Gastro was intrigued by the first review and website, so I had to see what all the fuss was about. Once embodied by Ambra in a former life... Bone Garden rises from the ashes like the Day of the Dead. Sugar Skulls of all sizes fill the room with calming paranormal energy and full sets of Teeth. Some of the artwork are done by the owner, Michael, which are amazing and has that kitsch factor. The grub is very fresh and tasty, decent beer selection and tons of margaritas.
Chips and Salsa- Standard issue Lord's chips and better than average salsa. Filler to me but always a nino pleaser.
Ceviche- Hi Hi... Mahi Mahi!!! Fresh ingredients and just darn tasty and refreshing... after all, no one likes smelly old fish in their mouth, especially on their Teeth.
Pozole Blanco - Tons of shredded chix and soft Toothy hominy. The broth needed a little more flavor and depth... then it would give me the warm and fuzzy feeling I was expecting.
Empanada Pollo- Light and crispy, you just can't eat one... this will definitely contribute to my obesity and baldness. The guajillo peanut salsa needed a kick... ancho chile would be nice, por fav.
Taco Al Pastor- I prefer pulled vs. cubed pork... but the flavor and double ply of corn tortillas made up for it. No filler except a little shredded cabbage which was easily taken off and recycled for rabbit food.
Tamales- This was one big hunk of masa and pork goodness. It was a gift from the Dios. The tomatillo sauce was lacking a bit... but doesn't it always? Hey, It ain't easy being green.
Brisket Enchilada - Tender shredded cow meat wrapped inside a tortilla with tomatillo sauce and taco bell dog cheez. Yum. They left out sour cream.
Pollo En Mole- Dark meat chicken blanketed in red mole sauce with rice. Very tender and mole was just right. They left out the corn tortillas.
The menu is extensive and will take a few visits to create a personal tasty combination of dishes... but it wouldn't be too difficult with this fun and tasty menu. Just put a little work on the salsas and sauces... I just want a little more spice/heat to it, is that soooooooo wrong?!
Their biggest problem is leaving out components of the dish listed on the menu... double check every single dish that goes, it's cooking 101. Is the grub as good as the Mexi-joints on Buford Hwy? No, but the short drive to this kitschy and playful joint makes it all bueno.
Dat's Nachooo Cheez! ERUCTO!
