| - I visited this business twice and had two different meals.
Initially, I had hear great things about the tacos. The tortillas, however, are not made fresh. They are prepackaged and reheated. I can get that in a grocery store or Chipotle, so instead of tacos, the first meal I had was a mango salad. It actually tasted excellent, however a large number of the mangos in the salad still had the inedible mango skin on, which seemed to me to be a careless mistake. The dressing had great flavor and wasn't too heavy. At $9 without tax or tip, this was a fairly expensive salad. The portion was also small and I so I left feeling hungry.
The second meal I had was their hearty beef soup. The flavors of the soup were initially excellent. However, as I dug into the bowl, I found several beef bones, as well as a number of pieces of charred/blackened/burned meat. There was literally a large piece that was probably about a square inch with a 1/4" thick burned crust on it. It just seemed like careless cooking. At $11 for a bowl that was relatively small, I again was hungry after eating. The waiter seemed particularly enthusiastic about the beans, and I was still hungry, so I ordered a side. $2.25 seemed like a high price to pay for a side of beans and it certainly was given how small the side was. The beans tasted very standard and unoriginal.
The service I received during both of my meals (from the same tall, lanky waiter) was abysmal. The restaurant was empty, but the service was slow. I had to actually ask him for a menu at one of the meals and had to ask to receive water at both meals. I also found myself having to ask multiple times to receive a water refill. When my waiter was not at the table, I could hear him loudly conversing with a female cook in back. They talked about a number of inappropriate things and also argued over which music should be played. This led to a very eclectic mix of music, including songs that were cut off midway through. The volume was extremely loud and would occasionally be turned up louder for portions of the song that the staff were apparently particularly fond of.
Overall, there are some fun flavors going on at this restaurant, but high prices, small portions, careless cooking/preparation, and an incompetent wait staff really ruined it for me. I live in the neighborhood and there are too many great restaurants that are just steps away to waste your time and money on this one.
