| - Went in with high hopes and left feeling underwhelmed. My hubby and I waited about 2 months to get a Friday night reservation here. Upon arriving, we were kind of turned off by the atmosphere- there's a DJ playing mind-numbingly loud house music and it's so dark we could barely see our menus. All that aside, we are obsessed with Mexican food and couldn't wait to try this place out.
Our waiter suggested crab guacamole, which sounded awesome, but was $16? And after seeing the small serving size at a table next to us, w opted for the traditional gauc ($11). It was good, not great. We wanted to try a few different tacos but were disappointed to find you can't mix and match, so we just went for it and ordered the octopus, Baja, and mushroom to share. The waiter told my hubby to eat the octopus first because it has the shortest "shelf life"... okay, no problem.
Within a few minutes, the fish and mushroom taco boards arrived at our table.. the octopus took another 4-5 minutes or so... kinda hard to eat those ones first! Also- we still hadn't received our drink orders by the time the food arrived. My husband loved the octopus, but the other tacos were just OKAY for both of us. Certainly not the best fish tacos I've had. The mushroom were okay.. Im just not crazy about the type of mushrooms used- they are huge and meaty (which some people might enjoy) but Im just not a fan of the texture. All in all, the experience was average, or slightly below for an $80 bill. 6 tacos, guacamole and 2 drinks... I'm glad we tried it, but I don't see what all the hype is all about.
Bakersfield continues to be our absolute favorite for Mexican fusion in the Pgh area.
