| - OK from the second I walked in I LOVED it !
Atmosphere - so welcoming and relaxing - my kind of place
Music - outstanding !
Decor - very nice, unusual, eclectic and cool
Service - very attentive and 5 star !
Drinks - a they kept coming all night which was outstanding
Ordered a "Rested" margarita ! Really very nice - then we ordered A pitcher of them - fabulous ! They went down very smooth!
Guacamole made at the table - fantastic !
We ordered the 5 course tasting menu. Well it was very nice. It gives you the opportunity to really taste the flavors of the restaurant and some smaller portions on their menu.
The servers that brought each course explained what was on the plates and some of the servers were actually very entertaining throughout the evening. All that being said we were full by the time the 5th course arrived. And the next few courses, we just took a very small taste of them, which was a shame.
The portions were small but the first course the tuna ceviche with watermelon (which was outstanding, and I will certainly be ordering that on my next trip) and pumpkin seed dip (okay but it needed some kind of a punch it was very bland but I will say I probably had about eight chips with it on so it was addictive). The reason why we were full by the fifth course is the first course of the tuna ceviche and the pumpkinseed dip needed something a vessel so you had to use the corn chips and after having guacamole with chips and then eating more corn chips your full - rookie move and we fell for it ! Damm
There was a salad course, small dessert plate Ensalada de Kiko, cooked quinoa very bland not to my taste.
Pulled Pork on baby waffles - very good !
There was another course and I really can't remember what it was.....
Baja Fish tacos - were good but why cod and why better & deep fry the fish ? True Mexican fish tacos they were not unfortunately.
Pulled pork tacos - we only had a small taste of those and I wish that that course of come sooner it was outstanding.
Dessert was to churros with the chocolate sauce, homemade caramel sauce, and a strawberry sauce they were very light and fluffy delicious.
All in all had an absolutely wonderful night I really enjoyed this place..... we had tried to get reservations here a number of times and actually came here during the Christmas festival and the place was packed, we couldn't even get into the front bar for a drink then, so I'm really glad we actually made it and it was just wonderful and certainly lived up to my expectations.
