Good, but disappointing

by mrshomer3

I went to this restaurant specifically because of the executive chef, Aaron Sanchez. I have seen him judge other chefs on a Food Network show. Based on how he judges, I was expecting exceptional food. It was so-so. The squash blossom appetizer, which was suppposed to be fried, was soggy and bland. The homemade guacamole was excellent and had a bit of a kick to it. We were not offered an option of having the guacamole mild. The scallops appetizer was great and the mint verde salsa made me want to lick the plate. That being said, my friend ordered a lovely-sounding asparagus salad for an appetizer, but there was no asparagus in the salad. The chicken with mole sauce was good and tasted almost homemade. The pepita crusted salmon was overcooked and a bit on the dry side. Overall, it was a bit of a let-down, but I am willing to give it another shot for lunch.

• Pros: Nice open space, good service
• Cons: Food missing from plates, bland appetizer

Delicious Guacamole

by mimic47

Went on a friday night, had no problem being seated right away. We decided to just get appetizers and we were really pleased. The guac was awesome and so were the mini enchiladas and plantains. The fried green tomatoes were the best. We'll definitely be going back to do the same thing all over again.

• Pros: Great tapas
• Cons: none
