Sinigual gives off fancy vibes!! My friends and I were dressed pretty nice, and one of them came from work so they were in their work clothes. But if I came in any more casual I would have felt out of place.
The service was great throughout the night. They took our drink orders, asked if we wanted refills, filled our waters, etc.
The drinks - I got a moscow mule, my friend got beers - were decent.
To start, we had complimentary flour tortillas (4) with some sides of salsas and butter. I liked the flour tortillas!! but it confused me later on.
We started with some table side guac, which was fun to watch it being made by the table! Although the stand the server was using was too high for me (a short person lol) to see the bowl or anything happening at the stand-level, so that was kind of a bummer.
The chips and guac were good (I actually wish the guac had more salt!!)
For entrees, I ordered the chicken fajitas. My friend got the carne asada and for both of our dishes, there was an awkward amount of empty space in our plates. (see my pictures for the chicken fajitas). I had a piping hot plate of the sizzling peppers and onions and the chicken. The chicken was really good btw- perfectly cooked, but honestly missing some seasoning.
Then I got another plate that had guac and pico de gallo, a bowl of beans, and then empty space. I think the space was meant for the tortillas..... I think. So that's where the confusion came in. If the tortillas was meant for the dish like the fajitas then I'm not sure why they would give that first thing at the table to munch on, especially at that point we had nearly finished the tortillas. My friend's dish, which I didn't get to take a picture of, also had a ton of empty space on the dish aside from the corn and meat, so I was wondering if it was missing anything too.
My third friend, who is plant-based, ordered a plate of rice and beans for herself. I wonder if the server expected us to share that and use with our entree dishes. Otherwise I am left wondering if they left something off our plates. It just seemed odd!
The onions were cooked so that it was caramelized, which is always tasty, but I think the dish overall could have used more salt and seasoning.
The place does give off nice dinner/business meal vibes, but I wouldn't say it's my go-to place for Mexican food in town based on my experience.
