| - I have been to this restaurant several times and have never had a bad experience. The first time I went, I got the tinga taquito, which is chicken. It was good, but I didn't think it was absolutely something to rave about. My boyfriend let me try his dish, the machaca, and I almost died when I ate it--it was that good. The flavors just pop out and I love it so much so I always get it every time I go there, even though my boyfriend tells me to try something new.
If you are going to be ordering taquitos, I would only go during happy hour (5-6:30 weekdays only), especially if you look at the menu ahead of time and know that's what you will be getting. Taquitos are half off, and classic margartias (no other flavors) are half off also (regular price is $8). Otherwise, I really believe it is too expensive. Happy hour is for the first floor only, and if you want a table you HAVE TO MAKE A RESERVATION **WAY** IN ADVANCE. If you want to go on a Friday night and call them the Tuesday before, it's not gonna happen. Keep in mind the restaurant is closed on Mondays. It doesn't open until 5 Tuesday-Saturday, and they open at 4 on Sundays.
If you don't make a reservation, you can try to get a seat at the bar, but you literally have to be there 15-20 minutes before they open and wait outside to get a seat. It's so hard to get a reservation because the place is small, plus reservations are made based on a two hour dining experience. You can't make a reservation for more than 6, at least for the first floor.
The have a margarita sampler, where you get 3 half glasses of margartias, so you can try a couple flavors. The sampler runs you $15. The cucumber margartia is very, very refreshing. I also like the blood orange one, and the spicy mango isn't bad. The last time I went, I got a red bell pepper margarita, and it really did taste like one, but I don't like to drink peppers so I didn't care for it, plus it was a little spicy.
The only thing I would say I don't really care for is that you are charged for items such as chips, but it's only $2 for the basket--if that makes or breaks you, I don't think you will care much for the restaurant. I typically get the pico with the chips for an appetizer, which is usually good--the last time I went, it didn't have as much flavor as it usually does. My boyfriend loves their guac, but I always stop him from getting it as an appetizer because the machaca that I always get comes with it, and it won't all get eaten. I would only get it if we are there with a big group and everyone will be eating it.
Lastly, the service---everytime I go there and sit at the bar, it's the same guy with thick framed glasses, and he is very good. He's nice and extrememly knowledgeable about the food and drinks. It seems that all the males here are very nice, I don't care for any of the female hostesses/servers--their customer service is so-so, and they don't really do anything to go above and beyond, even when it comes to saying nice, simple "hello" when you walk in.
The owner also did all the artwork on the walls---so awesome!
I recommend this place to EVERYONE who is from out of town and is looking for something completely new and unique. Definitely not your traditional mexican restaurant!!!
