| - I must've been there on an off night judging from these reviews, but phewf, man. This was a disappointing dining experience. We made a reso online, which was great! We showed up and the waiter seemed surprised to see us. He sat us, but then had a big table elsewhere and it took a long time for us to get drinks ordered. The Sangria came and it was yummy! Again, we waited a long time before he took our food order. The menu was SAD. 6 options, and all pretty bla-ze. I ordered the Chicken Mole. My partner ordered the Snapper, but the waiter said they were completely out of fish. All fish. At a Latino restaurant. So he ordered the Chicken w/ Cilantro Sauce.
The food did come in a decent amount of time, but it was honestly the worst food I've probably ever had. Definitely the worst food I was ever expected to pay $25 per plate for. The chicken was way overcooked, flat and dry. It was chewy and flaky and almost fishy smelling. The Mole sauce dried on the chicken and I could hardly taste it. The waiter kept making sure I knew how spicy it was going to be, but it literally tasted like nothing. The vegetables were two small asparagus twigs and a few square inches of zucchini. There was a cup of white rice with no flavour on the side. Like, what? Partner felt the same way about his chicken, but the sauce seemed yummy enough for him to stomach the whole thing.
It took us then probably 45 minutes to get the waiters attention. He was super nice about it and offered me something else from the menu, but we decided to go. He docked my meal from the bill, which was nice, and he said he was short staffed. Another 20 minutes for him to come by and take our money so we could leave. Within this time, a family of 5 came in, was sat, and then ignored for so long they all up and left.
The reason this place gets two stars at all is because there was some lovely live Latin guitar music playing and the waiter was really nice, albiet swamped. It was not his fault at all.
I won't be back. The quest for good Latino food continues...
