| - I was so excited to try this place. Left beyond utterly disappointed. Walked in to a pretty, but completely deserted, restaurant. Not only were there no customers, there was no staff to be seen. We Waited, waited, then giving each-other the "this is creepy" look, started the final countdown and heel-turn towards the door and freedom when someone finally appeared. (Darn... We almost made it).
Seated, we were asked about drinks. Eyeing the well-stocked bar I said "Margarita, please"... Nope. Bars not open... you can only have beer. Oh... Um... Ok. "Beer it is" we yelled over the music blaring from everywhere. Weirder and weirder. The beer was fine.
Next... Cocktail Mixto arrived to share. He brought 1 napkin and 1 spoon. I asked for some small plates and silverware. "Of course" he shouted and scurried off. He returned minutes later with... (drum roll please) another napkin and a spoon.
Oh well... We powered through the "Cocktail" which was really just a pretty glass full of a really bland Pico De Gallo, a couple of shrimp, some really AWFUL oysters (awful awful awful oysters) and octopus chunks of a texture I've NEVER experienced.
Meanwhile our "waiter" (and the only other human we saw in the hour plus that we were there) had turned DJ on us. When I say we had to shout to hear each-other... I mean YELL over Metallica (at 5:30pm on a Sunday... I'm even a metal-head and it was RIDICULOUS).
Being that we were tired, hungry and too lazy to go find another restaurant we agreed to try one... more... thing... to share.... Really trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that it may get better. Nope.
We ordered the Carne Asada Mixta plate, specifically explaining we were going to share. It came after not too long of a wait... (Carne asada, 4 shrimp, lumpy clumply tasteless cold rice and brown water with a faint hint of a beany odor)... We couldn't tell right away what it tasted like because once again we had to ask for some silverware (that we never got the first time. I swear they're rationing the stuff...)
To be fair, once we had implements with which to eat, the Carne Asada tasted really good!! It was extremely chewy because it was cooked poorly but it tasted good. The shrimp were also good and they were actually cooked well. (all 4 of them).
This was also eaten while being under an audio assault by various bands... We completely gave up trying to talk and concentrated on eating what was edible so we could get the heck out of there.
All in all... They'll never make it as a restaurant and it makes me sad. They didn't have 80% of the items shown on their Yelp photos or Online menu/gallery. They are a crappy east side karaoke nightclub wanna-be that serves mediocre (at best) food when you can get the one single employee to pay attention, step away from the DJ booth and maybe if your lucky bring you a fork.
As I write this never-ending terrible tale my mind keeps shouting "Oh.. and another thing" and "dont forget about that"... It really was awful in every single way.
