| - This was my second time here (previously for dinner and this time for lunch) - and I have to say this place wasn't that impressive, especially for the prices. If you're already in Tivoli Village maybe give it a go, but if you're in the car deciding-just go somewhere else.
This time around we ordered the tacos barbacoa ($11) and the beef enchiladas ($10) off of the lunch menu. Both were served with rice. The tacos were served with black beans and the enchiladas with pinto (we weren't offered a choice when ordering-so I want to point that out).
The tacos were two street tacos. The flavor was okay, but not spectacular. For the price I expected more. More flavor. Bigger tacos. A third taco. More something. The rice was undercooked. Im not a huge fan of black beans, so I wish the waiter would've asked or the menu indicated what type of beans each item is served with. In the end, I felt a bit rooked on lunch. Oh well.
I tried some of my husband's beef enchiladas (2) as well, served with pintos and rice. The beef was ground beef with a mixture of potato. I would expect a restaurant of this type to be above serving ground beef - something we can all easily make at home. Additionally, they were served with a con carne type of sauce, not enchilada sauce. The flavor was good. But again, the food underplayed for the price.
We also ordered the house margarita and the strawberry margarita ($11 each). Both were very good and the saving grace for lunch. They offer these at a discount for happy hour, which might be worthwhile if in the neighborhood.
In the end, I felt the menu prices, which are more expensive at dinner, reflected a high overhead rent for being in Tivoli Village and were not reflective of the food quality.
