I was visiting from out of town and my friends wanted to come to this place. They had been before and were raving about how wonderful it was.
So the restaurant itself is cool. I like that it is an old house and that the neighborhood is pretty residential. It is unique. The inside is eclectic with lots of random artwork. All the random things on the wall like the half naked people made for conversation starters and things to joke about at dinner.
I was impressed when I called ahead to make a reservation. The host/hostesses were very friendly and were able to fit our party in when there was limited space.
The reason for the 3 stars is the food. That is pretty much why I come to a restaurant so that is the reason for a 3 star rating. To me, the food was overrated. The food was good, but not great. Nothing stood out to me. For the price point, I expected to be wowed. I feel like I cook similar food at home. I agree with other reviewers that this is not Mexican food. However, I knew this going in. I had watched a you tube video about the restaurant and the food is the owner's interpretation of Mexican food. To me authentic Mexican food is when the menu is written on the wall and you have to point because no one speaks English. This was more of a fresh twist on Mexican.
If I were to ever return, it would be for the happy hour which you can only do downstairs in the bar.
