30 years ago when my parents took me to the original Lopez y Gonzalez I thought that mexican food was the greatest thing ever invented. In fact the original impact has continued to set the standard for all mexican restaurants ever since.
I say all that to explain that it's a sad day when you cannot live up to you're own standards and I'm afraid that Lopez does not. In my opinion mexican food should be both rustic and flavorful. Lopez has decided to take a cuisine with humble beginnings and tried elevated to the level of fine dining, losing all the elements that makes mexican food special.
If you are looking for a tasty fusion restaurant with mexican roots then Lopez is a nice choice.
