Perro Salado

We went on a Wednesday so all the madness was odd. We made a reservation for 7, they asked us to come back at 8. Then we waited until almost 8:30 because the people at our table wouldn't leave. The hostess was very communicative about the wait. We ordered 2 plates of tortilla chips but they ran out, so we were only able to receive one of the house made chips(they gave us some additional gluten free ones that weren't made at the restaurant that were just like ones you buy at the super market). Our service was fairly sporadic and slow, possibly due to staffing shortages. Our actual food was delicious, though my burrito bowl came on a plate, not in a bowl or tortilla fried bowl like I've had in other restaurants. Our waitstaff declined to split our check. Ambiance on the porch/deck was very cute, with nice fairy lights giving off warm but adequate light to eat by. Maybe I'll do take out next time.

The menu is not extensive; not much here for vegan/gluten-free dining. My asparagus and mushroom tacos were somewhat bland, and the side of black beans was soupy. My daughter's veggie enchiladas were good, and the server was friendly. The location and decor are very nice. They do add a 1% fee to all checks for kitchen staff, something I haven't encountered before. May be worth a try if you're a Mexican food fan.
