Joi’s 3-star review:
The most important thing you need to know: if at all possible sit outside at one of the tables that overlook the Riverwalk. Unless you hate pigeons.
I'd brave scores of pigeons to do so, though. The inside of this place is just... this is going to sound insane but it reminds me of ice rink cafeterias (I spent a lot of time in these in the 80s. My brother played hockey. Don't judge) - at least the dining area. The bar area is has a bit more Mexican flair but, seriously, outside is where it's at.
And glorious it is! My boyfriend and I were walking the path below when we looked up and spied what appeared to be the perfect scenario looming up, up and above the mini cliff. It was 5pm, over 100 degrees and frozen margaritas were calling our name.
Upon sitting down, we were presented with quite the HH menu, which included those frozen margies. I'm not usually one for fruit margaritas, but I tried the raspberry first, found it AOK but then moved on to plain, with salt, which was even better. Chips and salsa are surprisingly meh - mucho salt needed on the chips and the salsa was strangely bland yet spicy, but their guac is on point!
At first we were the only ones on the patio, but then a lot of Mexican families showed up, which made me of course think that the food is probably better than it looks/sounds, judging from what appears to be a very basic menu and the pale color palate as revealed by the biz pics. We had dinner plans much later and the menu really didn't make me wish otherwise, I gotta be honest.
And then came the pigeons. It was comical, because some older dude, who I presume was the manager, kept coming out with a wet towel to fling at them, which really didn't do much at all. Really, what are you gonna do? I was fine with dining avec pigeons, but be warned, these were some grabby birds. I think I spied an actual human fighting with one of them over a tortilla, but that could have been the influence of the second margarita.
