| - This place epitomizes the very worst of the food industry. It benefits from a good location and nice decor, but things rapidly go downhill from there. A quick glance at the menu items and you immediately know that this is not authentic Mexican but rather a sad attempt at being original and cutting edge but falling miserably short. The drinks were watered down and punchless, the mojito tasted like rancid dishwasher. I mean, come on: "sparkling wine" in a mojito? How about fresh mint muddled with premium limes and topped with good quality syrup and soda instead? Barbacoa broth and soggy, deep fried pork rinds (sadly called chicharrones) in a michelada? Who comes up with this stuff? So we tried draft beer. Can't go wrong with that right? Wrong! Negra Modelo was flat and smelled of dish soap. The keg was either way old, the lines dirty, or the CO2 pressure needed some tinkering. Food wasn't much better. Fish tacos were dry and tasteless. Al Pastor was way over salted and greasy. Tortillas were rubbery and cold. Tortilla chips were thick and tasted greasy, almost waxy - probably due to being fried in the lowest quality, lowest cost fats. Frijoles charros were so salty I felt my blood pressure rising with every bite. Overall, the food simply did not taste fresh and vibrant. It had that cut-rate, cooked in the cheapest vegetable oil by poorly trained, uninspired staff kind of feel and texture. I wish I could say something positive but this kind of slop should not be allowed in the food scene in Vegas. Charging people good money for this is borderline criminal. We have way too many outstanding food options in this town to tolerate this kind of stuff.
