One of the reasons for stopping by was to try something from the $10 lunch menu. When I visited the last time, they had no lunch menu. Plenty of parking in this little strip mall.
The pleasant bar area with high tops next to the windows.
The nice and intimate dining room. One seriously significant improvement is that the tables are not sticky anymore. This was a big turn off. It wasn't a cleaning issue, it was the tables themselves.
My plan of trying something from the lunch menu went out the window when I was handed the specials menu, not available online. I couldn't resist the Ahi Tuna Tacos ($14). "cajun seared sushi-grade rare tuna, mango habanero aioli, cabbage, cilantro, avocado and sesame seeds served with choice of rice and black beans". They seem to have run out of capital letters and punctuation marks. I picked the Poblano Rice, and it was awful. There was either old dried out kernels or uncooked kernels, so it went back. On the second try, I got perfectly cooked rice. It still tastes very very faintly of poblano. The beans have improved and were really tasty. The tacos were served on fresh corn tortillas. The tuna was of excellent quality, and the aioli was delicious with a bit of a kick. The cabbage was crunchy, and it was plenty of avocados. This was really enjoyable. Of course the dreaded rolled up silverware again reared its ugly head. You want your leftovers? It's DIY, here's a box. Guess the waitress isn't looking for extra tips. BTW, the suggested tip on the bill was calculated correctly.
