| - After reading the reviews, I was worried I would not be full after eating here. I mean, let's be honest, I eat at an alarming rate. I was hoping Jose Andres wouldn't let me down.
I think we were fortunate price-wise and portion-wise; as we came away full and with a relatively inexpensive tab. Maybe it's because I wanted to save my drinks for the great bartenders at Chandelier, or because we weren't that full to begin with. Nonetheless, we spent less than what we were prepared to spend, which is always good.
This place is not a Chinese/Mexican fusion. It's primarily a menu with Chinese items and Mexican items. The pozole soup was great and had an excellent spice. The tacos were freshly prepared, I'd recommend the al pastor or the pork belly. The Chinese menu was somewhat lacking, as if the items were forced on the menu without any great execution of the dishes to fit the theme.
It was pretty rowdy inside, but maybe because I was sitting next to a bachelorette party. I get the feeling it's like that normally. All in all, it was a nice experience, but I think I will stick to ordering from the to-go window.
