| - I went purely on the reviews from Yelp, and frankly, was very disappointed. My rating is really a 1.5 star. We ordered the guac and chips as a starter- this was fresh, just mashed guacamole with some coriander and very little seasoning. The "homemade" chips were very greasy. The guacamole was overpriced at $8.99 for a small cup. Our mains were the real disaster. My companion had marinated pork tacos...Oh boy, the pork was so incredibly dry like the bottom of a shoe!!! There was no juice left on that poor sucker, and since we heard the microwave go off a few times while there, we really believe that pork has been reheated and recooked to oblivion a few times. The corn taco in which the pork was put was also extremely dry and like a shoe as well. My dish, enchilada with green sauce was like baby food. Boiled bland chicken stuffing in a corn shell that was drenched in VERY sour green tomatillo sauce, and some bland melted cheese. There were three pieces and I had 1.5 of that in pure starving desparation. A tiny little cup of black beans (extremely runny and no flavor, had one spoon and that's it) and bland rice rounded out my (NOT) winner of a dish.
Service was blah. The girl serving us was not very helpful and totally distracted. Because this place is in a basement, it has a very strong smell of mold. It washed over us as soon as we walked in and was strong enough that my friend wanted to leave.
We went in hopes of finding this "secret" that Yelp reviewers were raving about, but alas, it's back to the drawing board. Places closer to downtown, such sa La Tamalera and Ta Chido (a place I had problems with...review to follow) are better than this!!
Gotta go now and drink some fizzy water to try and wash out that sour unsettling feeling from the green sauce!!
