| - After visiting a second time due to a pre-arranged family dinner, I can see the quality has improved. The service was better, the salsa was good and the portion sizes were huge (seriously, a single order of fajitas could be shared between two people with left-overs).
We ordered pitchers of what I would call their cadillac margaritas (containing Grand Marnier). Those I wasn't a fan of as they were extremely syrupy sweet, tasted like a premix, let alone tasting not very fresh. As for my order, my plate of carnitas was just okay. It was a large portion as well and I couldn't finish it. But at the same time I wasn't sad about it and didn't take the leftovers home. Bare in mind, I really love carnitas.
Now understand that my frame-of-reference is against other restaurants from my home town of Seattle, WA who has excellent Mexican cuisine. It's also measured against restaurants from my current place of residence, Los Angeles, CA where I've lived for 11 years. I've also eaten at many various Mexican restaurants in New York, Colorado, Oregon, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and especially around various parts of Mexico.
And with "Eric O's" attack on my credibility (which was very presumptive and fun to read), I do currently reside in a Latin American dominant part of the country, was engaged to a Mexican-American enjoying family cookouts religiously, and LOVE Mexican food having it as pretty much staple in my diet as proven by my belly. While this is just a personal preference of mine, I can speak for me and me alone that I've had much much better food out there and this place just isn't one of them. It might be fun for those who reside in the neighborhood, but I'm more inclined to explore other options next time I'm in town.
