This has all the makings of a great place. It is located next door to a trendy bar, on a main drag that's busy all the time, BUT......it lacks all the details that could ensure the success that it should have.
Every time I have eaten there, they are out of some very basic needs, i.e., coke or bacon at brunch! (a few examples) The flowers on the tables are all half dead and the water in the vases is murky, they serve coffee and no spoon, each dish comes out separately - often by the time it does, your is ice cold The wait staff try very hard to deal with all these issues but they seem to be part to blame, not their own doing, they just don't seem experienced.
The food, if you order the right dish, on a whole is good. Nothing extraordinary - but on the better side of good. It's expensive though. I say this because we all know what the cost of Mexican food is and if i am going to spend this kind of money on it - it had better be something better than good. Go to Nuevo Mexicano - up the block - a much better deal!
Kid friendly - yes they are - and have a menu especially for them, even if it's over priced.
