   Second time here and was a little disappointed. We were promptly seated and got warm welcome from a nice host in a cool hat. Be warned the outdoor seating is in back of Pullman Market with a view of the parking lot. Fife & Farron has the premier patio in front. Weather was great. Server was nice but seemed indifferent and tired. She had a large table, then got another large party. Main problem was that the second large party (that came after us) ordered the same dishes as we did. Food runner gave them our food, except for my wife’s fish tacos. We sat there with only one plate of four for a long time before server explained what happened. They were apoplectic but didn’t try to do anything to make up for it. We didn’t ask for a comp or make a big fuss. The other table realized what happened and we all kinda joked about it. Still restaurant could have offered something to address their mistake. Food wasn’t as good as first time. I had the carnitas quesadillas which were extremely greasy. Wife said cabbage on her tacos was slimy. Nachos were ok…seemed like we had more carne asada on them the first visit. Rice and beans we ordered as sides were good. Drinks are excellent and Pullman Market is very cool new spot in The Pearl. Honestly, hard to recommend them after this experience. Especially when there is excellent Mexican food at La Gloria within about 5 mins walking time.

   Several dishes that distinguish the menu from the everyday — the different aguachiles (ceviche) and the pollo a la parilla (pipian very good). Service was standard—attentive but not over the top. Restaurant was loud—but that’s the Pearl too.

   Both meals that we ordered were overly spicy, but there was no indication of that on the menu. My wife could not finish her meal because it was too spicy.

   Terrific meal! The food is great. The tacos rival anything you get in El Paso where the greatest Mexican tacos are found in Texas. Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and the experience.

   We opened the meal with a lime-forward, homemade guacamole topped with pico de gallo. It was addicting and worth every penny. It comes with a red chipotle, salsa verde with a bit more heat, and the most ethereal tortilla chips we've ever eaten. The Elotes, a quartered corn cob topped with a masa crunch and queso fresco chamoy, is every bit as good as it sounds. The reposado flight featured Wild Common, Agave de Cortes, and Carabuena and is served with palate-cleansing orange and jicama sprinkled with sal de chapulines. Aguachile Verde, a vibrant, beautifully presented ceviche of red snapper, cucumber, and Serrano chilies served in a mildly spicy tomatillo sauce. I craved more acidity, however I can also acknowledge that, coming off of the guacamole, my tastebuds might have needed a reset. The Chuleta Asada, with Berkshire pork, snuggled into a salsa de queso, combined with the rice made for an exceptional bite. Caramelos de Carnitas was served on a wheat tortilla that was flaky and the carnitas were seasoned like their Abuela taught them how to do it. Flauta de Papas came presented stunningly and were promptly dispatched by my daughter. The Chile Rellenos’ exterior crust was so expertly fried that it retained its crunch until the last bite. When you cut into it, the queso Oaxaca oozed out so beautifully. The Tres Leches, with Chef Tavel's signature salted cream, coconut, and Jamaica sauce was the favorite of the night. Chocoflan isn't the classic cake and flan dessert but an actual flan that sent my eyes rolling to the back of my head in ecstasy. The apple sorbete was topped with thick, homemade chamoy, and sprinkled with Tajín. I highly recommend Mezquite!
