| - Went based on a recommendation my husband and I got saying that it was good. Out usual spot is Las Isletas, but we were down to try something closer to our place. The food was decent and we both tried something different than what we are used to with our other usual spot. Hubby got the SEAFOOD TOSTADA and the SEAFOOD ENCHILADA while I got the PINA MIXTA. Overall, the food was decent and the TOSTADA was pretty tasty with the various seafood (ceviche, octopus, and imitation crab) all on one tostada. What I ordered was pretty decent. I felt overwhelmed with more pineapples than the SEAFOOD as they delivered it in a half carved out pineapple. The grilled spears was a nice touch and the rest of the pineapple were mixed in with the nice sweet and savoury sauce alongside some shrimp and mini crab legs. The ENCHILADA wasn't my thing as the texture of the shrimp (kind of like ground up shrimp) was off putting. I would much rather have it not too finely chopped, but just some decent chunks of the shrimp. In addition, I'm used to the wet enchilada and it looked and tasted like it was pretty dried up not having too much sauce. Hey, I'll admit I'm used to the non traditional Mexican foods while my Mexican hubby was quick to coach me that this is how it really should be. Anyhoo, we went on a weekday an hour before 12 and of course, we didn't anticipate that it would be busy. Was disappointed that the service was lacking despite that. We were only tended to when the food came in and when I desperately needed some refill on my drink after a spicy taste of something, I was dismayed to see the girls just chatting for a good while. I swear there was a water cooler nearby with the length of their convo and I might as well have fetched my own drink.
Will I go back? Maybe with a twist of my arm I will, just to not drive too far to my other spot across town. I'm down to give them one more shot and make sure to have them deliver 2 drinks at a time and hopefully amend this review with another star.
