My wife and I tried Huaco Lounge tonight. It was a date night, not a pre-game, so please forgive me in advance.
Overall, we were underwhelmed by a place we had heard several good things about. Starting off with drinks I had a frozen house Margarita, because they were out of grapefruit soda for a Paloma. I think I dodged a bullet because making them with grapefruit soda is a cheap way to do it. The margarita was good. I thought the portion was small, but I didn't feel cheated either. My wife had the Mexican Martini. It was very salty, and I say this as a person that doesn't mind salty drinks. The more she consumed the worse it got. She stopped half way through. I took a drink of it and it was way too salty.
We had shrimp cocktail, the Huaco trio dip appetizer, and shared an order of street tacos. The shrimp cocktail tasted like ketchup and orange juice with little else. The Huaco trio was good, even though the chips they gave us looked like it was the bottom of the bag. They were mostly small and broken. The street tacos were all bland. I mean very bland. We had chicken, carne asada, and Barbacoa tacos. All three were bland. The rice and beans were good though.
The one highlight is that our server was great. I hope this was just an off night for them, but we were both disappointed.
Well that's disappointing.
