This was a disaster from the start. My date and I met in front of the entrance to the restaurant. A customer walked out front to smoke and one of the owners/partners/managers comes out and yells at him "This isn't Tijuana." "You can't smoke and drink out here." He was holding a cigarette the entire time.
The restaurant itself doesn't set the atmosphere of a Mexican restaurant or anything remotely related to pinup culture either. The design is trying to be more like a nightclub or ultra lounge. It's a mishmash of chaos with no discernible direction. The bar is nice, but our table seemed to be the wrong shape for the booth, and you could still see uncovered electrical outlets in the wall. Not impressed at all.
There were 12 people standing behind the bar and no one was really doing anything. It almost seemed intimidating ordering at the bar. Our server was very friendly and next to the OK food was the only thing that kept this from being a 1-star review.
Our order was handled incorrectly (kitchens fault) and the busser seemed a bit over zealous to clear our plates. They were still half covered with food. The food itself was again decent, but nothing remarkable. The margarita's were good.
The holographic dancer/mariachi/dj display is strange and seems completely out of place. Then again, it might just fit right in amongst the disaster that is Lolita's Cantina.
