| - Not bad; we'll probably put it in the rotation of places to eat, but it really doesn't stand out.
-Food was good. I had three standard tacos with a side of pinto beans and was happy with everything. High quality marinated chicken, and an avocado slice on top was a great addition.
-Service: um, ok. Our waitress was friendly, but service was somewhat slow. Took 5-10 minutes for our waitress to show up after we were seated, 5 minutes for our drinks to come out, then another 5-10 for her to return to take our food order. We stopped in for lunch on our day off, but if I had to return to work within an hour I would have been getting nervous...
-Value: No major issues. We averaged about $17 per person. We missed Taco Tuesday by an hour :( (it starts at 2pm). Seriously though, a Mexican restaurant charging $2 for seconds on chips?? That takes some brass ones. Not cool.
-Atmosphere: I really like the 50s/60s decorations. It fits the neighborhood and the building well. The patio surrounds three sides of the restaurant and looks like it would be beautiful after the sun goes down, but there's not a lot of shade out there, so avoid during the day. The background music was pleasant, but it was way too loud. We had to raise our voices just to converse.
One major positive that you don't really see with these trendy/hipster type of restaurants is that this place is good for both kids and adults. A lot of the newer restaurants in the valley seem to make their restaurant like a nightclub that serves food, but this place the whole family could easily enjoy.
-Parking: The restaurant was about 85% full for lunch and we snagged the last parking spot. I could see this being a problem on a Friday/Saturday night. We were there for a Tuesday lunch.
-Bathroom: The bathrooms are individual one person at a time rooms, so they're probably empty over 50% of the time. In the one I used there was a pyramid of 15 rolls of toilet paper stacked on a cabinet with a lit candle in front of them. You do the math.
