thefoodis just not very good. i've been here 4 times, and each time was pretty excited about trying something new on the menu. despite my inherent problem with charging for chips and salsa (wtf?) i've kept coming back, but after last night's dinner i just give up.
first, thefoodis not fresh. the meat, veggies, and toppings are all from sysco, or so it seems. the menu sounds exciting, but it's interesting-sounding combinations come out more like a combination of everything on your plate at a cheap chinese buffet than a mix of fresh things in an innovative kitchen. everything tastes like preservatives. i hate to say it, but even moe's makes a better burrito.
second, the drinks are mostly pre-packaged syrup with a shot in them. nothing gets made freshly here.
the service has never been bad. the ambiance is neat, if a bit forced. but the kitchen and bar need serious help.
and for god's sake, stop charging for chips and salsa.
