| - We came in for a friend's birthday and we were seated promptly ( we had reservations ). I've hear a lot about this place so I was eager to try it.
Our waiter was really nice and patient. We had a rather large party and two people were running late. Not once did our waiter loose patience with us. He was very up beat and nice even when asked to take a photo of a group of 8 girls while he was busy. He kindly took our pictures and had fun with it.
The ambience is very trendy, very fun. It was a type of rustic hipster, if you will. It's byob, but there is a 6 pack store right next door.
Unfortunately, to me, the food was just okay. I got the ribs taco, which was good, but nothing really special, just rib meat, onions, and cilantro in a soft taco shell. I also got the chicken apple taco. It was supposed to have apple, bacon, cheese,and a jalapeño mayo in it. I'm a huge fan of sweet and savory / sweet and spivey, but the spiciness overpowered the whole taco. (I can tolerate a pretty high level of spiciness but this was a little much) I could only taste chicken and mayo. The apple coleslaw was good, but again, not mind blowing, just a regular vinegar based coleslaw with apple in it. I did try my friend's chorizo macaroni and cheese; THAT, was fantastic. I would say best thing on the menu. The chorizo was well done, great flavor and paired with that Mac n cheese...absolutely phenomenal.
I read in a few reviews and was told the service was slow. I actually feel like for a small, locally ran restaurant they were fairly decent. Yes, it took a little longer than your average chain, but they have a very small kitchen, try to give you a higher end experience with their food, and have take out orders. Therefore, I think the service was fine and nothing out of the ordinary.
As far as pricing goes, it's a little on the higher end for what you get. I don't mind paying more for a great food experience; however, I definitely didn't think my chicken taco was worth what I paid for it (6.00). The chorizo Mac n cheese was worth what we paid though. Although, I do understand given the neighborhood they are housed in.
It was my first visit there so I'm definitely not opposed to going again and trying something else. Perhaps, it may even sway my yelp rating for this restaurant. I really enjoy the vibe. It seems like a good spot to hang out and get some small bites throughout the night.
Definitely worth a try.
