Some friends and I went there last night for dinner. Luckily we had made reservations for 8 pm otherwise the wait would've been an hour and a half. At that time, the place was packed and really loud. I liked the communal table in the front, nice idea. I was a little miffed that they didn't have any Coronas, it was a souped up mexican restaurant granted, but whaddya know they had Heinekens. Interesting. Had to wait for about 20 minutes for our table to be ready and when we were seated, waitress and runner were able to bring our drinks and chips/salsa rather quickly and take our orders. Then we waited for about 45 minutes for our meals to actually arrive. WTF?! During that time the waitress kept piling us for drinks, maybe to get us to buy more drinks until the meal came or because the kitchen was backed up and keep our minds off of not having any food, I don't know but was very noticeable after 30 mins. The food was good, I had the hanger steak and friends had pork porterhouse, sauteed shrimp and a lamb dish. Nice and different flavors. But very expensive! Each dish was in the upper 20 dollar range. Not what you'd expect from a mexican restaurant and definitely not for the food we got even though it tasted good. Ok ok it's a ""gourmet"" mexican restaurant, I get it. Also, during our wait I noticed the lack of racial diversity. Mainly white which made me slightly racially claustrophobic. I think we were the only minorities in there. Hmmm, maybe that's why not too many other ethnicites, cuz we couldn't afford the food! Hahahaha. But I digress, and would like to summarize by saying that it was a mixed bag on my first trip. Good food, but getting the food was not so good
Pros: Tasty dishes...
Cons: Overpriced dishes, very loud, salsa tooo mild
