| - This place just opened up last Friday and we happened to stop in the day of the Grande Opening. The place was empty, disorganized, boozeless, and really difficult to get to. You actually have to enter through an old bank drive thru, kind of. There is a little tiny sign where you can turn but if you miss it, like we did, the next turn is into the old bank.
When we walked in it was as if the hostess was surprised to see us. Instead of seating us closer to the door, she gave us a booth furthest away from the kitchen and sat us right next to the only other patrons in the place. These girls were obnoxious. The one was talking about how she doesn't have sex with white guys and every other word was an F bomb. Our waitress knew of this and didn't even offer to move us. That would have been the right thing to do. Instead we just decided to eavesdrop just to see what this girl was going to say next.
The food was actually not bad at all. The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh, obviously, but high notes go to the salsa. I ordered off the a la carte menu because I can do without the rice and beans. My dinner choice was 3 enchiladas, one beef, one chicken, and one bean. The chicken was my favorite by far but the others do get high marks regarding taste. I wish they would have put pablanos in all three not just the chicken. I would also recommend more cheese on top. Other then that, my food gets 4 stars. The wife liked her enchilada but chose only to eat half of her burrito. That could have used more cheese and sauce. Given it was their first day, we'll let it slide...lol.
So my suggestion is to go there next week when they have booze. Something tells me that they will be having an official Grand Opening once the liquor arrives. The place is absolutely huge with fun, exciting decor. The bar stools are f'n hilarious. I don't thing there enough parking spaces to fill the place so even if it looks busy, they probably have a spot for you and your family. I really want to give this a 4 star but the corporate chain feel and shaky first experience was only worth a solid 3. I will be back to try something else and for sure try their margaritas. Look for an updated review then.
