My wife ordered ALITAS WITH SALSA MACHA that were delicious.
Then she ordered ZARANDEADO tacos that were incredible, but unfortunately the hand made tortilla wasn’t WARM ENOUGH, so we believed the tacos were seating in the kitchen for a bit.
I ordered TORRAS AHOGADAS, and weren’t really ahogadas, but they were good. UNFORTUNATELY THE SALSA WAS COLD!!!!!
The place it is absolutely classic and modern. It has a great VIBE!!!!!
BUT food shouldn’t be cold for the price that we paid for, in the other side we loved and will be back soon.
Also loved the bathrooms!!!!!
I usually love this place, the bartenders are great, and I often sit at the bar. Today I was a bit disappointed. They were out of the happy hour drink, so I ordered my basic conejos mezcal margarita off the menu. This mezcal that was used is used on other house drinks. I don’t always come during happy hour and have ordered this same drink many times, paying $15, but today I was charged $19 for this drink.
When I asked about it, since I always pay the same price for this drink, the server didn’t really look into it and just said that’s what it came up as instead of checking with the bartender or management.
I don’t mind price changes, but for a basic drink at that price, I’d expect a bit more. Just a heads up to keep an eye on your receipt, as pricing may vary depending on who’s serving you.
Old review:
Overall, I love this place. It’s so nice to have something great in this neighborhood without having to drive into the city. They have a full bar, and the drinks are always good but you’re not limited to the menu. The bartenders are knowledgeable and can make pretty much anything you’re in the mood for.
The food is delicious, too. My favorites so far are the honey chipotle wings, the aguachile negro, and the ceviche. I do wish the ceviche had a little more heat, but they’re happy to bring out salsa if you ask. I also really liked the arrachera dinner plate.
They offer happy hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it’s a great addition to the neighborhood, and I hope they continue adding to the menu even if it’s just seasonal items.
Now for the food and drinks. I had the Flor de Humo and my boyfriend had the O.G Jalisco. Both were good. For food we had, flautas de camaron, guacbelly, salsa Macha wings, dos compas tacos, and the pina colada tres leches cake.
Flautas de camaron is a 3/10. Didn’t taste any shrimp, the toppings had no flavor.
Guacbelly is a 6/10. The guacamole is also bland. The mangos on top of the guac is a nice flair but add a bit more seasoning to the guac so the mango is a nice compliment to the flavor without the mango carrying the whole flavor profile of the dish. The pork belly was good but let’s be honest deep fried pork belly is always good.
Salsa Macha Wings 0/10. I have never tasted wings that had sauce but no flavor. The description sounded amazing. Tamarindo with smokey sweet sauce. But how is it that the flavor is only there the first second you bite into the wings? I have never tasted wings that taste like water. Season in layer. What ever the seasoning you put for the sauce, marinate it in the wings before you fry. Also how is it that the ranch sauce doesn’t have flavor either?
Dos Campos tacos 6/10. Honestly these are pastor tacos with pineapple pieces. 2 tacos for $13? Because it has pineapple pieces on it? Sorry but no. You can walk 0.2 miles(6 mins) down Ogden to El Meson Express and get the same 2 pastor tacos(without pineapple) for half the price for the same taste.
Pina Colada Tres Leches 9/10. Honestly this saved the meal. Cake was good, I loved the pineapple pieces on top with the coconut shaving. Would be even better if you toast the coconut shavings. Very big piece. Worth getting.
Everything came out to be $102 without tip.
Very upset because I was excited to try the food as the family are also family of the owners of El Meson Express which has been in the neighborhood for years and has also been the go to spot for many. As people who have been in the restaurant business, they need to do better. How are you a taquero for the family restaurant but for this, the food has no flavor!? Very disappointed especially since I waited for over an hour. Outside at that.
