I love myself a bougie Mexican restaurant, especially in an area like Carmel by the sea…read more Unfortunately, they're not quite ready for large parties and the busyness that come with Carmel's tourism. We waited almost 2 hours for food for a party of 10. Totopos and salsa can only do so much for so long. Did margaritas help? Of course, but then I just wanted to keep that going and forego the food . Food was 4/5 stars, price reallly hard to justify what you're receiving. The molcajete is unique and worth trying, the enchiladas were meh, tuna a hit or miss. We will return to give this place one more try.

Next time, if there are only two of us, we'll sit at the bar. My friend ordered The Valley, a tasty cocktail that comes with a rosé/raspberry popsicle. We order the crab cakes and chile relleno.

I ordered a side of huitlacoche tortillas which had a nice texture and taste.

Finally, someone with the same cravings brought me here. It was a slow weekday night. We were the only customers there, so for a second, I thought my date booked the whole restaurant (what, a woman can wish can't she?). Our waiter Michael O. was AMAZING. He did a few awesome fire displays with our drinks, and calaveras! I enjoyed his energy as much as I enjoyed the food. I had the Valentine's Day special, which included a nice sized steak and a lobster. The flavor in the steak was perfect. Nicely seasoned, and tender. I ate the lobster so fast yal, I don't remember what it tasted like. But I assure you, it must have been good lol.

I don't know where else you can find $2 tacos anymore--and that even includes birria. The birria tacos don't come with consommé, but honestly, they're packed with so much meat in every bite that you don't even miss it. They also have $3 volcanes (kind of like a tostada), which were super tasty, and the $6 margaritas were strong in the best way. Plus, the chips tasted fresh, which always makes a difference. On top of the food, the customer service was amazing--friendly, welcoming, and just overall a great vibe, good music. Street parking was easy to find on a weekday too.

I enjoyed my grilled cheese sandwich and soup, but I will admit I kept asking for a bite of my husband's chicken sandwich because it was so good. We also had the deviled eggs, which I highly recommend.

The ambiance is cute with a small closed off glass area of wine and two seater table inside! Our waitress Dominique was amazing. She was able to give great recommendations for wines and food. She also made us feel taken cared of and was friendly/warm. The food is a mix of mexican/euro/american so there were a lot of different options. Here are the things we got: Appetizers - Parm crusted cauliflower: so good, nice and crunchy but not too heavily breaded. The chipotle mayo was delish - Chicharrones: so light and crispy! They were hot out of the fryer. It had a side of a corn cheese dip that was so good and made it more unique of a dish -- must try if you even kind of eat chicharrones. I don't generally like pork skin but I enjoyed it regardless. - Hamachi ceviche: this is a large sharing portion with chunks of hamachi and avocado. Good but not a must have. Entrees - Enchiladas: very cheesy and overall a good dish but I would skip this. - Shrimp tostadas: large size shrimp and it just comes with two tostadas so I don't think it was worth the price - Barramundi fillet: The fish was tender and juicy. I liked the marinades that came with it. I liked this dish with the rice because it made me feel homey. Good portion of fish. - Agua Chile Ribeye: This is a must have! The ribeye is sous vide so it was soo tender and juicy. The broth was really nice to keep everything moist and flavorful. Because we were celebrating a birthday, Dominique made a dessert with a nice special touch. Will definitely be back again!

The jambalaya was full of flavors and filled with fresh ingredients: shrimps, mahi, spinach, zucchini, tomatoes, and okra. It also came with taquitos and they were delicious. Everything balanced each others so well and paired perfectly with all the hot sauces they offered. I'm not a fan of the avocado dip. It was okay. I would rather just get the salsa and chips. The place was big and have plenty of seatings. However, it started to get packed and open table became nonexistent. Out of all the Aqui locations I've gone to, the interior of this place is my fav. Service was fast and efficient. They routinely cleaned the table and picked up any empty dishes.
