| - This restaurant has an interesting set up. When you walk in, you walk down a short ramp that is essentially where the line starts. The line leads to a counter where you order. Once you order, you get a number and choose your seat. It is indoor seating only. After some time, they bring food to your table. An alternative option, you can also sit at the bar and order there. Where and how you order is a bit different than the usual restaurant. It isn't bad aside from the fact that the flow of the restaurant is horrible. It's dark and does not flow well, particularly the line where you order is essentially at the entrance of the restaurant. If it's your first time there and you're not sure what's going on, an employee will have to explain it to you. The employees are friendly enough and get the job done, but they did very minimal work and weren't very professional. The restaurant itself was dirty. There were crumbs and trash every. Few of the empty tables weren't wiped down. We sat at the bar and same thing with the bar. Random crumbs everywhere/our counter space and surrounding counter space had residual from previous patrons.
As for the food, the only thing I liked was the carne asada meat and the house margarita. The margarita was on the stronger side so that's always a bonus. The carne asada tasted very good. I got it in a taco which is served on two corn tortillas. The taco does cost over $3 for a single taco and they charge you 30 cents extra for cheese and another 30 for guacamole. It was very overpriced given that the base case of over $3 included only the 2 tortillas and meat. They do have a "salsa bar" where you can get additional toppings, but for that price, I would rather go down the street to another taco place for better tasting tacos. I also ordered a meat "cheese crisp" that was way more like a quesadilla. It was soft and didn't have much cheese in it. I had chicken in my cheese crisp and the chicken tasted like curry chicken. I usually like curry chicken....only if I'm ordering curry chicken. They advertised it as a "marinated chicken." Needless to say, I was not very satisfied with the taste.
They do have happy hour but as far as I could tell, it was only Tuesday - Friday. I didn't see any deals for "Taco Tuesday" or anything of that nature. I'm not sure if the bar is a full bar. I would come back to this place for another trial, but there would have to me many improvements and it would likely be months or another year down the road.
