| - I would give 3.5 if that was possible in Yelp. Being intimately familiar with Mexican food, usually my standards for this type of cuisine are really high. Our experience can be summarized as the good, the bad and the ugly.
The good: Appies and entrees. Excellent quality of ingredients, taste was also great and authentic. Luckily, the chef does not shy away from hot chilies! We tried the chilaquiles, cactus, tamales, and tacos (mushroom and bean - their only vegetarian options). Delicious.
The bad: Dessert. The selection is very small (a donut, a tres leches cake and a chocolate flan). We had the tres leches cake, which is an authentic Mexican type of dessert. However, the execution was really bad - the cake tasted more like a heavy coconut pound cake. Flavour was not even remotely related to authentic tres leches cake.
The ugly: The "no reservation system". In fact, they do use the "no wait" app, and plenty of people seem to know that. Yet, they deny this fact at the very door of the restaurant, even when the hostess is constantly monitoring the wait list through the "no wait" app and calling users (who were not standing anywhere around the restaurant) to inform their table is ready. We waited over 45 minutes for a table for 2. Groups of over 4 people not using the app were being told that the wait was going to be over 2 hours.
Ambiance is noisy and crowded. Tables are too close to each other. I guess next time we will try the take-out window only.
