| - Went here Saturday night during the Christmas Market. We called to ask about reservations a week before, but they said they weren't taking any. So when we arrived, we were warned the line up was going to be 1.5 hours to get in to the restaurant - and it was.
This is an amazing place for decor and the inside was definitely worth checking out! I'd go here for something fancy or to celebrate a special occasion.
However, the food wasn't as good as it looked. It was more about the experience of the atmosphere - amazing displays, decoration, dim lights, and loud music.
The waiter explained that portion sizes of the food are small because they are shareables. It was good advice.
We ordered a grande guacamole and individual items that we shared with one another.
It started off positively with the guacamole. The fact that it's made fresh in front of you is a nice form of presentation.
However, the actual items we ordered were subpar. I've had much better Mexican food elsewhere. The menu showcases a lot of interesting things, but when I started eating most of the things I felt like there was too much going on.
I ordered the Pescado en mole blanco which was grilled mahi mahi fish, black squid rice, and grilled pineapple. It tasted very bland. The fish was cooked well and I liked the black squid rice, but not together.
I also tried my friends' dishes which included Pollo burrito (aka a chicken burrito and probably the best thing I had there), baja tacos (too greasy), and Huarache albanil (weird after taste).
Something to note is that it was supremely busy that night, but our waiter was very attentive. Kudos to them for having such an excellent team!
Overall I most likely wouldn't come here again for food, but I was glad I tried it.
