200 tequilas can't save dry meat and boxed rice.

The Take

Skip the menu and head straight to the bar if any bottles remain. The food was never the point.

Grilled protein plates with extra veggies are the only defensible order. Everything else reads like standard cantina shortcuts from day one.

The bar program carried an otherwise generic upscale Mexican LARP. Once the kitchen shortcuts and closure hit, the place had nothing left.

Order the grilled protein plate with veggies and olive oil if they still answer the phone. Skip everything fried, sauced or rice-adjacent.

Anything fried or built on default sauces and rice.

No. Typical restaurant shortcuts on sourcing made the food mid at best.

No. Yelp lists it closed years ago.
