Other than the guacamole and chips and the bowl of shrimp this was a disappointing meal. The solo taco was beyond small plate. Barely 3 bites and by the time it came the tortilla fell apart.\nOur server was poorly trained and multiple servers passed by our table and left dirty plates. We had to ask multiple times for just about everything. Our first dish came even before our drinks. The 5 workers holding court at the host stand seemed strange. We requested a quiet table at 5 pm in an empty room and the hosts kept seating guests right next to us even though there were so many open tables elsewhere. Spent $100 and left still hungry after ordering 5 dishes.
