TL;DR: the food was good but nothing special. Wife (Mexican-American) and I were confused why so many people were calling it 'authentic' - take it from my wife, this place was nowhere near authentic. Even judging by the low bar we set for Cleveland, this place didn't come close. They tried to pull a fast one on us for dessert and it really soured the entire experiance.
I'd heard such great things about this place that my wife and I were excited to finally try it out a while back. We decided to go in for an early dinner around 5:30 on a weekend. When we arrived, we were impressed with the menu. They had nectar!! I was thrilled to finally have guava nectar at a restaurant. Now if only they had horchata.
The food was ok, good but nothing to write home about, until we got to dessert. My wife got sopapilla, which is her standard go to dessert. It was okay - what I've come to call "sopapilla". Most sopapilla in the area looks like cinnamon sugar tortilla chips, while sopapilla is normally made to be puffy (and normally is square/rectangular though not always) so the center is light and airy. I can live with that, as it's par for the course in the area.
But my fried ice cream ... Was not fried ice cream. It was a scoop of plain vanilla surrounded by four "sopapilla" on the plate. It was essentially sopapilla a la mode. When I clarified with the server if thia was the fried ice cream, she confirmed. I was pretty stunned. I've had the dish everywhere from LA to Chicago to DC to Cleveland. I knew it wasn't fried ice cream and have no idea if this is what they pass off as fried ice cream or if the person working couldn't make it (in which case, please just tell the customer. There's no need to serve me something I don't want and insult my intelligence).
I'd recommend if you want a quick dinner or lunch cheap and arent looking for anything super authentic. I wouldn't recommend for service nor for dessert.
