Atypical DDD but I swear Guy Fieri was one of those strange masked men in the pictures hanging on the wall. Arrived to be told it was a 30 minute wait but was seated after about 15. Opted for patio which provided lots of room in nice surroundings.
Started with a michelada ( beer and hot sauce wit some lime and salt on the rim). Well done and good price point and I liked the ability to choose from any of the numerous Mexican and non-Mexican beers on the menu.
After mulling over the array of guacamole, I opted for the jicama/pineapple mix. Big portion, fresh and tasty but not as unique as I hoped.
Ordered the Machaca (brisket) and atun (tuna) taquito plates at the recommendation of the waiter. Both were cooked well. The highlights were definitely the brisket filling (rich and complex) and the blood orange marmalade that came with the tuna. The chile rajita was good but not spectacular.
Dessert was the Capirotada. Despite the unique menu description (gingersnap and jalapeno) and promise by the waiter, I would say it was an average bread pudding.
Decor inside was unique and very tasteful. Cozy in and out even though some of the art is a bit creepy! Service was slow at times but the staff was pleasant.
All in all, a nice experience in a relaxed environment with refined, modern Mexican food. Didn't blow my mind but I also didn't leave disappointed although I do believe,based on the pictures inside, I had a few nightmares of masked Mexican wrestlers administering full nelsons on me while screaming "Mi comida es la mejor del mundo" in my ear.
