| - Was looking forward to this place opening. Small, cozy place...casual, modern decor. Ordered a margarita right away (stay tuned) Had the Elote (corn) for an appetizer. It was very good. It had a hint of mustard in it which I've never had before, but enjoyed the twist (from normal street corn). During appetizer, I asked our server about my margarita (since I noticed the bartender just standing there doing nothing)...she checked and came back and told me that something happened when she entered it in the computer (???) and she would place the order again and bring it over ASAP. We then ordered our entrées. My wife had the enchiladas which she enjoyed...and I had the Chili Verde. My dinner had a nice flavor & decent spice level (I like it spicy). However, I would have preferred it in a separate dish or bowl (like a small cast iron skillet) instead of on a plate running all over & surrounding the small dishes that held my sides (kinda gross). By the way...the sides I chose, rice & slaw, were very small & VERY plain. Rice had zero flavor & slaw was dry & worthless (wife's plate was served with a garnish of it?!?) I originally ordered the Fideo but they were out (7:00pm on a Saturday night?!?). Back to the margarita... when our waitress dropped off our entrées (keep in
mind I ordered my drink when she first came by after we sat down) I asked her again about my margarita. She said she would check and, apparently, finally put the order in and I received it halfway through eating my dinner (ridiculous!!!). It came in a tiny champagne style glass (huh???) and after it was filled with ice, there might have been 1 1/2 -2 ounces in it (even MORE ridiculous!!!). The margarita taking over an hour to get served can be chalked up to new opening hiccups, but the overall quality of food for the way too high price, left me disappointed & again willing to drive an extra 20-25 minutes to La Hacienda or The Mission.
