beautiful decor & great food. mexican sugar has an instant appeal as you walk up. it's a nice patio with sleek but rustic decor. inside the waiting area has cool hanging rope tables with round seat cushions. the restaurant itself can be broken up into three room decors. there's the lounge area with large tables and wingback chairs. there's the middle area with bar tables and cow hides on the floor. then in the back is a brick lofted ceiling with red candles and wine bottles. it's all beautiful.
the food is just as good as the looks of the place. this is not tex-mex, so don't look for it. the arepa is to die for. the toasted corncakehas a pulled beef and crema slaw on it with wonderful cheese bits and spices. each bite is a savory delight. the chicken a la brasas was moist and full of flavor. so was the corn dish paired with the chicken. for desert we had the pumpkin flan. the homemade whip cream and caramel were a fine finish to a wonderful meal.
word of caution. the wait is very long. if the place is packed, the noise level is deafening. you cannot hear and that's not exaggerating. the server had to repeat her self and all but get in our ear to talk.
speaking of service, ours rocked, but the rest of the place acts like a restaurant that just opened. it has tons of mistakes and bad service. the host station is overwhelmed. the bar is slow and none-responsive.
my recommendation, come enjoy the splendor of this place in off odd hours. you will like this place and the food.
