| - Great atmosphere, good food, attentive service. I have to say, their soft opening was a success in my book!
Nearly everything I had was well executed and delicious. I will definitely be back for Taco Tuesday!
What I tried:
Cali Guac- It manages to be silky smooth and chunky at the same time. Amazing. I added the plaintain chips for an extra buck. Worth it.
Ceviche- not a huge fan of ceviche, it was ordered by a table fellow. They liked it. So, it might be your thing too
tilapia taco with mango salsa- just what a fish taco should be!
broccoli and artichoke taco- pass on this one. The flavors were not harmonious and the textures didn't work for me
Mahi mahi taco- delicious, the toppings were on point and the fish was nice and fresh.
Chicken tamale- lovely flavorful chicken and the masa tasted good too!
Mango/ strawberry smoothie- a fun aperitif, after I crammed all that food down.
Queso fresco cheesecake- Hatted the broiled top. That texture and flavor were weird. The innards were great. Not super smooth, but I think that was the point because of the queso fresco. Really could have used more strawberry sauce or a caramel sauce (like the dulce de leche served with the churros)
Churros- these were not churros. They looked like churros, but sure didn't taste like a churro. They should be light and crispy on the outside and moist and fluffy on the inside. These were all chew. I'm from the south west, I know a churro when I see one, and this is not one.
Extra thank you to Bel Air, because the food during their soft opening was free. Now that tells me they want to get it right, at any cost. You nailed it!
