| - I think this place is too much hype and not enough flavor. Just making something spicy does not make it good.
We went here after hearing about the place constantly on Cleveland news. My mom and I ordered virgin margaritas which tasted like citrusy Hawaiian punch. J got the margarita and my dad got a Dos Equis. We then decided to get the salsa trio and the guac trio - smoked trout, crab and original and were told that we would have to wait cause they make the chips to order. If that means getting some doritos from the beer store across the street, washing them and heating them in a toaster oven, I would believe that they are made to order. However, when I hear "made to order", I assume you are baking or frying the chips fresh and they should be awesome. These weren't. The salsa trio had pico, salsa verde and pineapple-jicama. The pineapple would have been the stand out, but I didn't like the mint. I feel it threw the whole flavor combo. The verde was good and the pico was just too much cilantro. The plain guac was just that - plain. I make better at my house. The crab and corn was interesting, but had not enough corn nor crab. I didn't taste the smoked trout, but I think that was the same - not enough trout.
For our dinners, my dad had the bistec taquitos which are basically steak fajitas everywhere else. The steak was amazing - perfectly cooked and seasoned. My mom and I both ordered the mahi mahi taquitos. They were way too spicy without any flavor. The tortillas were horrible - mealey and bland. J ordered the scallops with cauliflower hominy and creamed corn. The scallops were amazing - perfectly seared and fresh. The corn was to me just spicy. The cauliflower hominy was a vision - crunchy on the outside, gooey deliciousness inside. At first we thought it might have crab in it, it was so awesome.
As we were celebrating, we ordered the chocolate mousse and the jalepeno bread pudding. I thought both were amazing. Like amazing. The mousse was cinnamony and topped with just the right amount of whipping cream and nuts. The bread pudding was divine - spicy enough to know that you were eating jalepenos, but sweet enough to balance. It was amazing. It also came with a sparkler which fell over and burned the wooden plate that it came out on. Tip: Don't put fire on wood.
All in all, I would say come for the desserts and leave happy. Expect the hype and be disappointed.
