Overpriced, Overhyped, and a Ripoff. Not to mention Dangerous!
First off, their portion sizes are tiny compared to pretty much every Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. They serve your plates on shitty little one use plates that are small, limiting how much you get. It seriously felt like we should have gotten twice each serving for the price. The cooking area also did not look well maintained, clean, or to code.
And then practically every plate only has rice or beans, but not both, forcing you to overpay for the other if you want it as well, which most people do. So that's just a ripoff.
My wife ordered their lamb plate, and she BIT INTO A BONE IN HER TACO. Like what the hell, why would their be a bone in the taco. She almost and could have easily chipped her tooth. We told the staff and they gave us a piece of carrot cake, which was a nice gesture, but totally did not make up for the unsafe food they served us. The plate also only came with rice, but no beans.
The chilaquiles were too fresh--table-salsa tasting and had no boldness or spiciness. They were rather bland. They also only came with beans, but no rice.
The chips with guacamole was a ripoff as well, as the amounts were tiny. Heard about this place on reddit and it was a huge disappointment. Not going back.
No customer service if I have to go back to a Mexican restaurant no this one 😒 the consome was cold as the customer service. From 1 to 10 meat 6 very dry

Little hidden restaurant, so cute inside.
I enjoyed the patio setting with my husband and son. The food was delicious and I was stuffed! I especially enjoyed the guacamole with chips ( extra $)! We ordered 2 of them.
My husband got the Lamb plate for $12.99. I got my favorite combo of chicken and cheese enchilada with beans and rice. My son ordered the Lamb burrito.
I was very happy, satisfied and couldn't finish it all.
Street parking only.
