| - My cousin, another friend of ours and I all dined at this fun Mexican restaurant last week on Good Friday for the first time. It had great details in its patio design, Mexican street art in its alleyway entrance, details inside like the wall decor, bar display and lighting.
Service was also good. It may have helped that the restaurant was only about half full when we came here for lunch - didn't mind that at all since we had a bit of a hard time hearing each other over the music as it was. I've heard it gets busy at night here though and it was the long weekend as well.
We liked several of their menu options but ended up getting the fresh guacamole and chips to share as a starter, along with our own trio of tacos each. The guacamole was served in a cute mortar and pestle set and made in front of us. It tasted fresh, filling and it was a great portion for 3 hungry women.
Next, my trio of tacos came shortly after. I got the fish taco, calamari and veggies - they had fancier names for these on the menu but I don't remember it at the moment. They were each stuffed with fresh veggies and creamy sauces in a soft tortilla shell. The portions were larger than expected for the price and as much as I love fresh corn tortillas, the soft flour tortillas held all the parts of the taco better. For me, the combination of veggies and sauces were the best part of the tacos. I didn't taste much of any seasoning on the fish and calamari when I tried pieces of them without the sauce and veggies. This was the one downside here.
I would still recommend this place though for the experience and overall, the food was decent. Next time, I'd want to try some of their other food options, drinks and desserts (didn't have room).
