12 hours after eating here, I remain flabbergasted as to how this restaurant has 4.2 stars. My party and I arrived, excited for the menu and the comfortable atmosphere to have a late night bite in the city. Little did we know, the excitement would end there. We started with drinks- being told one item after another were out of stock to make the drinks, from alcohol to smoothie ingredients. Joke was on us when we finally did find things we could order, as the 2 alcoholic drinks were brought out more than 10 minutes before the smoothies were, so half of our table was served at a time. This ended up being a theme for the night as well. It took over 10 minutes for the first drinks, over 10 more for the second set, and even longer for our food. Appetizers came out at the same time as 2 of the meals, and then my own plate took another 10 minutes from there. So while my entire table could eat, I sat waiting for my food. By the time it came out, I just asked for it to be wrapped up so we could leave.All of this, and I haven 't even spoken about the quality yet. The steaks were not what they were supposed to be, nor were they cooked properly. The enchiladas were completely dry with nothing but bland chicken inside of the tortillas. The beans looked like something you 'd find in a war camp. And the rice was as bland as the rest. Mexican food is supposed to be full of flavor, and yet there was none to be found. And I won 't even get into the sugar water they dared call a smoothie .Overall, the cost was high for the extremely low quality. When my date talked to the waiter at the end of the dinner (if that 's what we 're calling this), he was told that it was the cook 's first night and he was overwhelmed. Perhaps a good owner would not allow a cook to fly solo on a Friday night, but even that does not excuse that the wait staff should know better than to bring everything out separately. Just an overall disastrous experience, to which we are only grateful that at the very least, none of us got sick from eating here.

Way too overpriced at $18.98 for a burrito and horchata. I got marinated pork in my burrito. It was way too salty and had the consistency of dog food. Kind staff but poor food. Would not recommend.

Very good food and good service. I had the tacos combo with everything which was more food than I could eat. My wife has a standard burrito with chicken which was 3.5 inches in diameter and 7 inches long. Huge! The tables are to close together however causing neighboring chairs to be bumping and grinding together quite a bit.
