| - Great place.. if you like spicy foods.
My girlfriend and I took awhile to make it here because we both have low spice tolerances. But we finally decided on a Friday evening to check it out. When we got there at 8 pm, we were told that there was a two hour wait for a table. Okay, we'll make a reservation for Saturday. Nope, no more reservations left for Saturday. Wow...
Anyway, we came back next week reservation in hand. The upstairs dining room is a lot quieter and more relaxed than the downstairs bar.
The smoked trout guacamole was good. Nice and creamy, and we definitely got flavors of both the smoked trout and the bacon. Also, the smoked gouda tamale dumplings were very good - tasted like gnocchi.
However, we wanted to order some taquitos too. The pescado taquito (mahi mahi) - the server said, and I quote, "oh no, that's not spicy at all!" The fish was too spicy for my girlfriend but I could stomach it only if I added a bunch of mild pineapple salsa. The pescado pibil (pork) - the server said something along the lines of "oh, if you're afraid of the spice, really, it just adds a little bit of tanginess. And if it's really too spicy I can give you some sour cream to dilute it out." I ended up eating about a third of it because it was way too spicy for both my girlfriend and me. And seriously, who is going to dilute out the spiciness with sour cream?
