FOOD GENRE: The title says it all... essentially Mexican dishes here
PRICE: Probably a little pricey... when I went the cost for both of us to eat lunch was about $30 altogether.
This restaurant wasn't bad, but it definitely hasn't been one of the best places I've ever eaten. Some of the dishes are unique, although you do pay for that uniqueness. I got a basic plate with enchiladas and rice, which the meal didn't stand out any more than every other Mexican place I've eaten at (El Chicos and Ted's are just as good in my opinion). However, our starter of a giant bowl of white queso was delicious. It was loaded out with everything sitting on top of the queso so you could mix it together or eat them separately if you wanted. Honestly the queso starter was my favorite part. But note: the queso was not free with the meal. They give you free chips and salsa, but no queso.
The staff was impressive. Our waiter memorized our meal and returned with everything just like we ordered. One of the few times I've seen waiters work so well without having to write things down. The dress is a little fancier... you sure wouldn't want to show up in torn jeans and a T-shirt, that's for sure! The environment is decent... the music they play is a good blend of modern latin beats, yet they don't blast it from the speakers. It isn't a huge restaurant, it might be a good idea to do reservations to avoid the lunch/dinner rush hour if you hope to get in and out. The location of it was unique... it's more on the outskirts of downtown, yet there's an assortment of chic restaurants like like it right in the area... a little exclusive restaurant neighborhood if you will.
All in all, the food is good, although not exceptional, the staff is very impressive. If people wanted to eat here again, I would go with them, but it wouldn't be my first recommendation.
RATING: 7/10
