"This restaurant had good vibes overall but was more of a Mexican inspired restaurant than Mexican which was disappointing to discover. The tables were tight together as well. The waiters were nice but didn’t explain that there was self serve water, hot sauce, and condiments.
The drinks are not made by a bartender other than shaken. They have an auto pour machine that measures everything out. I had the pineapple margarita and it was not very sweet almost sour.
We ordered the Chips and guacamole which wasn’t bad on flavor but had a misleading title to it. I would say it was more a chips and dip because you got 3 dips with it all with the same amount versus having more guacamole. The guacamole was also interesting it had the browning color to it and as it sat there it slowly started like separating almost like there was oil mixed in with it.
The enchiladas I would say were definitely more of a play on enchiladas vs actual enchiladas. It was a taco covered in salsa and melted cheese. The flavor was good but not exactly enchiladas.
The macho bowl was overall really good. Only thing is that the rice felt precooked like from a package. Also was surprised that there were 2 different types of chicken in it one was like shredded and then there was fried chicken. Which the description just said chicken."
