    Seated 20 minutes after reservation time. Mole chicken was so small I was surprised - I’ve seen party wings - but a party wing sized breast and thigh and leg too? It was very hot also - not sure AC was working appropriately. Waitress was nice and attentive.

    We dined at this facility (National Harbor, MD) for our anniversary on 06/01/2024 and the experience was so bad that we will never be back and will tell everyone we know to avoid this establishment. The temp of the dining area was beyond hot. Aside from the chips, salsa and the table side guacamole, the food was horrible. My enchilada plate was a very small portion, not hot and mediocre, at best. My wife could not eat her chile relleno as she couldn’t decide if the recipe used vinegar or if the meat was rancid. Our server did remove the chile relleno from our check as my wife barely ate any. The Mexican rice tasted like it was out of a box, was still crunchy and neither of us ate ours. I ordered frejoles borachos and I can say that they were the worst I’ve ever had. They were mashed which is not how they are to be made and they tasted like black licorice. I tried 2 bites and couldn’t stomach the rest. This was quite possibly the worst meal I’ve ever tried to eat. What a shame considering the price!

    I was very disappointed with my food, Mexican Fried Rice with shrimp and my cocktail. The dish was not very favorful and the cocktail was served in a small cocktail glass with very little alcohol. I feel the meal was very overpriced. I would not return again.

    The food was great but on the pricey side. The restaurant either had a broken air conditioner or willfully turned it off. It was so disgustingly hot inside. We would have stayed for another drink but it was so uncomfortably hot.
