| - YUM. Any place that uses a ton of goat cheese in their food is A-OK in my book!
2 friends and I finally made it out to Lopez last night. One girl had been there plenty of times, but the other one and I had been meaning to try it for weeks! We were immediately seated after getting there and they brought by some chips and salsa. The chips came out in mini paper bags, which was super cute. The chips were delicious. the salsa was more of a pico de gallo, super mild. So, we added their "gorilla" hot sauce from the bottles on the table to it and it added a kick.
Our waiter came by to get our drink orders and once he realized we were all perusing the marg menu, he commented that every marg was half off and if we were all getting the same thing- to just get a pitcher! UH-mazing - a 45 dollar pitcher for 22??? YES please! Most places I go to with HH usually don't discount pitchers. Anyways, we got a pitcher of the golden marg and it was wonderful. Tart and a bit sweet, but strong and delicious!
We decided to start with some guacamole and goat cheese fundido. They were both AMAZING. I've been to many-a-mexican restaurants where the guac comes out tasteless and I end up adding salsa and salt to it. But, this one was great! And the goat cheese fundido... MMM.... came with some fresh fried tortilla triangles. just YUMMY.
For an entree, I got the Angry Hippie burrito, which came with smoked gouda and jalapeno grits and a pickled slaw. The burrito was pretty good! Had portabello mushrooms, eggplant, goat cheese, and arugula. The portion was huge. I came home with 3/4 of the burrito! (Part of that may have been due to my overindulgence of chips, salsa, goat cheese fundido, and guac!) But it was pretty darn big. I am not a fan of grits usually - these tasted ok in my opinion, my friends liked them, but I've just never been a fan. The slaw was pretty good, but I love anything pickled :)
The service was pretty good. Our waiter was super friendly and funny. The girl who kept bringing our various dishes out was also super friendly. She talked to us for a bit about the menu and was very helpful when we asked about different entrees we were thinking about ordering. There was a loooooong period of time while we were eating our apps, where our waiter was MIA. Our apps were pretty much cleared before he even came by to take our dinner orders. But, once we noticed how quick the food actually came out after it was ordered, we figured it was purposely done that way.
As far as price goes, I agree with one of the reviewers who mentioned that yes... it is expensive but you go there knowing the prices - they have them listed on the menu. It's not your average greasy mex place (which I LOOOOOVE too)- so yes, prices are higher. But, in my opinion the quality and the portions make it worth it. (but no, I don't know if 7 to 11 dollars for a single taco is necessary worth it in my book)
Overall, we had a good experience and I will definitely be returning again to drink some more margs and try some different things on the menu :)
