| - This is a tough one to review. It appears to be nightclub that has a restaurant during the earlier hours as an afterthought. Upon entering the restaurant and getting seated, the only thing that I could think was that coming here was a big mistake. It does not have anything close to the atmosphere of a Mexican restaurant. The furniture is bland and cheap. You almost feel like the place is outfitted with folding chairs and tables. It is really not decorated in any way. You get the feeling that the ownership did everything they could to spend as little as possible on the physical restaurant. Even the menus appeared cheap and low budget. They were simply legal sized laminated pieces of paper that looked like someone created on their home computer.
The food, however, is a completely different story. My wife and I both ordered the "street tacos" and split sides of rice and beans. We had chicken, carnitas, carne asada, short ribs, and beef tacos. They were all absolutely excellent. The meats were seasons and cooked perfectly and very generously portioned. We both agreed that they were quite possibly the best tacos we've had. And reasonably priced at $2.50 each. The rice and beans were very flavorful as well. Even our margaritas were quite good. Fresh, not from mix, and also reasonably priced at $5. The overall meal itself was fantastic. Our check for the entire meal, including two margaritas, was less than $28. A great deal for an awesome meal. It's just unfortunate that the atmosphere and physical restaurant was so disappointing.
I guess if you are looking for a nightclub, this might be a good place too. I think that I'm too old and far removed from the club scene to appreciate or understand club decor. Regardless, I would rate the food 4 to 5 stars, but the restaurant itself 1 star at best. It's unfortunate that I can only give this restaurant a 3 star rating, because the food deserves better.
