| - My search for good Mexican food in Las Vegas continues. I wanted to like this place. Reviews seemed good, pictures looked nice, love finding hole in the wall places... But unfortunately I was disappointed.
The service was pretty good. Waitress wasn't overly friendly and though she didn't check on us often, her fellow waitstaff did check up on us every once in a while to make sure we were okay. The restaurant was really empty on a Monday night at 6:30pm. Besides the birthday party they had of approximately 20 people they had maybe 3 other tables including us.
The food was not my favorite. I'm from San Antonio and know good Mexican food. I was raised on Authentic homemade Mexican food so yes, my standards are a little high. When I saw menudo on the menu I was super excited and a fellow yelper's photo of the menudo looked to die for. So I asked if they had it on a weekday and to my surprise they did (for those of you that don't know, menudo is usually served on weekends. Kind of a brunch thing). I thought $13 for a bowl of menudo was pretty pricey but I just had to give it a try. Well, maybe I was too excited because when I tried it my smile went to a frown. First off it didn't look right and looked nothing like my fellow yelper's picture. The broth was thin and brown. Usually when menudo is cooked right the broth has a nice thick, orange-reddish color. That's when you know the flavor is there. The flavor was lacking in their menudo, I tried adding the onions, cilantro, seasoning, hot peppers and lime to the soup to get it to where I wanted it but nothing helped. I ended up eating a couple spoonfuls before deciding to just push it aside. $13 down the drain... I decided to try my man's chicken poblano. That too was nothing spectacular and for about $15 a plate, I'd expect better. The chicken was a super thin cut of meat. The rice was okay though, it had good flavor and was moist. But honestly for an average of $15 a plate and not even being on the strip, I'd expect phenomenal food. Oh and when they brought out salad they brought packets of ranch and blue cheese dressing to the table. They didn't even ask what kind of dressing he wanted for his salad and besides packet dressing at a restaurant that charges $15 or more for a dinner plate? That's questionable.
Yeah we had a groupon for $20 but our bill still came out to a total of $44 plus a $7 tip for 2 people. That's kind of pricey in my book for the quality of food we received.
I wanted to like you but the flavor wasn't there and the price is too high to frequent this place often.
