  • Lopez's menu begins with an interesting claim to fame. Apparently, when they were opening, they were helped out by Rick Bayless. I loved Bayless' Topolobampo, his upscale place in Chicago, so I was looking forward to my meal here: Food: Started with the blue cheese and sage guacamole to accompany the obligatory chips and (rather bland) salsa. The blue cheese really went well with the Guacamole, but overall it was too small to justify an $8 price. Also, at that point you'd think I'd get a bit more chips then the small bags of them, or at that price, god forbid, some of their flour chips (but no, those would be $5 extra). I guess they refill the tortilla chips every so often, but it just made the whole appetizer feel like a ripoff. Went with the pulled pork burrito for my entree. This was alright, with pulled pork and onions on the inside and some black beans on top. Unfortunately, they decided to drown the burrito in this tomatillo sauce. It was fine, but if I wanted a completely covered burrito, I would have ordered an enchilada, and I didn't, so this was another annoyance. Perhaps I'm being overly picky here, but if they were going to go for the "whole dish" vibe here by adding the sauce, the flavor should have been knockout and it wasn't. Now, just to clarify. I know that both of these could have been avoided by ordering something that might have been more to my liking. They weren't my first choice; we wanted to go with the tamale for an appetizer and I had picked out the Ahi Tacos for an entree, but they were out of both (as well as something else I'm forgetting). Just seemed sloppy. Drinks: Had a Mojito, it was nice and minty, although the ice should have been a bit more crushed. They have Dos Equis on tap, so that's a plus. Service: As a few of the other reviewers have said, they do seem to have a more attractive staff, so it was a very pleasant dinner on the eyes. Our particular waitress was very friendly, although she did recommend one of the dishes that they didn't have, so that was a bit ditzy. Overall, though, her demeanor was great and it's definitely possible to say she was the highlight of the meal. I'd go back, and would be eager to try a few other things, but they could learn a few things from Topolo / Bayless and focus on the small stuff, it definitely kept our meal from being a four star experience
