| - One of my girlfriends was celebrating her birthday and wanted tacos.
I went to my trusty Yelp app and gave her a few options, of which she selected Tapacubo. I was super excited to try it out because I have driven by the Graduate many times and it looks really interesting on the outside and never knew a cute hipster taco place was part of the complex.
We weren't sure about seating, so birthday girl set a reservation for our group. Surprisingly it was dead there during dinner time(!!) and we didn't really need it. Nice touch anyway to partition part of the place for us, give her prickly pear sorbet, and play a Happy Birthday song from Spotify.
It took maybe 20 minutes for all of us to arrive, and by that point I think the waiter/bartender had swung by once? to greet us and offer water. That kind of set the mood for the service, unfortunately. She was nice, but the service was just sucky. Rarely came by to check on us, had to request a few times just to get water refills, and it took forever for her to get her attention to come by and take our drink + dinner order. One friend ordered chips + salsa and it appears the gal just plain forgot about bringing those out.
Everyone but myself ordered tacos, I just wasn't feeling it. They looked good and everyone liked them, but the consensus was there should be another option besides corn tortillas. Especially for fajitas! The fries are great though [crazy for a taco stand place]. My butter lettuce salad was good, just overpriced. I paid $12 for it, +$3 adding chicken. It was worth in total probably $10, and it was difficult to eat on the plate... how about a bowl for salads?I also ordered the Desert Blues drink and it was good, but nothing too memorable about it.
