Fast, friendly and personable staff. You do wait your own table, but it is worth the delicious homemade Mexican food. The Al pastor nachos are 10/10.
I ordered a burrito and soft drink, which came to $30 before tip $35 total after adding gratuity. While the food was acceptable, I don’t believe it justified the $30 price point. The service was mediocre at best, with no complimentary refills offered on soft drinks, and the burrito itself was noticeably smaller than what I’d expect for that price. For the same money, I can get a more generous portion at Chipotle just down the street, with free refills included. Given the combination of high prices, small portions, and lackluster service, I’ll be eating at corporate America owned Chipotle next time. The value proposition here simply doesn’t add up, especially when there are better options so readily available nearby.
We had a delicious burrito and chips and a margarita to share. All of it was great! The chips and the salsa of course are the star of the show. We officially like the pumpkin seed salsa. The burrito was the mole burrito, perhaps the one thing I would suggest for improvement is the amount of meat in there. The atmosphere of course is really beautiful.
In a nutshell; pricey but expected downtown type priced decent Mexican food The atmosphere of the establishment does indeed exude its namesake. There's a Salsa station on the side for your chips that's usually accompanied by your order or dish, but for the price, I was hoping the salsa station also has a chips station you can just grab chips alike to similar other establishments. The order looked and tasted good but I'd say doesn't really match the price, but it's to be expected as I'm sure it's expensive to upkeep any business stationed in a downtown setting. Overall neat place but I'll probably lean to trying the other establishments nearby.
Came here for lunch, and it's so good. AUTHENTIC-authentic, like it's REAL, honest, full flavor Mexican food. The salsa bar is absolutely wonderful, some of the best tomatillo salsa I've had. The pumpkin salsa was unexpectedly bomb. The ceviche is WONDERFUL and not ruined with mayonnaise. Service was great and fast. Filling and flavorful, will absolutely come back when we're in the area. Forget Chipotle, go get yourself some REAL Mexican food. Your taste buds will thank you.
