mexican place with outdoor seating

by streetmaven1223

We went there to grab a bite to eat on Sat afternoon at 4, the place was pretty empty. Decor is average for a mexican place. I ordered the yucca chicken chipotle which was tasty. I liked the vegetable 'flan'. My friend ordered a dish with chicken marinated with some citrus, which turned out to be surprisingly 'mild' if not bland for mexican. The salsa was fresh and tasty they didnt ask if you wanted more water or chips or asked how the food was though. The choice of meats available were beef, chicken, and a few choices of shrimp dishes, the daily special was tilipa grilled or in fish tacos. Not especially noteworthy Mexican place, maybe nightlife will pick up at dark.

• Pros: Reasonable price, window watching
• Cons: Service lacking despite empty place, entrance on side street

HORRIBLE service! The food is pretty bland, and they charge for REFILLS on ICE TEA! Who the hell charges refills for ice tea? HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED.

Mediocre food but decent place to meet friends

by Burt_Reynolds

Everything is just OK. Service was barely good enough and didn't refill the water or the chips. The guac and margaritas were good, but the main courses had way too much cheese (and I love cheese). In fact, I struggled to find a non-cheese ingredients in some of the entrees. It almost reminded me if your college roommate made an enchilada for you, "Tomatos? Peppers? Dude, all you need is cheese. We don't even have that other stuff in our fridge." I don't know what the other reviewers were talking about but the salsa tasted like it came out of a can. The atmosphere was noisy but all in all a good place to go if you just want to grab some drinks and chips with some friends. If you want good Mexican food, then go elsewhere.

• Pros: drinks, atmosphere
• Cons: food just OK, service could be better
