The location is fantastic with spectacular views of the city's skyline, and the lakefront. Outdoor seating, and a beautiful modern indoor dining area. Truly lovely.
The wheels fell of when my entree arrived. I had the tamale that comes with a side of rice and choice of pinto or black beans. I chose the pinto beans, and they were flavorless and undercooked. They definitely could have used some more time in the pot. The rice was also on the bland side of boring. It was like the kitchen forgot to use any seasoning. Now in regards to the tamale (you only get one for $11) it was a disaster. The poor thing was covered in some sort of stewed eggplant and onion paste that was bitter and sweet at the same time. I ended up scraping it all off after one bite. The masa and meat (pulled pork) were also keeping with the theme of no flavor. This was perhaps the most embarrassing attempt at a tamale I have ever seen.
Now, it wasn't all terrible. Their queso fundido was spectacular! It had an awesome layer of grilled/toasted cheese. The guacamole was also spot on.
I also tried their house Margarita, and it was nice and refreshing.
I'm giving 3 stars because I want to believe the tamale incident will not carry over to the rest of the menu as the other items ordered were tasty.
I'll be back, and update accordingly!
