| - I would have never found this place if I weren't looking for it. We noticed by the clientele that it seems to be frequented mostly by fashionistas of sorts from the world market center. After reading some glowing reviews we went to treat ourselves for an anniversary dinner. Overall, food and atmosphere were both very pleasing, but I wasn't absolutely blown away. Due to the relatively high price (we went for dinner), this isn't going to replace your weekly neighborhood Mexican joint, but definitely worth a visit for special occasions.
We started our meal with the "queso flameado", asadero cheese, goat cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes, and a serrano sauce. YUM! This was delicious, although it was essentially a bowl full of cheese. We had way too much cheese for the few toasts provided, so ended up eating it straight. This dish is probably better suited for a group of 4 than 2. I'd prefer half the amount, and half the price so we could order a second appetizer! I ordered the sangria that was way too sweet for my tastes (I prefer dry wines though, so I'm a bit finicky about sangria). My boyfriend had a well made martini, and for his main course he ordered the "sarape de pollo", which was a simple pounded chicken breast with a limey dressing, black beans, cheese, guac, and pico. He very much enjoyed it, I found it a bit too salty. I ordered a seafood special, that was quite good, with a side of the famous sweet corn tamales. The texture of the "tamales" was devine, but it was a bit too sweet for my tastes for the main meal. I pretended I was eating desert with my meal and was happy.
For what it is, the price is appropriate and the food is relatively creative. I would definitely return for a nice dinner or give the lunch specials a try (if it weren't so far away from my office), and I recommend others check it out, it's unlike any other I've found in Vegas.
