| - I wasn't overly impressed with the food or the prices. I was, however, VERY impressed with our server. He was attentive, comedic, knowledgeable, and overall just a pleasure to be around even though the place was packed. He talked me in to trying the goat cheese guacamole here which is said to be phenomenal. I will admit that even though I am not usually a fan of guac, this was pretty darn good. It had more flavor than I've been accustomed to and it was a nice surprise. I also started with a pineapple margarita which was refreshing although I wish there had been a bit more pineapple flavor to it.
Unfortunately after all the chips and guac we had, our stomachs had little room for our actual dinner. I ordered the smoked trout and crab chilaquiles which was a layered dish and good overall. It did not re-heat well after having to take 3/4 of it home. I realize seafood doesn't re-heat well to begin with, but I would have liked to be able to finish the dish. Especially considering the price. My boyfriend had the Tinga and seemed to enjoy it. I'm surprised he managed to eat it all but he's always been a big eater. He LOVED the sauces it came with. They were sweet, spicy, and delicious.
The food was good, yes, but I guess with all the hype around this place I was expecting a little more. Three stars for everything except our server, he earns this establishment a four.
