Ambience - from the exterior to the interior this shop has a great Hispanic vibe. The building looks like an old Spanish mission and the interior is brightly colored with lots of eccentric wall decor. They have a pretty decent patio and a very large dining room with thr bar in the middle. The overall atmosphere is very vibrant, welcoming and really nice
Menu - so first things first. This is a higher end Mexican food joint, so expect to pay a pretty penny for your meal. Most of the focus of the menu revolves around their fajitas, carne asada and seafood dishes. They do have other items like enchiladas and burrito but they are very limited on selection and variety. The main focus is the front of the menu that boasts a very nice variety of fajitas, seafood and so on. The selection of the each of those categories is pretty varied with lots of options. Like the fajitas for example you can add different items like sausage, bacon wrapped shrimp, lobster tail and so on. Their claim to fame is their fajitas and handmade tortillas. With options like filet migon fajita with lobster tail, then that's a pretty bold claim. Gotta say thou, they have a lot of variety and selection when it comes to fajitas. But it is going to cost you alot of skrilla. Anyways, the menu in my opinion is more focused of the specialty plates like chicken, seafood and so on. There isn't a big push for items like burritos, enchiladas and tacos.
Service - service here was pretty decent, nothing spectacular but it was pretty good. The host lady, who also looked like a manager, sat me at my table but looked kinda nervous or anxious. After being there for a while I think the reason for that was the place was really busy on a Monday at 3:00. So I think she was stressed since there was only 2 servers and people pouring in. My server was a pretty cool and calmed headed guy. He was super prompt and was pretty friendly. He was on point up until the very end. As soon as I had my food ge basically disappeared. Took me almost 10 - 15 minutes to get my check. There was even a point where some manager or kitchen manager was making rounds in the dining room. He stopped and asked how it was and as I was saying "yeah it was really good, can i get my check please?" He turned around and just left saying "awesome glad to hear." Do obviously he wasnt really listening because as soon as I got halfway thru my sentence he had already turned and walked away. Well that was annoying. Anyways overall the service was good but I know they were short staffed so I was trying to be understanding.
Food - well if you claim to have world class fajitas then I gotta put that claim to fame to the test. So I ordered the half pound beef fajitas (that cost $24! :( ouch ) The food came out like most places with all the fixins on the side and the meat on a hotter than hell iron plate. Presentation looked good and even the beef just looked amazing. As I bust out the tortilla I am shocked to see that this thing is freaking huge. It's a big tortilla. Alrighty then. I take a bite of meat first to see how good this beef really is. And I gotta say I was not disappointed. This beef was tender, moist and packed alot of spices and natural flavor. It was an explosion of spices and awesome dead cow goodness. I will admit that was some of the best beef fajita meat I have ever had. So I fix me up a fajita with all the guacamole, pick, rice, cheese and so on. The guacamole is pretty simple and the rice was pretty bland. But when they were all wrapped up together they made for a damn good fajita. Gotta say that their claim to fame ain't just some claim. That beef was packed with flavor and spices. At some points there was almost too much spice or seasoning and almost puckered my mouth and butthole. The only thing that kind of threw me off was how fast the food came out. I mean like, freaky unnaturally fast. I'm talking less than 5 minutes. So it makes me wonder if the reason it came out so fast, moist and tender is if maybe it is actually being stored in a broth in the steamtable. Very suspicious and intriguing....I'm on to you guys, l will be watching. Lol. This could also explain an almost overwhelming amount of "flavor". Marinating in a broth for hours then it is going to absorb alot. But anyways, my fajitas were pretty damn good
Overall - gotta say I really enjoyed my meal and their fajitas are a thing to be reckoned with. Menu is pretty solid and I liked what they had to offer. Only downside to my trip was the fact that near the end I was completely forgotten about, I literally had a guy look me in the face and then walk away from me while I was in mid sentence. It took forever for me to get my check. To have someone check on me and then halfway thru my sentence just tune me out and not listen to the last half of my sentence was upsetting. But that is just a small issue, still giving 4 stars because the good was great and the service was good( at least up to the end) read more
