Reviews
The Restaurant Week menu came with:a drink, an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. All of the portions were smaller than normal so take note of that when viewing the pictures.
The service was fine, the entree took a good amount of time to come out. The margarita was by far the better drink compared to the sangria. The appetizers: guacamole and warm queso were fine. The warm queso does come with a small amount of carne, sour cream, and guacamole. The entrees:chicken tinga enchiladas and traditional carnitas tacos were ok. The enchiladas cheese to meat ratio was too cheesy. The tacos were nothing special. The rice was moist borderline watery. The beans were just ok. They tasted canned and not well seasoned. The desserts: chocolate tres leches and dulce de leche flan were both good. The flan was nice and light. The tres leches was heavy and a little too thick to me. The complimentary chips and salsa were probably the best food items. The chips were warm and fresh. The salsa had a little kick but wasn’t spicy.
We sat outside in the large patio area. Misters were on and the whole restaurant has low lighting, so it was comfortable temperature wise.
Food was delicious, more authentic on the flavor profile than you would expect. The mole actually tasted like I was in Mexico.
Had the seafood platter for an appetizer and loved the shrimp cocktail that was on it. One note, this location does not do happy hour, but dont let that prevent you from coming!
I will be returning frequently!
Now for the so so things. My husband ordered the three enchilada plate. He said it was fine with the chicken being the best of the trio. Everything was very middle of the road. Nothing great, but nothing inedible either.
I wasn’t very hungry so I ordered one of my favorite dishes, chicken tortilla soup. When the soup came the presentation was lovely. The disappointment came with tasting the soup. It’s hard to imagine how tortilla soup can be made this bland. Other than the avocado chunks and the cheese there was no flavor to the soup. I asked for some lime wedges and cilantro. Those additions along with the remainder of the salsa leftover from the chips and salsa delivered ahead of the food, and some salt made the soup better. The other curious thing was that while the bowl was full of pieces of tortilla, there was no chicken in the soup. To be fair, chicken was not separately called out in the description of the menu. However, this was the first bowl of tortilla soup served to me in any restaurant that contained exactly zero chicken meat.
The enchiladas, my soup, two iced teas, a split order of apple empanadas, tax, and tip came to $70. We’re planning to go elsewhere for our next meal out. That price for mediocre enchiladas and a bowl of chicken broth filled with scraps of tortilla seems excessive to me.
Not your typical mexican food flavor. Loved the flan. Shout out to our server Justin.
