I came here on a Sunday evening around 8:45 PM. It was pretty quiet when we arrived, but it was…read morealso close to closing time. We sat at the bar and were immediately brought complimentary chips, salsa, and black bean dip. The salsa wasn't spicy, which I appreciated, and the black bean dip was delicious and a nice addition.
I ordered:
* Street Taco Plate: I chose the steak, though you can also choose from al pastor, carnitas, or chicken. The plate came with three street tacos, rice, and beans. I opted for the charro beans, which included sausage and bacon and was delicious. The tacos themselves were tasty, but I would have liked a little more protein in each one. The corn tortillas could have also been heated a bit longer, as they were still quite soft.
One thing I found disappointing was the lack of customization options. The street tacos are not available à la carte, so I wasn't able to create my own combination plate with a street taco, enchilada, and tamale. You also can't mix proteins on the street taco plate. You have to choose just one meat option.
Our server had only been working there for a couple of weeks and wasn't very familiar with the menu. He wasn't familiar with what carnitas and al pastor were and couldn't provide recommendations, mentioning that he only orders the fajitas himself. That said, he was friendly, attentive, and did a great job refilling our chips, checking on us, and making sure our drinks stayed full. I think it would benefit the restaurant if employees had the opportunity to sample more menu items so they could better guide guests.
The prices are on the higher side, but the food was enjoyable overall. The restaurant was clean and offers both indoor seating and a covered outdoor patio area. Despite a few minor issues, it was a pleasant dining experience and a good late-night spot to grab some Mexican food.
