The atmosphere at this Mexican restaurant was charming, with a small, colorful setup that made the space feel cozy and welcoming. However, the vibe from the employee was neutral at best-not rude, but definitely not warm or enthusiastic either.
I started with chips and pico de gallo, which unfortunately set a disappointing tone. The chips were cold and tasted like they had been precooked and stored in the fridge. The pico de gallo lacked seasoning and was completely bland. It didn't help that out of the five tables in the restaurant, there was only one salt dispenser available.
On the bright side, the food came out quickly
--within ten minutes-which was impressive.
I ordered steak, chorizo, and birria tacos, along with rice, beans, and a water fresca. The chorizo tacos were easily the highlight of the meal-packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. The birria tacos were just okay, but they were served without the customary broth for dipping, which took away from the experience. As for the steak tacos, they were a major letdown. The meat seemed boiled almost no seasoning.
On a positive note, the rice and beans were well-seasoned and delicious, and the water fresca was refreshing and flavorful. But overall, the meal felt inconsistent-almost like two different cooks prepared the food and combined their dishes on one plate.
I really wanted to like this place, but the lack of consistency in the food quality and flavors was too hard to overlook. While I can justify the price if the food improves, at this point, I can't recommend it. Sadly, the cons outweighed the pros for me, and I won't be returning. read more
