| - Came here one night looking for a late night dinner, and was glad to find that they stay open late. At night, the Container Park transforms into an adult playground: 21+ only, and the bars and restaurants stay open. Adults play in the playground -- the tree house, the slide, some games, and the praying mantis comes alive. We came on a Monday, so it was quiet. They don't actually have many tables inside, and it's not really that comfortable sitting inside, but I do like their outdoor seating! It seemed like they were cleaning even though they were still open for another hour, so that was odd...However, they were very accommodating in taking our order and friendly, despite the fact that the person taking our order had to maneuver around someone else mopping.
Food is solid, but not mind-blowingly good. Fun spot to grab a bit, especially at night when the mantis is alive. We got an order of chips and salsa to start and elote (Mexican street corn). I also got a fish and an al pastor taco. OH, and we also got their blood orange margarita. And that's when things started to get fuzzy...The blood orange margarita is super tasty, but also super strong!?
My friend LOVED their salsa and actually went back to ask for more. And came back with a big bowl. I preferred their al pastor taco to the fish. From what I remember, the al pastor was decent, but not really rave-worthy. Something about the fish taco slaw was off...maybe they put too much cabbage or didn't chop up the cabbage finely enough, or was missing crema? The elote was great! I love elote, so I'm not sure how you'd mess it up in my book. I love that they have it here! And it's served on a stick, so you can eat it right off the cob without getting your hands too messy.
