| - The Good:
Drinks- I had an off-menu "house margarita" which was strong but really tasty. My friend had the mule and was also very satisfied.
Queso- similar to Bakersfield in that it comes in a thin layer in a cast iron skillet. It also comes with a swirl of Roja sauce which almost reminded me of a mole. Really good! The chips are also good but I prefer thinner chips.
The So-so:
Most of the tacos- we each had 3 tacos ($2 each Monday-Friday 4-6pm). My favorite was the carne, which was spicy shredded beef. His favorite was the grilled shrimp taco. I am undecided about the carnitas, as they come with peanuts and peanut sauce. I am a huge peanut fan and still was a bit weirded out by the flavors. The tuna taco was my least favorite as I did not like the marinade on the tuna. I know people are very split on the tortillas but we both loved them! Not too thin that they split but not super thick either, and I loved the blue corn flavor.
Valet: it was fine for me but there was a line almost out into East Blvd by the time I left the restaurant and people in their cars were visibly annoyed. I'm worried that, although the valet is supposed to help prevent booted cars in the lot, people are gonna see the line and end up parking illegally in other lots anyway
The Bad:
Service- let me start off by saying everyone was really nice, which goes a long way. Unfortunately there were some glaring mishaps along the way. First, it was a bit awkward as I was meeting a date and was only offered a community table. I had to ask if there were any regular tables available, and there turned out to be plenty. My waitress was also nice but needed more training. She read the specials super fast, prompting me to have to ask multiple times what she said. She also told us about the seasonal drink (blueberry margarita which is my favorite!) until after we had both already ordered our drinks. We both felt a bit rushed and had to ask if she could give us a couple more minutes to look at the menu when ordering both drinks and food.
Prices: I get that this supposed to be a higher-end tapas place but when you are charging for chips ($4.50 no less!!), the food better be amazing, which I didn't find that it was. I think free chips would also help me be more willing to pay for the tapas (starting at $8 for 1 empanada...), but to be honest I can find cheaper, better tapas/Mexican food elsewhere in Charlotte.
I get that they are new and so I'm hoping they work out the kinks in the next couple of weeks.
