| - My boyfriend and I had been trying to get into this place for a whole year. I had planned to take him last year for his birthday, but when I called and tried to reserve a reservation, they told me they only took them for bigger parties, which is fine. However, when we went on Saturday-many parties of two had come in with a reservation and made their way to their table upstairs. Maybe I misunderstood-but I thought it odd that I had been trying to get into this place for a year and was surprised when we sat near the door on Saturday and I saw party after party come in with a reservation and be taken upstairs. When I had tried to get in without a reservation again later in the year, the hostess dismissed me again. Whatever, I just planned to get there exactly when the doors opened at 5:00 for the next attempt, so I couldn't possibly be dismissed. So that's what we did.
Saturday, we planned to get there exactly at 5:00, which we almost did, got in around 5:15. When we came in, the hostess was filled with attitude, and it only got worse as the night went on, I only know because we sat directly next to the door where people were coming in. We told her we didn't have a reservation and immediately her demeanor changed towards us, like how dare we? Considering the last year I had been told that I wasn't allowed to make a reservation for just two people, I thought that her attitude was unnecessary, because obviously, if I would have known, I would have made one. There was one table for two left near the door, and we were told that was ok to sit at, so we did. The rest of the restaurant was jam-packed though. Only that one table was available when we arrived, meaning in 15 minutes, the place had been filled.
Other than the rude hostess turning away everyone that came without a reservation (the nerve of those people) our dinner was very flavorful. The guacamole (of course) was amazing. We got the sampler (3 different flavors) and I just enjoyed tasting the different kinds. Then we shared some taquitos, and I can't remember the name now, but I believe we ordered the carnitas, full of flavor!
Overall, good place to grab when your out in the city, but unfortunately, you would have to plan your dinner if you want to go here. Make a reservation-because apparently you can do that for all size parties...which is the opposite of what I was told....
Anyway-they really need to work on switching out their hostess, because she made the whole evening uncomfortable, honestly, and she needs to work on her people skills. The rest of the staff was so pleasant though! Our waitress was very attentive, and I heard the bartender conversing with everyone he was waiting on.
