| - Let me start by stating the 1 star is for the decor and atmosphere only.... everything else about the restaurant went downhill, very quickly.
My husband and I went here on a Wednesday evening. The outside patio area was very nice and since the dining room was fairly empty we opted to sit outside.
We waited about 10 minutes before anyone approached our table with menus. Our server finally arrived and took our drink order.....one of their specialty martinis and a blue moon. And then we just sat there.... tick tock went the clock. At last a busboy came to our table and asked if we wanted any water. We said yes and asked him if he could please, also check on the status of our drink order.
The wait on just drinks was outrageously ridiculous. A party of 6 sitting near us had enough.... someone from their group took down their drink order and headed to the bar. And yes, they received their drinks before we did.
A good 25 minutes later (seriously, no joke) our drinks arrived. Yay! Maybe things will get better after a cocktail?.... Not.
We ordered the "fresh" guacamole with chips, Flautas de Pato (duck taquitos) and the Arrachera Marinada (marinated steak).
The guacamole was all right - not bad, yet not great. However, the chips accompanying the guacamole were just plain awful. Not sure if they were sitting in oil for too long or were simply undercooked because they were chewy, very chewy. Although props to them for attempting to make fresh chips??
My Flautas de Pato were average..... similar to buying frozen food from Costco and deep frying them at home. Wait, I take that back.... food from Costco is much better. But since I was starving, I ate half of it. The biggest disappointment about my dish was the "strawberry jalapeno" salsa it was to have on the side. Maybe I had high expectations... but I was truly expecting to see fresh strawberries (most especially since they are in season) chopped up with some jalapeno. The salsa was more like Smucker's strawberry jam with a chive on top. No jalapeno anywhere. Not even a hint of jalapeno flavor.
My husband ordered his steak "medium".... it came out well done. Enough said.
The table next to us asked if we liked our food and we told them the truth. They also agreed and stated they would not return.
Oh! and the table of 6 dining near us?..... they got up and left since service was extremely slow.
Maybe the chef, kitchen staff and servers were having an off day? Regardless, we will not be returning.
