| - I was so excited to try this restaurant, and I have to say, I was far from impressed by this place! I went with a group on 12 later in the evening on a Saturday night. With the restaurant being new, I have to say, they were quite accommodating and sat us rather quickly. But, after being seated, it took a good 15 minutes or so before we were even brought water. Then, after finally being given water and chips, another 15 minutes or so passed before anyone was asked if they wanted other beverages and/or appetizers. I was starving, hence grouchy, so not incredibly happy at this point. I dug into the chips, which were not bad, but slicked with oil. They were hands down the greasiest tortilla chips that I have ever had. This might be someone's dream come true, but I just don't like greasy food, but, like I said, I was starving, so beggars can't be choosers. The salsa was pretty good, but nothing to write home about.
Finally, after being there for what seemed to be an eternity, our food arrived. I ordered the Tacos Al Pastor, usually one of my favorites because I loooove pork. These were HORRIBLE! There were three tacos in the order, each of which came with two corn tortillas sort of fused together. The doubling up of the tortillas made for a really dry base for the taco. Inside the taco, there was hardly any filling, so I was basically just eating corn tortillas. Not cool. The pork inside was cubed, which was weird. I expected it to be shredded. The cubed pork was slimy on the outside and dry on the inside, and relatively flavorless. It was truly godawful. The only thing that added flavor to these tacos were the slices of pineapple in them, and thank god for those, because otherwise I would have probably gagged. I kept trying to compensate for the lack of flavor/texture of the food by dousing the tacos with the sub-par guacamole that I ordered, but this was hardly to any avail. I was incredibly disappointed with these half-ass tacos. I know plenty other places locally that serve incredible Mexican food, so there is no need for me ever to return to this establishment.
Word to the wise--do not let the cute decor and location fool you--this place sucks! I know it's new and new restaurants always face challenges, but excepting the bad service likely due to the newness of the restaurant, the food just ain't good.
