During my adult life I have spent a lot of time in Mexico, many vacations, and I have eaten plenty of Mexican food. Though it’s not my favorite cuisine, I can eat it.
What can I say about this place? We walked in, stood around, no one said anything, walked over to a table and prepared to get comfortable, then someone showed up. Eventually we got a seat. The place felt loud and disorganized, and with the exception of the fajitas, the food was not very appealing or pleasing to the taste.
The goat cheese quesadillas were a sloppy, slimy mess — runny, oily, and just not enjoyable. Even as I write this I feel uneasy thinking about it. While I am not a fan of Mexican food in general, this was particularly disappointing.
I am not a fan of guacamole or sour cream, and most dishes tend to be garnished heavily with these items. To be honest, I did not even realize this place was Mexican until it was already too late. You can always walk out, but I did not want to be rude, so I decided to give them a chance. I asked that they put the creams on the side, but somehow they still ended up on my food. Frustrating.
As mentioned, the fajita was decent. I had rice, tomato, beef, and peppers in the wrap, and that was acceptable. Much better than the other dishes we were served. The avocado fries, however, we did not even try. My drink was fine; I had a Stoli and pineapple.
At the end of the night, the bill came to over $100 between my friend and me. That seemed quite high for one order of quesadillas, avocado fries that went uneaten, one prix fixe order of fajitas, a sangria, and a Stoli.
After reviewing the bill, I noticed charges for a Grey Goose, a Bacardi, and a few other drinks I did not order. I brought it to their attention, my friend took a picture of the bill, and we addressed it. Turns out they had accidentally included about $30 worth of someone else’s drinks. They corrected it, but it was a concerning oversight.
In case you have not figured it out by now, I probably will not be returning. The downstairs area has a club space, and while waiting for the restroom, I noticed some tension near the entrance involving staff and patrons. Nothing too significant, just a bit of a misunderstanding that was actually somewhat amusing in hindsight.
Overall, this place will not be getting my business again.
