i live close to this restaurant and eat here often, but i was appalled at my experience last night. we were initially told the wait would be an hour to an hour and a half for our 9 person party. naturally, we waited at bar to have some drinks. we had been waiting for about 15 mins when we noticed that there was an empty table for our size group. however, we were not seated and continued to wait. after another 20 mins or so, one the members of my party began speaking to the waitress in spanish and asked her whether we could have that table. she turned to another waiter and said ""he's mexican"" and we were instantly seated!!!!! had we not spoke spanish, i assume we would have waited MUCH longer. of all the times my boyfriend and i eat here, we have gotten BAD to almost horrible service. the wait staff does not seem to care much for the patrons, and they are usually rude, apparently, unless you speak spanish. i now understand the reason we always had horrible service. as bad as the service is, i will go back here because i do love the food. i am a big fan of authentic mexican food, and this is top quality. i have never tasted a bad dish. my boyfriend likes the chicken mole, the burritos are amazing, the tostada salads are good, the rice and beans are excellent. we try to go on low-key nights or during the day on weekends, but plan on AT LEAST a 15-20 min wait no matter what time or day of the week you go.
Pros: authentic food, ambiance
Cons: wait time, service, rude waiters, sometimes they don't let you wait at the bar, no parking lot, they don't take reservations
