We stopped by for a late lunch recently, expecting bold flavors. Our meal was okay, but not great.
We started with esquites, which were creamy and spicy, but very salty. It was difficult to find a charred corn flavor. Less salt, more cilantro, lime, and grilling maybe? We also ordered guacamole, which was fresh--a pleasant rarity these days--but underpowered, and covered in diced red onions. Some is good; lots is not more good.
Our mains were taco grandes (corn tortillas). All were over-topped with things like plain cabbage, and most were under-stuffed with the chosen proteins. The adobo steak was the best: the tender, flavorful meat came in satisfying chunks. We had high hopes for the Poc Chuc, but there was very little chicken, and its flavor was so mild as to be very generic. I can't name any of its seasonings. The birria was similarly vague, and the shrimp was tasty, but there were just two medium-sized ones buried under the cabbage and cheese: not even enough to really share. Our chosen sides, black beans, came in large portions. They had cheese on top, but again, were so bland that they only came alive when we heaped on some of the very good red and green salsa.
Service was prompt and friendly. Altogether, I think Seis is cooking for tourist palates here, and not taking chances on the adventurous possibilities regional Mexican offers. We wished there was more protein and that it had been more daringly flavored. Bring your parents when they visit from the Midwest; they'll thank you for it.
