I mean.... it's aight.
I think I read somewhere that the same people that own Three Amigos Restaurant and Cantina own this joint. And if that's the case, they need to go back to the drawing board. If not, then apologies Three Amigos! Somebody's trying to throw you under the bus.
But whomever is in charge of the flavas of these dishes need to step they game up. Now unfortunately for any Mexican joint, you're gonna need to come correct cause not only is Mexican my thing but it's my life. My homies always talk about how every time it's my turn to choose a spot for our monthly girls dinner, I choose Mexican. I mean hey, it's just my thing. After going to Tacuba in NY, the bar has been set. And This joint was nowhere near it.
First off the queso was okay. I read a review about cilantro added to the queso and it was in ours buuuuut I didn't get any of the cilantro flava, so to me it was pointless and wasn't a stand out in my list of top 10 queso dips.
The salsa wasn't memorable but at least it wasn't the canned stuff you get at your average $6/meal Mexican joint. But! I'd rather get food from a $6 Mexican joint considering that the tacos were okay.
I didn't realize I was adding cheese and salsa to 2 of my tacos until I put it in my mouth. And that's not a good sign. Tacos should stand alone in flavor. I shouldn't have to add cheese or salsa. The best taco out of the three was the fish. Probably because it had a lot of shit in it. And if you read any of my other reviews on Mexican food I like a lot of stuff in my food. Unless of course a simple dish is so damn good it needs nothing else. The carnitas and other taco had decent flava but it wasn't enough for me to want to come back. It was just.... average.
Our waiter was straight. Although he didn't let my homie Meleah substitute some sides for another, when he let our other friend, do it. Odd indeed.
So nah, I don't need to add this to my list of restaurants to go back to. But I'm glad I can check off one of my bookmarks on Yelp.
