3 /5 Lilleira Duncan: I had high expectations after hearing so many positive things about this restaurant chain, but my visit was unfortunately disappointing.
The good: the chips and salsa were excellent, the marsh view was beautiful, and our waiter delivered outstanding service — friendly, attentive, and professional.
The bad: the food did not live up to the reputation. The Tamarindo drink was extremely diluted — more like sweetened brown water than a real tamarind beverage. My husband and I tried both types of enchiladas (green and red), and neither impressed. The refried beans had an off, almost seafood-like flavor, and the enchiladas were simply rolled tortillas with sauce on top — not fried, baked, or broiled as true enchiladas should be (have several Mexican friends)
It’s disappointing, because the place itself has a great atmosphere and could be perfect for gatherings, such as our upcoming Bday celebration; but the food quality doesn’t match the setting or service. Maybe it was an off day, but I wouldn’t return unless I get invited without another choice.
