Came after work on a Monday and it was quiet. Was quickly seated and served the house chips with salsa. I found the salsa's to be on the watery side and lacking in flavor. Additionally, neither of the salsa's were too spicy. The black bean dip was thick but had a relatively good flavor. I ordered the port carnitas tacos. The taco shell tasted fresh and was good. The pork was on the dry side but had a good flavor. The garnishes were standard. The star of the tacos was the Salsa Verde. (I believe they called it something else). This had a good flavor and was actually a tad spicy. Even though it was the star by no means was it amazing. Additionally the rice and beans tasted off but I am not usually a fan of beans.

Overall the experience was good, but the food left me craving for a more authentic Mexican experience with more authentic flavors and more spice. I do not know if I will be back based on the lack of flavor. 1 star for good serivce and another for the salsa verde.
