I read local Mexican reviews before choosing. The guacamole and chips were fresh and great and generous compared to Charlottesville stingy portions. The mushrooms were fresh and nicely sauteed, but had no herbs or spices per description. Another review said to get the chile poblano, not relleno, so I did. The portion was huge, and pretty good, but the sauce was a bit thin and could be tastier. I did takeout. The atmosphere is quite dark. I'll probably try another place before...
This review is based on one meal only, will be going back in the future. The dish I had was the Chori Camarones. Grilled shrimp topped with cheese sauce and Mexican sausage served with rice and beans and tortillas. The sauce was excellent. Would have like more chorizo, but it was very tasty. They have a varied menu, with the more expected dishes as well as some nice surprises. Reasonably priced, great service.
I waited a few days before writing this review. I'm sad to rate 3 stars. The chips were not good. I've had Mexican resto chips from Brownsville to North Dakota, and these were 1/5 stars. Still better than you can get in most store. But not good. Perhaps their fryer oil is old.
The salsa was ok. It's a cooked fresca salsa. There was some weird aftertaste and also I remember the consistency was odd. And I've had a lot of salsas. Spice level was good...
