| - I loved the ambiance and decor in this restaurant. Absolutely stunning. They have a massive hand carved piece towards the back, the rest of the walls throughout looked like salt walls, and the shape of the pillars gave it a cathedral feel.
Upon arrival (with a reservation) we waited at least 10 minutes. I didn't like how there was no seated waiting area, you're just standing, in the casino.
The lady who sat us was not friendly, didn't care to engage in any conversation or even give eye contact. Our waiter seemed as if he was sarcastic with us, like he was forcing himself to be nice. There was an incident where he seemed to be agitated that he had to repeat himself.
For drinks we ordered the signature Javier over ice with a salt rim. That was one strong drink! Very delicious.
The chips and salsa was also very delicious. I loved that the salsa had a nice garlic taste with a bit of spice.
For an appetizer we had the shrimp ceviche. It comes on a plate topped with Serrano peppers. It was just okay. It was a little fishier than I expected and the shrimp tasted as if was soaked in salt.
For my main course, we ordered the pollo asado and the Cabo azul. I didn't try the pollo asado so I can't give a review on it, but it came with a side of guac, which was great. Very fresh. My Cabo azul was good. Very unique eating lobster enchiladas, I'd order it again. The shrimp taco had great flavor, the black beans and rice were very authentic also. For dessert we had Pastel De Chocolate. It was very delicious, the cake has a fudge texture. Regular vanilla ice cream inside a churro-like bowl. Overall the expierence was just okay and the food was good, but not stellar.
