Actual rating 2.5.
This place is in my hood. I really like tacos, so I was hyped. Despite the poor reviews, my good friend/fellow foodie and I decided to try it ourselves. Both of us hoped to be pleasantly surprised - you know, let the underdog win. Alas, it was not so.
The atmosphere is dreary. No attention has been paid to creating any sense of ambiance. Honestly, it looks like a hodge-podge of left-overs from the previous restaurants that inhabited this space. I suppose because of that it has a sense of being transient. just thrown together with little thought.
Still, I can forgive weak decor if the food is stellar. Unfortunately, nothing we tried was even remotely interesting. We started with the chips and guacamole; the chips were decent but the serving size and complexity of the guacamole was pretty lame. We shared the catfish enchiladas and the pulled chicken soft tacos. Both were very boring. The rice and beans that accompanied were abysmal. The yellow "mole" was so lackluster I didn't even register what it was until my friend pointed it out.
And the service? Forget it. Bottom line, I will not return. I would never recommend this place to anyone as it stands.
