Our waitress gave us some chips and salsa. It was fine, salsa was a little peppery (not necessarily spicy, but a good bit of black pepper). Since it was Good Friday we ordered seafood dishes. My mom ordered the shrimp taco salad and I ordered some shrimp tacos. When my mom ordered the waitress asked what kind of dressing she wanted, but when she brought it out she didn't tell my mom they already put a dressing on the salad. So the other dressing wasn't needed. My shrimp tacos were okay but needed a sauce to go on them. I asked the waitress and she said she could bring me one of the sauces they had, but that it'd be 50 cent. I still decided to get it and it added some flavor/moisture to the tacos. This place has some cute photo worthy areas. I've attached pics of 2 of them, but there's also a swing to take a pic by. When I went inside to take a pic of the chair with the tequila made me do it sign, there was a good bit of fruit flies around there which was aggravating as I had to keep trying to swat them away as I took the picture.

The staff were extremely friendly and the place was clean and they had a spacious dining area but…read morethe food I ordered, and looking at what others ordered, the food is extremely lacking! The cup of soup had tortilla strips that were extremely too large for the tiny soup and they were rubbery and extremely salty. It just felt like I was eating soggy chips and not a proper tortilla soup. I'm glad I didn't order the bowl. The queso was also very salty. By looking at others food it was very generic food and, yes I'm Mexican and therefore bias, but even allowing for the fact that we're not in Mexico and giving some type of grace, nothing appeared Mexican! I'm sad they sell this and market it as a Mexican restaurant as the food was not even remotely close to Mexican flavors. They need to look up basic tortilla soup online and try again. I'm disappointed and will not be coming back. Please check your recipes and at least get closer to Mexican flavors. I understand there are a variety of Mexican flavors but this completely missed the mark. I do not recommend it if you're looking for real Mexican flavors or flavors that are remotely close to Mexican flavors. Look elsewhere.

Hubs had the house recommended burrito and said it was good. Our friend had a combo, enjoyed part then and took the rest home. I went with the stuffed poblanos with chicken. Note that when you add meet to these it is put on top, makes sense if the poblanos are prepped early. I'm not sure it needs the breading but things seem to get breaded in NOLA. It was also oddly salty in some spots, almost like someone had poured instead of sprinkled. It was a good option after a day of Mardi Gras fun, especially given wait times at other places closer in (we were told 1.5 to 2 hours for good at Buffa's and Port of Call had closed at 6 so we headed out a little at our friends suggestions.

After finally finding a place to park we were told that it would be a 15-20 minute wait. We went to the bar to get a drink while waiting. We didn't even get a chance to order a drink because a table was ready that quickly. We didn't order an appetizer we just went straight to the meal. My wife ordered the fish taco dinner with corn tacos and I had the ground meat tacos with flour tortillas.Well, to make a long story short, the tacos were a big disappointment. My wife said the seasoning on the grilled fish tacos was nonexistent. Whenever we order tacos she usually gets the grilled fish taco's and she said these just weren't up to snuff. As far as my tacos they were pretty bad. They were greasy and gummy, a bad combination. I don't know if it was my fault that I didn't specify corn tortillas but I thought tacos were with corn tortillas unless you asked for flour tortillas. Anyway, I couldn't even finish mine..My wife washed hers down with a beer as did I. The service was great and there's a magician who goes around the tables doing magic tricks while you're waiting for your food. We loved him. It was almost worth going just to see him. For dessert my wife ordered the flan and I the 3 milk cake. Liked the cake a lot and the flan was okay. The restaurant was recommended so highly that we'll give them another try.

Hate the plastic glasses, but at least get the drink cold. COLD. An on-the-rocks margarita is not supposed to be lukewarm. This was. I strained into my water glass and added ice, let it cool, and poured it back in the margarita glass. There were three of us and two of our three orders came out wrong (one specifically asked for NO cheese and it was covered in it). Mine was a "Caesar" in menu name only. A Caesar is a RECIPE. Imagine ordering chicken cordon bleu and getting pork, bacon and cheddar. Or a BLT and getting salami, avocado, and bell peppers. That's what it is like when you order a Caesar and it's not a Caesar. It was that far off of what a Caesar is. Call it an El Patron Chef Salad. Call it a House Salad. But a Caesar doesn't have avocado, tortilla strips (???), red onions and tomatoes. What it does have? Dressing. This one did not and was room temperature. Even with the dressing (which obviously isn't homemade but was serviceable) still not a Caesar. Caesars in good restaurants are on a chilled plate but that's minor (this was frankly out-of-the-dishwasher warm) compared to it NOT BEING a Caesar. Wasn't very busy (we were in the big room with all the slices of trees on the wall) had about five tables and 15-17 people total? Service was pretty slow. The server was very nice, but the fact that I'm having to tell the server that a Caesar is supposed to have Caesar dressing (which they do carry. The kitchen just hadn't put it on anywhere on the salad.) speaks to a lack of training. Salsa was average, but not exceptional. Overall, completely middle of the road. I'm Coloradan and I'm used to amazing Mexican food and this was below average. Hence the three stars. If Yelp had a 1-10 scale it would get a 3 or 4.
