| - Sadly disappointing experience for Sunday brunch and first visit. First, hostess recommends dining at the bar because only 2 food servers available so dining room food service would be slow. No problem, we are fine eating at the bar, meet other people, watch soccer. We order bloody Mary's, which are different but very good. We order chilaquiles and the machaca scramble. Both were bland and lacking in even a mild spicy flavor. The machaca dish was overloaded with potatoes, very poor balance between meat and veggies. The chilaquiles were the worst I've ever had. Something called whipped eggs were scrambled and hidden below the tortillas. The sauce was non existent and when I asked for salsa was asked if I wanted the kitchen to prepare some for me or Cholula. Really, they don't have salsa prepared in the kitchen to just bring out? I just used the bottled salsa, fearing the house made would be no better than our entrees. So, after listening to loud obnoxious music, I asked the bartender, so this is a Mexican restaurant, why aren't you playing Mexican music? He responded this was a Mexican "themed" restaurant and the music is selected by the manager, it changes throughout the day and sometimes they play Mexican type music and even have mariachis. There is a wide range of Latin music available and if you are going to present yourself as a Mexican themed restaurant the food and music ought to support the theme. The space is beautiful and the staff was very efficient and knowledgeable. I hope for the sake of their continued employment management works on the quality of food.
