Just a traveler going through, my party and I stopped here after checking the reviews Food was great, the atmosphere was enjoyable. I am so happy we ate outside on the patio because it was so cramped inside. Our server seemed to be having a really busy night and didn't give us much attention, but the server from the other table was super friendly. We enjoyed the tables idea guacamole very much! Highly recommended. Biggest thing I noticed that could use some love - the highchairs for baby was dirty and gross. That is something I had to use my wipes to clean up before use.
Went in for drinks and snacks. Ambiance- good. They decorated for dios de los muertos. It was beautiful. Staff- we had very friendly server. Staff was wearing dios de los muertos tshirts and sweatshirt that gave a really cozy feel. Noise level- very Loud. Crowd- very crowded place. The table are very close together and I didnt see anyone walking between isles without bumping on someone’s stuff. Waitlist- we went during peak hours on friday night and we had to wait 20min this time. One time we were said that wait time is 50-60min and we decided to go somewhere else at that time. Drinks- i ordered margaritas and asked for less alcohol, she added only half alcohol and gave other half on the side. Chips and Salsa tasted store bought and nothing fancy out of it.
This was one of my first real Mexican restaurants. Design on walls and atmosphere is out of this world! I usually go with Marinated skirt steak with potatoes, guacamole, queso and onion, dish is called Arrachera Chalco, very tender steak, great combination with queso, potatoes and veggies, I'm in love with that dish! I also tried Beef short rib in chipotle sauce, great presentation, tender meat on a huge bone, mushrooms and spinach are well combined and sauce is amazing. Very traditional and great quality of food. Only issue I had was one of the servers was asking me for ID when I gave credit card and he didn't ask anyone around for it. I let it pass, but next time we got him as server again and he was even more arrogant, we would ask him about certain dishes with some spanish words on menu and he would explain it in a mean way, because we don't speak Spanish or I dont know what the reason was.. anyway Huge recommendations for this place! Food is outstanding.
