| - I hate to ruin their reputation based solely on my taste preferences so my 3 star rating includes all aspects of our experience. Note that they are not about traditional Mexican food, which they do not claim to be, but they also are not typical Southwest flavor either, which they do claim (it has the traditional SW look, but not the taste).
Main complaint: Everything we ordered had an interesting flavor/ spice added to it, and for me it was not subtle at all, just overpowering, & made everything taste the SAME! Not sure what it was-- chipotle? curry? smokey, spicy combination of something or other-- but it didn't work for me at all. I got bored with the same taste in my rice, my beans, my pork, the other rice (green), ugh... I even tasted the other entrees in our party of 4, and that same strange flavor permeated them all.
5 star service from an amazing waiter!
4 star salsa & chips. Super yummy! This is where that strange secret ingredient worked best, in the salsa.
4 star presentation & quality of food/ seemingly fresh.
2.5 star execution. Undercooked green rice & barely warm beans. (Although, perhaps this style of green rice is supposed to be slightly crunchy?)
2 star taste & flavor creativity.
They have great reviews so obviously people like their food, but our group agreed, we would not return. More for others to enjoy, I guess. It's worth trying while in Vegas if only to experience an interesting, non-traditional take on Southwest/ Mexican food.
