| - Great place! Me and my partner in crime, after reading some of the reviews, decided to come here before a concert. We took advice from people and made sure to make reservations. (Very good idea. About 10 minutes after we got there, there was a wait.) Even though the place was small, I still believe the diners were able to obtain privacy, and not be elbow to elbow like in other places its size. (A true plus!)
As for the food? The smoked trout and bacon guacamole is a must try. And I love the pork belly taquitos! The price for everything was great too! We went during happy hour and got half off our taquitos. The whole thing, guac, two taquitos, and two non alcoholic drinks, all came around to $30. Wow! If you're going to go, go during happy hour and you get a great deal!
The service was great also. I think our server's name was Ryan, and he did a great job. We never wanted anything and he was very polite even though the dining room looked rather busy.
As for the atmosphere, my companion, who's actually been to mexico, said that it reminded him of an actual Mexican cantina. Very dark, quaint, the use of candles... It was actually quite romantic! My only complaints would be that maybe it was a little too dark. And there was limited parking. (Very small lot...) But if you go early, it shouldn't be a problem. That being said, I would feel like making an issue of those things would be rather nit-picky, but they are good to keep in mind for your first visit.
