The restaurant was very comfortable and had a nice, festive atmosphere. The menu had much to offer, though I didn’t want a real heavy meal it being so late for dinner. I wound up ordering from the starter menu. The Short Rib Flautas just sounded too good and was a nice size. Phil ordered 4 of the Tahoe Tacos Especiales (two carne asada, two chicken tinga). He also ordered a side of rice and black beans. To complete my meal, of course, being a Mexican restaurant, I had to test how well they made margaritas!
I can report that the margarita was rather potent. It initially had a very sweet taste, then it hits you with the tang, then the aftertaste reminded me a little of coconut (but not in a bad way). The flautas were very well done, too. The short rib meat was mixed with jack cheese and poblano peppers. They were crisp, and juicy when you bit into them. It was just enough food to sate my hunger. Phil reported that he enjoyed the carne asada tacos, and the chicken tinga were good, but not as good as the carne. The rice and beans, however, were less than thrilling, specifically the beans. I tasted them too – extremely bland. The rice was okay, but it didn’t wow me.
Overall, if you’re looking for a good, filling meal and enjoy Mexican, I can recommend them. They also have drink specials during the week, so we may be going back to check it out.
And on one final note, let me share a disclaimer they had on the children’s menu – it was quite amusing:
