"We were just here with a big group of 14 and I have to say, we had a pretty great time. I was in charge of picking a place and I had Chichimecas bookmarked but was a bit worried because of some of the extremely negative reviews, but our party wanted Mexican food and I just crossed my fingers and hope we would have a good experience. And we did! It took me four calls until someone picked up, but that was about the only bump we had. Making a reservation was easy and I was so happy they could accommodate our large group. We came around 5:30 on a Sunday and it wasn 't crowded, just a couple other tables, but the service was prompt, the restaurant (and bathrooms! were clean, and the food came out hot and delicious! When we got there, our table was ready and in a great spot with a bay window overlooking the train tracks (interesting view! . From our spot, there was a lot of natural light and the restaurant itself is very festively decorated. Unfortunately, no live music that day (but apparently they have it on Friday 's and Saturday 's , but it worked out because it might 've been too loud for us to have conversations. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share and we weren 't disappointed! Everything came out hot and was delicious! We ordered a bunch of tacos, which were filled well and with double corn tortillas; the mole chicken, the mole oaxaqueña, chicken enchiladas, chicken fajitas, the paella, the guac, and for dessert, the tres leches cake, which came out as a good size slice and very moist, the churros, and the platanos, which I would normally not have as a dessert but it came with a cream sauce and someone in our party who didn 't like sweets appreciated it as a dessert. Bottom line: if you 're coming with a big group who 's looking for a good time, try Chichimecas! They waiters were attentive and pleasant throughout the evening (we were there for a couple of hours with refilling drinks and checking up on us and the atmosphere is nice, not too crowded, and festive! We were seated upstairs, as were most people, I think, but there is a small bar downstairs with t.v. 's showing soccer games. One thing! I didn 't notice any music. Luckily, our big group was talkative and didn 't need it, but if I were there with a smaller group, I think I would want some Latino music in the background."
