Shrimp tacos came in an order of 2 and each had ONE piece of shrimp with the tail still on in a tiny tortilla smeared with mashed potatoes, and no side, for $16. Everything was very under salted. Drinks were tasty but also very small and expensive. Chips (which tasted completely unsalted) and Guac was big enough to maybe be considered a side to an entree, not its own appetizer, and was $11!! We left very hungry and broke (dinner for 4, sharing chips and slasa&guac, cactus salad, each got 1 entree and 1 drink, shared 1 dessert) was $240. With so many great, authentic, Mexican spots around somerville/cambridge its hard to say I would recommend this place or justify the outrageous prices.
