| - An old friend was visiting from out of town and mentioned Mexican for dinner. I instantly thought of this place. Been wanting to try it, and thought it would make a nice experience for someone from out of town, to see a bit of the city while dinning. So, we went. On a Thursday, dinner time, walked right in, sat down no wait.
Nice appeal to the eye all around. We thought we're hungry, Mexican, chips and salsa when you sit! Not so much here...Our waiter, Steven was excellent. He was a little shy when I asked where the chips and salsa were and he coyly said it's $2.00....LOL are you kidding me? Bring em out. But, honestly this was off-putting. How in-expensive is it for the restaurant to put out chips and salsa?! Which is expected, standard at least (I thought) at a Mexican joint. We had to pay for parking, that's the least they could do! The salsa was good though. If you're looking for a stiff drink, you won't be disappointed in the Margarita.
The food: was decent. The pinto beans had some weird, wine flavor that we didn't like. The black beans were better. The carnitas taco was good, and rice ok. The quesadilla with bacon jam was great, the favorite thing we ordered, UNTIL the second to last slice was cut into and from inside came a HUGE piece of plastic packaging....the service quickly came over and took the plate and the Manager came over to offer another or dessert. They comped the tainted meal, thanks. We ordered a chocolate cake with a white spongy/gelatin on top ( I can't remember what it was). She enjoyed it more than me. Over all based on my one experience, I would not go back and would unfortunately not recommend it to my visiting out of towners.
