| - This review is going to be tough to write, roseangel.
First of all, I think you're trying to be something you're not. Upscale, mod-mex? Is that what you're trying to accomplish? If so, you lose. Momocho you are not. (It's probably assholey of me to compare the two of you -- but whatev.)
Second. Your prices on most items are far too high for what you're presenting. Fish tacos. Two of them. With bland, sludgy beans and kinda blah rice. $14. To be frank, that's BS. That price wouldn't bother me had your food not looked and/or tasted like typical Americanized Mexican slop. A few dollars less would be more appropriate. I won't go so far as to say everything was bad or poorly priced. The chips/salsa were enjoyable as was the cactus salad. My margarita was pretty darn good too.
Third. I did enjoy the ambiance. It was slightly romantic, the lighting was soothing, really cool polka-dot tables, deep red walls -- only sucky thing was the wallpaper was peeling off in certain spots. Yes. I noticed. I'm a freak.
Fourth. Your staff was wonderful. Our server was sweet and attentive. Perhaps a tiny bit TOO attentive? Maybe she's been reading your reviews and feels she needs to compensate for something. I won't fault her on that.
Fifth. Gosh, roseangel. I really hope you can get your act together and do a little bit better. You're in a great neighborhood. You have a really cool space. You could be so much more than this. Seems like wasted potential.
