So I finally got a chance to try out La Carnita and it lived up to the hype that it receives. All those posted IG pics and rave reviews from friends really got me excited to try this place out.
First Impression: I really got a hipster vibe from this place and it was dark, cramped, loud music and people with good fashion sense. I enjoyed the setup as they had a bar right at the front so you could get a drink while you waited
Food Impressions:
1. Sweet Corn with Spicy Sauce - great starter but was ΒΌ burnt. Sauce was spicy
2. Tortilla Chips with Gucamole - chips were good with pepper and lime dressing, gucamole was meh
3. In Cod We trust - Really good size code, overall delicious
4. Beef Cheek - thought it would be better, tasted kind of bland
5. Carnita - My favorite of them all, great flavor overall and has a nice aftertaste.
6. Popsicles - They were all great!
Service Impression: We had 4 people missing from our party and they still gave us the biggest table in the restaurant. They brought over the wrong drink and we were told to just keep it, same thing with one of our taco orders. They brought over a dessert and a candle melted to a wooden board (crafty and creative) for our friend's bday.
Overall Impression: You cannot go to a Mexican place and not get tequila which we did and I believe my experience at La Carnita was great but I don't remember one tequila too many but I will say this, La Carnita not bad *insert impressed meme*
