| - Bel Air is still fairly new to Madison. The booths look plain and uncomfortable but are really not at all. We asked to be seated by the window, and although there were just two of us the host accommodated us with pleasure, and without even a hint of "oh, fine, if you insist." He made sure to turn around and ask how our day was going on the way to the booth, and we saw him do the same to another party; it's a nice personal touch. The waitress was just as pleasant, and all smiles. The chips and salsa were spot on, and we ordered some tacos and a quesadilla. The quesadilla was good, though not a stand-out dish by any means in terms of either flavor or size. The Pollo Yucatan taco was our favorite, flavorful and fresh. The mahi mahi taco was just ok, and the lamb Barbacoa taco was something we wish we hadn't ordered. It wasn't very big, but a full shotglass of grease dripped out of it, enough to cover the entire bottom of the plate. We saved it for last, which was a big mistake because it was unfortunately our last impression. Bel Air is doing it right when it comes to service, but still has some issues to iron out when it comes to the food. Since we appreciate good service, we'll give it another chance, hoping the kitchen is up to speed by then too.
