| - Oh, where to start...
Let's start with the food. Ordered the jalapeno appetizer, Mexican Roll, Mohica (Momila??) Roll, and chicken tenders with fries (for the kiddo in our dinner party).
The jalapeño app was muy delicioso and not at all what I was expecting! They were jalapeños sliced in half lengthwise, lightly and crispily breaded and stuffed with crab among other things. The jalapenos were super fresh -- they appeared to be uncooked despite being breaded, which gave them a surprisingly good crunch!
The Mexican roll was my favorite roll -- it looked like your traditional sushi roll but with a latin interpretation. It came with a dipping sauce that was difficult to figure out exactly what was in it... but I found myself soaking my roll in it! And their special spicy sauce is outstanding.
The kitchen... was about as slow as they come. After maybe 30 minutes, the chicken tenders came out. It took another 25 minutes or so before the jalapeño app came out... and maybe 15 more minutes before the Mexican roll arrived. And then maybe another 15 minutes before the Molica (Mimolca??) roll was delivered. I am glad the children's dish came out first, but I would think both dinner dishes would have been served at the same time. And seriously, it was a LONG wait time for food preparation.
The service was pretty friendly, but it took at least ten minutes before our server initially stopped by our table. Granted, it was a super busy night... but there were a handful of times when I looked for a server but was left sitting there for five or ten minutes trying to catch her attention to ask for this or that.
The ambiance and setting... like other reviews state, this place looks like more of a dance club with the lights on... so maybe trying to dim the lights wouldn't be a bad idea. And the dark tint on the front glass is just tacky. Maybe this is one of those places that turns into a club afterhours... so if that's the case, then maybe they could just pull off the tint by the front door so you it seems more inviting and open from the outside? Not sure why the tint bothers me so much, but it does...
Next time I'd probably order carryout.
