I had the fish tacos. They were pretty yummy and looked great but they were also $16. Everyone knows I have no problem spending money on food, but expensive Mexican food labeled as "street fare" seems like a contradiction to me.
The guacamole was good for me because it was not spicy, I think (e:terry) and (e:Heidi) felt different about the spiciness. They make it right ay the table which is pretty fun to watch and then server it in a stone pot.
In general there were a whole lot of tasting soubding items on thr menu that I would try and would try it again.
I bet its going to be hard for then to compete with the new Mexican restaurant being opened by the seabar folks at Allen and Elmwood.
I want those star-shaped lamps.
I'm glad you had a good time. From everyone I have heard who has went to it since it went on elmwwod they said it was horrible, the staff was rude, the food was messed up and not that good, and it was expensive for how not good it was. And a lot of complaints about the horrible service and waiting like an hour to get even their drinks let alone their food. I guess it must be improving
I do want to try that place that isn't open yet on Allen never made it when it was steal crazy...Heard it moved out to the Galleria but not there very often so I don't know..... Trying to think of the last sit down Mexican place I went to eL carlo or something like that they got shut down Illegals pretending to be Mexicans I think was the problem.... My Point is what is it like to eat in kinda a fancy Mexican place? To me sounds kinda at odds I do miss Chi Chi's though that was the place to go.....
We went to the Elmwood location a couple of weeks ago with (e:leetee) "s mom. Everything we ordered was screwed up in some way. I got a pork taco special and everything was at room temperature and the rice was underdone. (e:leettee) got a mahi mahi tostada. it was cold. And my mom in law got the peruvian hen. It was hot but everything else on the plate with it was cold. They comped two entrees.
The decor is nice. And it is noisy. Hopefully, with time, the kitchen will get better at getting food while it is still hot. We enjoyed eating at the Walker Center location.
The mojito was awesome. The food wasn't spicy enough even though we had asked for the guac to be spicy. The decor was beautiful and the chairs were comfy, although the space was rather noisy.
