Decided to have a casual night out with a friend at this spot. I have to say I was apprehensive despite all the negative reviews.
We walked in 30 mins early. I had a reservation, so we asked if we could sit at the bar till then. The hostess said it was okay, that she could actually seat us right away.
She was very friendly and even gave us a different table as we did not like the one chosen for us. I have to say we encountered four different employees during our stay and they were all very helpful and friendly.
Maybe we just lucky? Something tells me we didn't, as I couldn't even really picture these people being rude. So we sat down and looked at the menu. Our first server helped me in finding a drink I'd like as I wanted to try something different. I decided on a pear type of drink with 2 shots of vodka, very tasty.
We ordered the chips with the three different combination dips, the Mexican corn, carne asada taco, pollo frito and their taco of the day (philly cheesesteak.
The food was very filling I have to say! I don't understand why people are thinking that the tacos are very small and not worth the value. We could hardly finish.
I also don't find the price of the tacos expensive at all. These tacos are little creations of goodness.. what do you expect?. If you want cheap theres always Taco Bell?.
I most enjoyed the carne asada and the Philly cheesesteak. I will definitely pass next time on the corn and the pollo frito. The corn just wasn't that special and didn't stand out to me. It honestly tasted like something I've made at home.
I didn't dig the coleslaw in the pollo frito taco. To me it just didn't blend well with the other flavours. That's just my opinion but don't be afraid to try it because you might like it.
I am looking forward to coming back to try the other options. I really like the texture of the tacos! You can tell how homemade they are. Nice and soft with just the right amount of bite.
Overall, we enjoyed our night. We weren't rushed or made to feel uncomfortable. Mind you, I will update my review as I will be coming back with my man very soon!
On another note, I really enjoy the vibe of this place. Totally hipster atmosphere and the music is just straight banging! Loved every song they were playing. You might not want to bring your kids here as it might be uncomfortable for them as it is loud!
Look forward to coming back!
