| - I love non-gmo/organic food. I'll pay the extra cash when I'm at the grocery store, and I realize that non-gmo food is definitely NOT the norm when ordering from a restaurant. so this whole non-gmo- Mexican- restaurant idea was appealing to me.
I had no idea until we arrived that this place is located directly next to a strip joint. but it was no problem. I didn't have trouble parking at all. I arrived on a Monday (Presidents day) around lunch.. I decided to try this place, as it was on the 'Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in the US for 2016'
The food was just ehh OK. I buy corn tortillas that are non-gmo from whole foods, and even those are handmade with better quality/taste.
I ordered 3 tacos: 1 chicken, 1 carne asada, 1 cochinita, to get an taste of the array of meats/seasonings they offer. Also had carne asada burrito and albonidigas soup. None of these items were spectacular enough to return back here for. Maybe this place is more of a lounge than a restaurant, but it appeared quite the opposite.
It's nice that this place is open 24/7, but I'm sure there are more Mexican restaurants where I can get exactly what I ordered for better flavor under $45 bucks... (That's how much our total was, not including tip) And unlike any other Mexican restaurant I've been to, chips and salsa refills aren't free. I just don't understand the hype of this place. Using non-gmo and organic ingredients doesn't mean the flavor need be sacrificed.
If you end up at this place keep in mind it's 25% off for locals on Mondays and checking in on Yelp is necessary as the free flan was the only highlight of our visit. Usually flan I've tried from Mexican restaurants are a waste of calories, not the case here.
