Five. Stars for the food four stars for the service, unfortunately. I really would've like to give him five stars but when you're paying a premium price for tacos and margaritas, you expect to at least get water when you sit down and not at the end of the meal and be acknowledged within at least 10 minutes of being seated. On top of that the hostess had an attitude that left much to be desired. Almost as if she was doing us a favor by seating us now onto the food.
Being of Mexican decent with a 'mama' who made exceptional, Mexican and American food, I am always very critical of tacos, chips, salsa, and guacamole. I'm very very pleased to say they do all of these really really well.
Brisket Taco
Cochinita Pibil Taco
Shrimp Acapulco
Tomato salad
The brisket is so flavorful and tender, the pork is also delicious and tender. The brisket taco was a surprise in that it has a crunchy shell, which is my absolute favorite, crunchy tacos.
The shrimp Acapulco (basically a shrimp cocktail, Mexican style) was delicious. I wanted to drink the 'agua' that the tender shrimp and just ripe avocado and onion it was floating in.
The small tostada chips tasted, homemade, and the green I'm guessing avocado salsa on the table was very tasty and not too spicy that you couldn't eat a lot of it
Who knew a tomato salad could be so good. Very nice portion of a beautiful and perfectly ripe tomato. On top of a tostada chip was a nice starter.
The Paloma cocktail was just as it was described on the menu.
The place is small and not great for large groups, but perfect for 2 to 4 people. I recommend going to the back and sitting under a heat lamp. If it's chilly outside the back seating area is very well decorated. You feel as if you've been transported to an entirely different country. It really makes the eating experience That much better.
Although the service was not great, Stephanie, our server was very pleasant, but with just one person taking orders, I'm sure that impacted her ability to be able to attend to our table in a timely manner.
I will be coming back here. I'm always willing to give a place that has really good food another chance to redeem themselves when it's the service that is not five stars. Good job Chef Jonah!
