| - I came here for a birthday party recently. Great vibe and interesting decor. We were about 10 people and they had a long table that was perfect for us. They take reservations which is key for planning a large group event, but there are only seatings at 7 or 9pm I believe. We came for 9pm.
Overall, food was good. Nothing outstanding, but pretty tasty, if not overpriced. We enjoys the chips and salsa (you can choose green or red, get the green salsa if you like spice!) and guacamole. The halibut ceviche was quite good -- really fresh. For the tacos, you can buy single tacos for $5-12 each or get a platter of 3 tacos for $14. However, we decided to order single tacos because if you get the platter of 3, you can only choose one type (can't mix and match). I think my favourite was the verdura, and I'm not vegetarian. But the black bean/sweet potato/corn patty was delicious and unlike anything I've ever tried. The pollo tinga was more traditional, and it was good but very messy and didn't hold together well. I tried the pulpo (octopus and chorizo), which was disappointing as I could not find a single piece of chorizo in the entire thing! The octopus was a bit chewy.
The service was so-so. They could have been faster with refilling water and the pacing of the dishes, although they were very busy and I know it's hard to manage a large group. They were slow with clearing plates, and with each individual taco coming on its own plate, we didn't have a whole lot of space!
We had a fun night and enjoyed some of the dishes, but I wouldn't be rushing to come back here with other Mexican options around.
