"I initially wanted to order the pork tamal, but I found out they were out of pork, so I opted for an Al Pastor taco instead. They didn't ask my preference and assumed I wanted the crunchy taco rather than the soft, authentic kind. Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing because I really enjoy Al Pastor.
I had ordered a michelada, but it never arrived before I finished my meal. I ended up canceling it and simply ordered a cup of water before leaving. As for the service, on a Thursday evening, it was puzzling how slow it felt. I was visiting for work and noticed that the restaurant was about 45 minutes from closing. I had to wait a while to be seated, and it took about 15-20 minutes for my order to be taken. This might explain why some of the food felt a bit lukewarm.
While I was eating, other diners were also waiting to pay their bills. I even saw a couple debating whether to go to the ATM and just leave cash at the front desk since they had been waiting for a while. The ambiance was what you'd expect from a typical Mexican restaurant, which was nice.
The main issue seemed to be that the place was running with just one person managing everything. I watched as this individual juggled tasks, moving between the bar, the dining area, and outside to attend to everyone. He was the host, busboy, waiter, and bartender all in one – I wouldn’t be surprised if he was also the cook! He was clearly overwhelmed but handled the situation admirably, apologizing to everyone for the delays. I felt for him and could see his frustration, but he managed to maintain his composure. He definitely deserves a raise for his hard work! Overall, I give this place 3 stars."
