| - I feel bad giving this restaurant only 2 stars, but my experience here was not as positive as the previous reviewers.
We sat at the bar and was admiring the atmosphere. It was warm and cozy and I can tell there were a lot of regulars, like a southwestern version of "Cheers", where everybody knows your name. Across the way, a few staff members took a shot with a "regular" laughing and just having a good ol' time. So back to my 2 stars, the service was great; it was the food that was lacking. My husband and I shared the sizzlin' peppers, which the cheese slid right off of the pepper. The peppers and cheese had no taste to them. My husbands chicken enchiladas was bland too. The texture of the chicken was moist, it just didn't have any flavor at all. I had the signature burger which had a mixture of beef and chorizo on ciabatta bun w/ cheese, green pepper and a fried egg. The description made me salivate, but to my dismay, the whole thing feel apart and the fries tasted like a bag of frozen fries from Costco (I'm not knockin' Costco, but I'd enjoy at home, not at a restaurant). I think a burger should be judged by how it can stick together too, but maybe that's just me. The actual meat patty was tasty, but the whole thing was just a mess and I couldn't enjoy it. Tried it the next day as leftovers, which validated my disappointment. It also made me realize, the pepper had no flavor and the beef was the only thing that was tasty. I wanted to like this place, but will not be going back. :(
