The very nice waitress asks what I want to drink and I ask for iced tea… sorry, they don’t have that, no biggie, I settle for water.So I go ahead order the Mexican Enchiladas.
Then they bring me chips, and my heart sinks a little. I really had a hankering for chips today, that’s why I opted for Mexican in the first place and though they look good, it’s a miserly portion and is served with beans instead of salsa. The beans are okay, but I miss the bite of a good fresh salsa.
This is still more or less ok. I’m expecting I’ll get more chips later and am still looking forward to the enchiladas. When they arrive, they are very pretty, artfully put together. I ask for more chips and the waitress repeats chips and scurries off… There were no more chips coming.
Like I said, they are pretty, although they look a little lonely sitting there on the plate like three pretty but isolated senoritas, all dressed up with flowers in their hair but nowhere to go. I suppose it is a Style. They were kind of dry and tough, I had a hard time cutting them up. The flavor was good, but they were miles away from what I expected. Maybe if they were served with some beans or something I could have mixed them around or smushed them up.
I’m still waiting for chips… And now I’m waiting for water too. It’s not like the waitress isn’t around, she is serving people on both sides of me, but I must have become invisible. I feel like the place is mostly show. Lots of promise, but no commitment to actually pulling off the act. It’s the first time I’ve left a Mexican restaurant feeling unsatisfied. It just felt a little stingy. I mean it’s right down the street from MI CASA PUPUSERIA, a restaurant that excels in all the best ways, not as pretty, but better food, better service and a more down home feeling of welcome.
So I feel the place has pretensions. They are trying to be more of a date place, a bit more upper crust, but they’re missing some of the foundation needed to pull that off. The presentation is good, but the earthy and essential welcome is not there.
I would not tell people not to go there, but I doubt I’ll go back. There are simply too many better options.
Won’t be the last!
I enjoyed the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. Stuffed with ample, juicy chicken. The mole was a bit on the sweet side, but nothing that a dash or two of chili oil didn’t cure.
The beans and rice were even above average.
Looking forward to my next visit to try some other dishes.
