reposado

on another trek to palo alto when i decided to meet my husband for dinner, we played it a bit more casual and not plan ahead. his boss recommended several places in the area, and we finally decided we should try resposado. i always love trying new places, and i love mexican flavors, so it seemed like an ideal choice. it was also incredibly popular, and we didn’t manage to get a seat until a bit later in the evening, but that could be agreatsign, right?

reposado was agreatexperience. the food takes a modern approach to authentic yucatán flavors. the layout of the restaurant is open and lends itself to become a little noisy, but i thought that was part of the fun we had. it creates a very festive ambiance. service was good as well. there were times we waited to order the next round of drinks, but everything came out fairly quick.

i ordered the crepas de mariscos and really enjoyed them. the blue corn crepes were wrapped around an abundant amount of shrimp, snapper, and crab meat filling and covered with a creamy poblano sauce. super tasty! the rice hadgreatflavor and texture, especially with the fresh corn the mixed in. spicy margarita was delicious. i though the prices were a little high, but didn't feel disappointed because the food was excellent. already planning my next trip back.

overall i like reposado and have been there a number of times since it opened.greatatmosphere, margaritas, chips & salsa, and guac. in general i like the food; however, on last two visits i had the clado de mariscos and the hamachi. although i had both dishes in the past and enjoyed, they had a strong fishy taste on my recent trips (i couldn't eat the hamachi after the first bite). this left me questioning the freshness of the seafood. i'll be back, but plan to stay away from the seafood going forward.

nice looking restaurant andgreatservice. i'm sure the bar isgreatas well. however i found the food to be good but lacking in authenticity and definitely did not justify the price.
