My husband and I just left after our first visit to this place and it will be our last. I got the stacked enchiladas and the fried egg came out burnt on the edges with the middle part of the white completely raw. The rawness of the egg was obvious by the clear gelatinous coating near the yolk. We complained and the manager offered to get us a new egg (this was 15 minutes later after I was done eating). My husband said we didn't have confidence in the cook's abilities with eggs. She responded "trust me, we know how to cook an egg." Really? Because from your performance so far, I don't think so. Even without the half-raw egg and over-confident snippy attitude, it was bad. The meat was bland, the vegetables too greasy. My husband said his carnitas were so-so. Basically, La Ristra is really into their tequila variety and the food is an afterthought.
You may want to try the tequila to wash down the dry plate of uncomfortableness if you happen to bring a little boy with you. The presence of the young family's son the next booth over prompted an unsolicited story of their server's dreams of having a son which were not realized due to his girlfriend's recent miscarriage.
In sum, La Ristra needs to focus more on their product and service and not just the selection of their alcohol. Although being drunk might make the experience more palatable.
