Atmosphere was very loud. Communal seating means you will be sitting with strangers. The food wasn't bad, but was waaaay overpriced and too salty. This is basically mexican street fare, things like tamales. How can you charge $15 for a tamale? The service was also subpar. The waiter was not very attentive and appeared annoyed at some of our questions. He did not check on us or refill our drinks. There are MANY BETTER SIMILAR RESAURANTS IN LAKEWOOD! Taco Tonto's, Barrio, Barroco, El Tango, all within 5 min of this place! Save your money and go to one of those. This place is way to TRENDY AND OVERPRICED. There is no reason to go here when you can go to a great place like El Tango and get a better meal in a less pretentious atmosphere at half the price!
