are busy". Are u serious???!! That was her excuse!!!! I said that is not my fault, I AM the CUSTOMER ( that is the goal of any business, to be busy and provide a great service that customers want to go back to). She put me on hold, came back, then said maybe it was not picked up by the driver. She put me on hold again, then came back and said it would be delivered in 3 minutes. I hung up. 3 minutes turned into 12 minutes!!! I didn't call back and finally the food was delivered. It was not even warm. You could tell it had been sitting for a while. Going forward, we will stick with TACO BELL!! MUCH CHEAPER...
Read moreAfter reading all the rave reviews, we were so excited to try this restaurant! Unfortunately, I'm not sure what all the hype is about. The place is very cute, with serape curtains, lights on the ceiling, and lots of houseplants. But the food was not great. My husband ordered the burria tacos and they were floppy and flavorless. There was a hair on my plate and that wasn't the worst thing about my burrito. Our son switched out his tacos (gave them to us) because there was a mint sauce on them, which he said "tasted like gum" and got a burger. The burger was a little undercooked, but not terrible. Our nachos were the safest bet. They were loaded with meat and cheese. Dessert selection needed some help (not everyone likes flan) and I had my plate taken away from me while I was literally dipping a fry in ketchup, so I'm not sure why everyone raves about the service, either. I'm glad we went and tried it, but we won't...
