Reviews
Had some enchiladas and the goat tacos. Very tasty and good portions. Side rice was a bit warm only.
Awesome cocktails and drinks.
Definitely will try it again. Recommend it.
There were some positive things to be said about the experience — beautiful decor, nice outdoor seating area, good service. In terms of food, the tacos al pastor my husband ordered were great and the tuna ceviche dish was delicious.
Unfortunately my mahi mahi tacos were so overcooked that I was left confused after my first bite — the fish had a hard, dry, potato-esque texture, and I had to visually check to make sure it was actually fish. They were also SWIMMING in a pile of unappetizing and suspiciously mayo-ish aoli that drowned out any other flavor. The dish was so bad I opted not to finish. Also cannot recommend the corn bread, or the frozen passion fruit margarita — it lasted like an overly sweet cheap bottled premix.
It’s possible we caught them on a bad day, but I won’t be back to find out.
This type of review is almost worse for me to give than a 1 star… its a place that somehow stays open, occupying space that you would much rather see something else appear. Super disappointed given I love the restaurant group’s other offerings – Royal Tavern and Triangle Tavern.
Today, it was yet another letdown. The restaurant was slammed for a street festival. I have to give them credit that I knew things would be jacked-up given the state of things on the ave. Unfortunately, I gave in to the wishes of my party who wanted to wait for a table here. The wait was declared as 25 minutes for a table, so we removed ourselves and shuffled in to the bar. Dev, our bartender, was very attentive and friendly. The food on the other hand, took 35 minutes to arrive. Additionally, my rancheros tacos had dry steak, potatoes that made it worse, and a heap of flavorless melted cheese sauce tucked between cold, stiff doubled-tortillas. I may have choked them down with a fake smile had this not been the 7th time ive been here and totally underwhelmed. I offered the plate back to the server. One person in my party was kind enough to offer me one of her quesadillas that she had. It was cold, soggy, and similarly flavorless.
I recommend for anyone considering this place to stick with Triangle or Royal. If you need your taco fix there are literally 3 better options within walking distance: Pistolas del Sur, Juana Tamale, or La Llorena.
