Finally after a couple of attempts we were able to go to this relatively new place in our neighborhood. This place has a really nice atmosphere complete with a large bar, lounge area and even a table with a fire pit, which actually seems a bit misplaced in the back corner outdoors directly across from the Barnes and Noble entrance.
We arrived with a 45 minute wait so sat in the lounge area. We ordered drinks within about 5 minutes but did not receive them until we got to our table about 20-25 minutes later. I understand he wait but to me 20-25 minutes on a beer and sangria is a little long.
Finally the food. We ordered. I had the pizole which was flavorful but bland all at once. It certainly needs more spice/peppers . My wife had the 3 taco dinner with cod, chicken and brisket. These were all excellent. The lack of sides is a little odd so no rice, refried or black beans.
This was a fairly small sample but enough to let us know it meets the mark in terms of nice atmosphere but not so much in terms of the food. Tacos were solid but nothing to write home about and the pizole was very low spice level. At many Mexican and Mexican themed restaurants they bring sides such as dried peppers, radish, cabbage, lime... none of that here.
I wish I could give 2.5 stars but since I cannot I will round up.
