    I read a snooty (and hilarious) review about how awful this place was on TripAdvisor. I don't know…read morewhy that made me want to try this place more - to prove her wrong?? She just seemed out of control. And how bad could it be?? Oh man, it was baaaaad. We're on day 9 of our trip and it has been the only place that had a wait to be seated and worse, it was the most expensive. Their chili-lime margaritas are super tasty but they are so tiny that they should cost half of what they're charging. The chips are $7 and hard as rocks, I had to keep checking to see if I chipped a tooth. I know, why did I keep eating it then?? Our food was going to take close to an hour and I can't stop if there's chips in front of me dang it. The Guac was good but small for the price. I ordered the chicken burrito bowl which was mostly hard rice and just a tiny amount of chicken. Maybe 2 ounces? My husband got the paella and said it was ok but still the worst Mexican food he'd ever had. It was also a treat to hear everyone pronounce it pie-Ella. Not to rag on them, the staff was super friendly and attentive!! I'd come for the margaritas on happy hour but unless they completely change their recipes, I'd spend my money and time elsewhere.

    The effort they have put into the restaurant in terms of service and decor is commendable. HOWEVER,…read morethe food is extremely bland. The drinks are underwhelming and the dishes are underseasoned. It's too bad because the staff were really friendly and attentive. Maybe they are catering to the tastes of the region but I think they can afford to get a little bolder and add authenticity to the offerings.
