Disappointed. There's no other word for it. Came here because I saw all the great reviews on Yelp and the 4.5 star rating and figured it had to be something awesome. Well, it fell short, very short of awesome.
I will say that the staff is very friendly. When we walked in we were immediately greeted by a waiter and he was very informative and nice. Plus the decor is very cool. I was already excited about the food thinking with such friendly staff and cool decor that it couldn't be anything but great.
The taco al pastor was nothing special. The meat was dry and the corn tortilla was soggy. Next up was my side of Mexican rice and tortilla soup. The rice was okay again nothing special and the tortilla soup was probably the worst I've ever had. I know good real Mexican food and this wasn't it. The soup had a consistency of canned tomato soup and instead of putting fresh avocado slices in it they put a glob of guacamole in it with some cream. It was very weird and tasted like Cholula hot sauce. Oh and there wasn't a single tortilla strip in the entire soup. How is it tortilla soup with no tortillas?? I had a couple spoonfuls and decided I just couldn't eat anymore of it. I went home with a tummy ache and I never ever get tummy aches from food.
My husband wasn't impressed with his food either. The only good thing I can think of regarding the food was the crispy tortilla shell of the gringos tacos. That was good but I didn't like their salsa on the taco itself.
Plus they didn't bring any silverware or napkins until we asked for them after all our food got to the table. The runner brought the soup out to me without a spoon. They didn't refill our waters during our dining time there and it was also hard to flag them down to get the check.
I really don't understand how this place has such a high rating. It's mind boggling.
