Parking was a b*tch. It's right at the Wells roundabout with maybe four spaces if the odds are in your favor. To be fair, the area is historic and parking is always a gamble, but still... brace yourself.
I did find a long hair in my food. Not ideal. But I was already committed, so I discarded, regrouped, and powered through.
That said, the food slapped.!
Appetizers
- Guacamole: Truly amazing. I'm picky about guac because most places overdo it and ruin it. This one was balanced, fresh, and done right.
- Gambas al Ajillo - Savory, mouthwatering, with a solid kick (about 2 out of 5 spice). Would absolutely order again.
Mains
- Gobernador Tacos: Juicy, saucy, and generous. The extra side sauce was clutch. I ordered these as a backup because the menu we were given wasn't updated (I originally wanted the Korean BBQ short ribs).
- Grilled Beef Short Rib: Excellent flavor, served over rice, and the egg on top tied everything together nicely.
Drinks
- Tamarindo Rush: Mezcal brings the smoke, tamarind adds sweetness, Tajín gives it a little edge. Solid cocktail.
- La Sirena: The winner of the night. Sweet, sultry, dangerous in the best way. The siren indeed.
Bottom line: Parking stress and a hair mishap aside, the food and drinks absolutely delivered..
