| - Oh Orale...How I love your dinner menu and wish your lunch menu was just as sumptuous. I went in so pumped to share this restaurant with my hubby, but made the mistake of arriving before 4pm, during lunch hours. The menus are completely different. I'll be back, but it will be after 16:00 my friend. I would have given this a strong 4 stars before my lunch experience, and am afraid I have to drop it down to a 3 now :(
Key takeaways:
Salsas - An abundance of options with something for every palate and they're all very inventive and flavorful. Something to satiate the taste buds of even the spiciest of spice lovers. They've brought over 4 or 5 options to us before, so don't be shy about asking for something different if you're in the mood to try something new.
BYOB - How can you miss with this option? Two options for beer within walking distance are Dave's Market and Great Lakes Brewing Company. They'll keep your beverages cool in the fridge for ya and bottle openers are provided
Menu - FYI - small menu selection, so if you're a picky eater, you may want to check it out in advance. This is not your typical Mexican restaurant and as the name says, a contemporary take on traditional favorites. Beyond that, I must break this section down further as follows:
Dinner Options: Amazing! Battered and deep fried avocado tacos - yes please! Sooooooo yummy. They also have an all vegan menu available on Tuesdays which looks promising
Lunch Options: Less than stellar. The goat cheese quesadilla and mushroom enchiladas sounded so promising, but were both disappointing. The goat cheese was hiding somewhere, and that somewhere was not in our quesadilla. The corn tortillas were the only things you could taste in the enchiladas as there were no other prominent flavors and the filling was a bit sparse.
Ambiance - Very cool vibe with local paintings on the wall and a prime location in Ohio City. I always try to grab the window seat to look out on W 25th and get some free entertainment with our meal.
Service - Excellent service! Staff is knowledgeable about the menu and have always provided great recommendations.
