Nothing they have is worth the security pat down at the door.

They messed up my order. Fixed my incorrect drink but the food still came with avocado even though I told them I was allergic. Huge portions. After I removed the avocado, the ceviche was good. So-so experience overall.

For the most part, I enjoyed my experience here. The food was excellent, and the portions were huge. I ordered the spicy quail. Yup, quail. I found out first hand you can eat quail bones. It's safe (Uncle Google says so). Be prepared to chew. A lot. The quail was indeed spicy, and the accompaniments were tasty. The only miss was the rice. It was as cold as my salad. Boo. The guacamole tasted fresh, but it just needed a pinch of salt. The chips were warm, which was a nice touch. The service was lacking. Everything took a long time, even my water order. My server was too busy chit chatting with the other staff. Annoying. There was also a very, very loud door chime. It rang twice every time someone came and went. Did I mention it was loud? Don't sit by the door. I'd come back and hopefully the service will be better!
