Too much noise// acceptable food/ good service 5/2/2008

I was frankly surprised that reviewers have not mentioned in their discussions that this is clearly one of the most noise filled restaurants in the city. This is not caused by enthusiastic guests watching the local team on the the TV at the local sports bar, but is largely the results of the bad acoustics in the dining room, and also their margarita mixer that has the equivalent db.s that comes out of a jackhammer. I'm serious, never before have I ever noticed the sound of a margarita mixer getting so loud you couldn't hear the person across the table from you. And we were on the other side of the restaurant!! One reviewer described the place as "romantic." It might be if you are a lip reader, or want to express your love by way of exaggerated gestures like those seen in silent movies. The pollo mole is above average, but the balance of the selections are unimaginative offerings. Although, to the extent Mexican food can be, the selections are wholesome. On the plus side, the polite staff brings the dishes to the table when they are still piping hot. The prices are reasonable, and the margaritas have more tequila in them than you typically find at the Mexican restaurant chains that have proliferated all over the county in the last two decades. Having said all that, be mindful that you would have a much better dining experience at La Fuente, or Mijares. both are in the general area, so give them a try. Pros: low prices Cons: NOI more
