We waited thirty minutes on reservation to eat at the bar -- guess this was a hot ticket.
Loaded nachos for the table -- overpriced and not great to share.
Quesadilla -- good sauce. as good as a beijing quesadilla gets, i suppose. a safe bet.
Korean pork burrito -- biggest problems with this place come to the fore here: the tortillas don't taste hand made (in fact, they have a chalky texture). the burrito was also poorly assembled (my friend actually cut himself on the tinfoil as well, but I think that may have just been his fault). The pork was also a bit dry. No mole, siracha (even though they explicitly told us so), or salsa verde. I could get more options and a cheaper better burrito at 3 in the morning in the sketchiest hole of Highland Park.
All in all, a bit overpriced, a tough reservation (at time of writing), but unfortunately one of the best bets for mexican in Beijing. If this was Los Angeles, this would be a food truck that parked next to the CNN tower in the sky and never came back... but we take what we can get. still -- don't believe the hype.
3.5/5
