| - I really came in here with optimism seeing the high ratings, but sadly this was another dodge at Mexican food for me. Maybe we came in on the good cook's day off, but I doubt it and will not return to find out.
The place was packed so I thought that's got to be a good sign, right? But no, the place is just really small. The next big test would be the chips and salsa, and unfortunately bottled salsa and stale chips are not a good impression on what's to follow.
We tried to order the yelp check in offer of a free Horchata, but our server said this was only good during the week, so our impatient server said he'd be back and we continued to search the menu.
A different server dropped off two large Horchatas and so I thought wow we didn't really put in our order, but thought oh well they're here now, and I then asked if these were the small or large drinks, and she said "large, because there are no refills" WoW! I didn't think the first server even took our drink order and then to find out we didn't have a choice of small or large really did not impress me further. The Horchata was clearly just rice water with a little sugar and cinnamon, not good at all!
On to our appetizer and entrees. We ordered a half a dozen of oysters that were prepared with pulpo (octopus) and crab ceviche type of thing. They were very bland with no taste of seafood whatsoever and the crab of course was imitation crab these were served with some kind of runoff liquid, gross. At this point I was not looking forward to the rest of our orders, but they came out before I could finish with my thoughts. I had the bandera burrito which came with carne asada, chorizo rice and beans, covered in some red and green tasteless sauce. The chorizo totally overpowered the carne asada taste or anything else inside the burrito and was just not good at all. My husband ordered some kind of shrimp dish which had six or seven overcooked shrimp all shriveled up buried under sautéed onions, accompanied by bland rice and overly refried beans.
The food was not good by any means, and to top it off there was a two man band playing nice music but way to loud for such a small establishment.
Hole in the wall places like these normally are the best type of eateries but this one unfortunately for me was a wasted hole in a wall and could stay a playa escondida (hidden beach). The best part was the company, (thanks Norm and Nels) but as far as the food here, nothing I would ever want to try twice, in fact I wish I could take this one back.
