"Service was not great. Food was very good. I had to ask to sit and ordered my food at the front after asking to sit, then was given my order to go after I answered saying it was here and on my receipt said it was for here. Very rude."

"So to start off our waiter was really nice and very attentive so that was good anyways the first thing I ordered was an horchata and honestly it was mid at best the only thing that was really holding it back was the fact that it was so watery I had no like creamy sort of like milky texture to it it just tasted like it had milk rice cinnamon and sugar but no condensed milk and lechera which is like one of the most important parts that give it that signature flavor but anyways after that I wanted something warm so I got un atole de cacahuate and that was pretty decent at first but then as I started to taste it more and more the flavor was getting stronger so it is pretty good and then for the actual food honestly the rice was so good I really liked it it had really good flavor I like the little vegetable pieces that it had in it and for the beans honestly the texture was pretty bad the beans were quite running instead of being more thick cuz that's how I normally refried beans are so they needed to let them cook a little longer so that they would get thicker and then for the actual pascala and honestly I thought it was going to be basically the same like regular mole but just green because that's what it says on the menu that it's green mole but anyways if it felt like very mushy instead of like a thick consistency that normally mole is oh so you can see in the image all the water on the side which can give you an idea of how liquidy this was also what was kind of weird is that it felt like if you Blended a bunch of vegetables together and then added water and put it over some boiled chicken and lastly the tortillas are realyy good they are nice and thin and also for the pascala it has like no flavor I was putting it on the tortilla with the beans and rice and I could literally taste the beans more than the actual sauce that's supposed to have more flavor and I also forgot to mention the beans had really good flavor as well just a texture messed them up"
