We went here yesterday mid-afternoon, so it wasn't very busy, and opted to sit on the patio since it was nice out. While we were the only people sitting outside, we were in clear view of the main restaurant and kitchen entry, so I figured we'd still get good service... but I was wrong. The servers were nice but weren't very familiar with the menu and our original server went MIA for about 10 minutes after taking our drink order, and then other servers had to take care of us when we explained that she'd disappeared. ????
Here's what the food was like:
-Chips, salsa, bean dip: pretty good, especially the bean dip
-Queso appetizer: cheesy manchego baked with chorizo, which was decent but overpriced at $9 for a small amount of cheesy dip
-Street tacos: tasty but nothing compared to the ones at Agave. I also got a side of pico de gallo, which I later discovered they charged us $1 for (really? you're going to charge someone for 2 tablespoons of chopped tomatoes?)
-Carne Asada Burrito: huge, but not as good as Chipotle. it also came smothered in the red sauce my boyfriend requested to have on the side ($13).
-Filled Churros with Dipping Sauces: mini churros, some filled with strawberry filling and some with a "mystery filling" of sorts, served with dulce de leche and raspberry dipping sauces. These were yummy, but again, overpriced at $8 for a tiny portion of churros (equally delicious is the monster churro at the Costco food court...and it's $1).
Also, the restaurant interior totally lacks ambiance -- I know it's a club atmosphere at night with lots of lights, but in the daytime, the space lacks interest and character.
Overall I wouldn't go back here... the food was tasty but overpriced, and there was nothing special about this place, though it has the potential to improve. If you want good Mexican food, go to Agave in Summerlin instead :)
