| - Um . . . OK, we gave this place a shot, but were far less than impressed.
I think they tried to be "authentic," and actually had a few items which could be picked up in "authentic" Mexico (sopes, tacos, which were what we ordered), but the taste and the quality were not something which would prompt us to eat there again.
Location is . . . unimposing? That's one way of putting it. Another way is it is a bit scary. Yes, you can order in Spanish. That doesn't, however, make it a 5-star joint. Not all that well-maintained . . . much like the surrounding neighborhood. We came on a Sunday when there was hardly anyone there . . . and we were more than a little nervous parking our car and walking in.
I don't have anything really bad to say about the food . . . I will applaud their effort. I can safely say, however, that the taste was not of the "died and gone to heaven" variety attributed to them by so many of the 5-star reviews they have been awarded.
I would say give them a shot . . . not bad, but not great. They have menu items other than the regular "burrito / chimichanga" fare that so many folks think constitutes "real" Mexican cuisine, but not, in my opinion, meriting a special trip.
