    Mesas extremadamente juntas, estás literalmente pegado al comensal de la mesa de al lado, de hecho para entrar a la mesa la juntan a la de al lado, muy incómodo, cada vez que pasa el camarero golpea la silla dónde estás sentado, con sus piernas, porque no hay espacio. La maitre muy maleducada, después de 50 minutos de reloj, nos pidió que nos levantemos de la mesa a nosotros y a la mesa de al lado que llevaba mucho más tiempo que nosotros, porque había mesas esperando. Si no pueden asumir tantos clientes, que no hagan tantas reservas para después echar a los clientes que ya han consumido. La comida recomendada por la camarera, absolutamente insípida y seca, pedimos todos los tipos de tacos que tenían y ni uno solo, nos gustó. Comimos en el Chelsea market en otro mejicano, el doble mejor y a mitad de precio. Por tanto mala relación calidad precio. Tardaron en servir la bebida, casi habíamos terminado cuando sirvieron la cerveza que pedí y no la había terminado y ya nos estaban levantando de la mesa. Una vergüenza de lugar. Una decepción total, sitio abarrotado incómodo, mala comida y mala educación por hacernos levantar de la mesa
