| - We came here on a Tuesday (July 19th) for early lunch. I was pleasantly surprised when we entered by the posh decor. I really liked the feel of the place and I could imagine it having an even cooler vibe at night. We specifically came on Tuesday for the taco specials. I waited for our server to let us know the Taco Tuesday specials and when she didn't (just asked for our drink order) I asked about the specials that were available and our server quoted us an incorrect price. When I questioned her about it, she said she wasn't sure, but she would check. Upon her lengthy return, she did correct herself, but still never mentioned any drink specials. (Later I found out they did have a special on margaritas, had I known this, I would have ordered 2 - her loss) The chips and trio of salsa that were served free were pretty good. The red one is my favorite. The green one (tomatillo) was nothing special, even borderline flavorless. The pink one was way too spicy. You couldn't taste anything but the heat, which is not enjoyable to me. The tacos we ordered were smaller than I expected especially at $3.50, but they were filled with lots of meat. I ordered two carne asada and one cochinita. I liked them both, but thought the cochinita was better as the flavor was fantastic. Although we were pretty full, we did take advantage of the free flan with the Yelp check in. Both of us are not huge fans of flan, but figured we didn't have anything to lose. We are so happy we got the chance to try it, because it was the best flan we have ever had! Chef Paco delivered it directly to our table himself. A nice touch. I think we would have had a much better experience had the service not been so lacking. We had to beg for refills and that was when we could find her. I don't know exactly what the issue was, because we were one of the only tables for the first half of our meal. There was a large party going on in the back room and I don't know if she was more concerned with them or what. We will definitely visit again when we are in town since there were many things I would like to try on the menu. I just hope the service is much better.
