| - I've gone to Fresco twice, so I'll probably refer to both experiences in my review.
ATMOSPHERE 4/5
It's colorful and very open. It's kind of stylish and casual. Lots of variety of seating; you can sit on a stool at bar (not like a bartender-at-the-bar bar, but like, ya know, a bar that's really just a long table), a little tables, big tables with benches, or whatever.
STAFF 4/5
Staff has been friendly both times I've been there. There's not much interaction with the staff, outside of ordering your food and someone has stopped by my table each time to ask how my meal was. I knocked off a point because my order was messed up both times I was there. Each time, I ordered ground beef tacos without pico. The first time, it came with pico, but without sour cream. The second time, my tacos didn't have pico, but also didn't come with sour cream. Which the menu says sour cream, so that's strange. I never bothered to ask anyone to fix the mistake, so I can't speak to how they'd handle it, but I'm sure it wouldn't be a big deal.
TASTE 3.75/5
After my first visit, I'd probably had said 4/5. My second visit, however, wasn't quite as good though. The first time, things were great, but the second time, they pulled a Chipotle on me and filled my tacos with lettuce, then seemingly dropped some beef and cheese in there on accident, and there wasn't much of the latter two. Though the cost of food is like Chipotle, I think the Fresco food tastes MUCH better (when they aren't giving you lettuce tacos). It's Americanized mexican food and I think it's done pretty well. Also, they have a salsa bar which has regular salsas, habanero, pineapple, corn, and others; a really cool feature of the bar. Conveniently, they have a wide variety of hot sauces for you to use as well. Also, they have a decent selection of bottled beers, which I appreciate.
COST 3/5
Again, I think it's about the same as Chipotle. My tacos cost around $7 for three of them and some chips. My beer was about $3. Pretty fair prices.
OVERALL 3.75
I do quite like the food there and will definitely go back. They have daily specials that they have marked outside on a board, which encourages some exploration of their menu. If you live in or will be around the Kent area, it's certainly worth stopping by. I've lived in Kent or surrounding cities since 2004 and will be moving away in a couple months. Fresco, among other new establishments in downtown Kent, make me wonder why the city waited so long to get so many things going right for it.
