This is NOT the place if you are looking for real Mexican food & real Mexican experience. My pregnant friend and I were running errands in the complex and she suddenly craved Mexican food and wanted it NOW!!! I do not mess with a pregnant lady's cravings so we hurried over here for lunch.
This is more of a fusion Mexican place. I Wasn't greeted with fresh hot tortilla chips & fresh yummy salsa, or a lady standing behind a glass partition making fresh handmade tortillas. I don't even know if that exists in Calgary but gosh darnit, someone should open a place like that here. ;-)
As in the later part of the name, it's aiming for a trendy loungey feel - too bad cuz it'd be nicer if it was warm, cozy, and comfortable. The inside is kind of bare with a dark color palate. When walking in, I had expected to be hit with the aromatic fumes of Mexican food but again was let down. I even questioned if we had walked into the right restaurant!
It was sooo uneventful that I don't remember much from my lunch ...but
I do remember that it took a LONG time to get our food & that I ordered a bowl of tortilla soup on the side which was expensive for the tiny little bowl.
My prego friend was satisfied so I guess it was 'mission accomplished'.
