One of the benefits of this place is that it's pretty. I love the decor, with the art featuring notable Mexican artists such as Frida Kahlo. There's a wall of golden, which is a perfect backdrop for a gram post. However, the food and drinks fall short.
Drinks: El Verado. Very heavy on the alcohol with not enough lime juice, tamarind, or syrup. I tasted the El Catrin, and the flavors didn't not go well together. My friend had this and she was so unhappy that she only took two sips. I even had the red blend wine, and it tasted like it wasn't fresh.
Apps were super plain. Salsa was guacamole was bland, not enough lime, lemon, or salt! The fresh guacamole only had three chicharrones! I'm super disappointed. We also ordered the esquites, which had either lime or lemon juice in it. This does not compliment the dish at all, and we just took a few bites and left it alone.
The shrimp tacos are a decent size and had the most flavor out of anything I've eaten. In an attempt to save this meal, I ordered the chocoflan. The flan was not creamy, had no caramel drizzle, and the chocolate cake was a tad dry. I've never felt sad after a meal. Customer service was good, however.
