After reading the mixed reviews here, I was reluctant to go the first time. However, our food was perfect - everything from flavor/spices to presentation. I could really relate to the review with yummy description of the food in the Examiner (http://sfexaminer.com/articles/2005/12/14/eats/20051214_ea01_tres.txt). There was nothing missing in our service. The place is noisy, yes, but no more, perhaps less, than the Slanted Door at the Ferry Building, if you want to talk about noise. The ambiance overall is nothing to rave about. The long-n-short is that we'll be back. The chilli rellenos were the most delicious and unique I've had. And my mouth waters thinking about the tacos. As far as people with complaints about the food - maybe there's some inconsistency in the kitchen. However, I recommend giving it a try on the chance that you'll have the same food and service experience that we had.
Pros: food
