I really wanted to like this restaurant. It is only a couple blocks from my house and it seemed like a refreshing addition to the neighborhood. I first visited when they first opened with my boyfriend and we had a really nice time. They had an excellent drink selection and the food was both superb in its presentation and flavors. The service on our first visit was almost too attentive as it seemed they were over-staffed but everybody was very friendly and informative. It is unfortunate that my second visit was such a disappointment. I came with my family visiting from out of town and I thought this would be the perfect spot to bring them... I could not have been more wrong! We came during a weekday (perhaps weekends are better) we stood at the door looking around for someone to seat us (over a minute), finally a guy got up from the bar and greeted us. Although he seemed enthusiastic about the drink menu he came across more as a pushy salesman trying to get my non-drinking parents to order ""flights of tequila"". We were then greeted by a very corporate-like waitresstron who while she seemed knowledgeable about the menu left us feeling like cogs in her corporate spiel. We had the guacamole which was as good as I had had the first time but my father wanted chips and we were disappointed that we were only given a few! My mother ordered the soup which was bland and watered down while my sister had the house salad that consisted of a couple leaves of lettuce with no hint of flavor from the dressing. The entrees were inconsistent the tamales were excellent but the taco entree had a messy presentation and lacked in any savory aspect. While our waitress did the basic checkin to see how we were doing it really seemed as though she was going through the motions . I have to say though that she had several tables and may not have had the time to spend with us as she would have liked. I hope they get more consistent with staff and food but for now I'd say stay away.
Pros: nice bar
Cons: inconsistent service and food
