The inside of the restaurant is colorful and clean but modest, with a few tvs hanging on the wall showing soccer games. The food is exceptional - it was clearly made fresh to order.

This time, I stopped in on a Friday night to check out the upstairs. The drinks were a 10/10 -- absolutely delicious and strong without skimping. The daiquiri and the chips and salsa were definitely the highlights of the night. The food was just okay. The garlic shrimp were pretty good, but the rice lacked flavor and the refried beans were barely a tablespoon spread across the plate. We also had the shrimp cocktail appetizer, which was just alright -- the shrimp were a little tough. Service was great. The waiter was friendly and attentive and moved fast! Overall, it's a fun vibe and a great spot to hang out and catch up over drinks, but I'd come more for the bar than the food. There's a municipal parking lot a short walk from the main entrance.

I was in the neighborhood delivering packages (wearing a neon netted vest) and asked the older lady…read morein the front if I could use the bathroom and let her know I was doing deliveries in the area. She seemed as if she didn't understand so I asked her if she understood what I was saying. She waved her hand toward the bathroom and said "okay". When I went to open the door it was locked. I said, "oh sorry" and then waited patiently. She comes out, I go in. As I'm leaving I say, "Thank you". When I'm almost to the door the young worker said, "you're not supposed to use the bathroom". I turned around and asked her to repeat herself. After I explained the earlier exchange with the lady that said I could use it she actually said I was lying. I told her I wasn't, but then explained to her that we all are working on the same side of servicing the community, we should be sticking together, and there is nothing wrong with allowing a delivery person to use the restroom. She continued to be argumentative and say I wasn't supposed to and that I was lying. This establishment was completely empty during the afternoon on a Friday. I have decided to leave this review because, as a black woman, I cannot be sure if her disrespect was racially motivated, especially in this social climate. I would never recommend someone patron a business that treats potential customers in such a classless and demeaning manner. It's unfortunate that she felt so comfortable being so disrespectful to a grown woman despite being addressed respectfully. The owner needs to sit her down and explain how the way she handled that was inappropriate and how split decisions can affect business. She definitely has some maturing to do.

The wine michelada was just OK, though I'm not an avid michelada drinker. It was made with care though. What WAS excellent though was the chicken molé poblano. I would have liked a bit more rice, but maybe because they are so generous with the delicious malty brown Oaxacan style chili pepper and Mexican chocolate sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly tender. My girlfriend's chicken fajita was very well done also. Service is good. We will be back.

Secondly, there were only a few people in the restaurant. The food itself was quite expensive compared to the overall experience, easily comparable to most establishments in Manhattan. Even though I really liked the ambiance with music and spaciousness, it felt strange spending about $100 for a dinner of two people. I did like the indoor decor and felt like the restaurant had a ton of potential but I just wasn't prepared for the sticker shock and lack of menu depth.
