The service was very good—the waiter was very nice, attentive, and professional. The place was very nice, and the food was good. I would definitely have lunch there again.
Very quiet to eat and talk
Bad enchiladas
The worst experience we've had so far. The food was partially spoiled, and they refused to take responsibility.We ordered a "Chorizada" and two enchiladas. We started with the chorizada, a dish served with corn tortillas, but as we began to eat, we realized they were spoiled; they had a bad taste and smell, even when we touched them. We told the waiter, and he politely apologized and took the plate away so they could replace the tortillas... and they returned them with flour tortillas, which at least weren't damaged. Following this, the enchiladas arrived... made with the same tortillas, but this time ultra-salty, I imagine they were trying to cover up the bad taste. The waiter told us that the chef "wasn't paying attention to the kitchen and that's why he didn't notice," and that he "sends his apologies and promises that NEXT TIME he'd make it up to us" and that we wouldn't be charged for our drinks. Absurd for a bill that was about $30 for a two-enchilada dinner.
Excellent portion in their dishes and delicious. I found the service from the staff to be excellent.
