| - I was visiting family for my cousin's high school graduation and we ended up here as a group. Before I visited I had read the previous Yelp reviewers and realized I was in for an overpriced, unappetizing disappointment. Let's just say I was NOT let down on that. Unfortunately, for those that are quick viewers due to the previous fake reviewers (those who have 1 or 2 reviews under their belt) have brought the stars value to 3 when in actuality it should be 1...maybe 2.
*Service:
Very, very poor. The restaurant was perhaps 1/3 full and they were overstaffed as far as waiters go. It was a 100+ degree day outside, and we had a group of 15. The waitress could not figure out that we were parched and even when we asked her to bring water she only remembered half the time. She checked in on our table rarely yet she had no other customers, basically to get drink orders, food orders, dessert orders, and to drop the check.
*Food:
+Baked Cheese-House cheese blend baked w/ a roasted tomato-habanero-chipolte sauce, topped w/ Grilled Chicken, Ham and Chorizo-served w/ fresh corn and flour tortillas
It was a skillet of cheese with random scatterings of cut ham, with what the table concluded was cinnamon in it. It was basically, an overpriced sweet 1lb of cheese in a skillet.
+Side dish-Black Beans with Orzo
The beans were hard as if they were not thoroughly cooked and very salty.
+Grilled Salmon-Grilled farm raised fillet of salmon, served with a guajillo-pineapple sauce and pineapple salsa
Thank goodness I asked for the sauce on the side. The salmon was a bit on the salty side for me, and the pineapple salsa was a bit sweet. It could have been a good contrast, but it wasn't. The sauce that I asked for on the side was super sugary. The salmon dish was barely eatable w/o the sauce, but with it...I could only imagine the disaster.
+Traditional Flan-Old-fashioned caramel flan served with mixed berry compote
We asked for the compote on the side as we all just wanted the flan. This was laughable. Literally a couple of us laughed at the sorry, pitiful heap of flan on the plate. Once again the chef must have tried for the sweet tart contrast again. The flan was ever so sweet and the berries were quite tart. Unfortunately, the chef missed the mark again!
*Presentation:
It all looked beautiful...the way the sauces and colors were presented on the plates. Although, my cousin but it perfect when she said, "Mexican food is suppose to look sloppy and taste great. This looks great and taste blech."
Consensus at the table: thumbs down, not to be repeated or recommended except to enemies.
