Continental Divide

Margarita + Sante Fe enchiladas = some pretty dang amazing South Western Mexican food! I love the atmosphere and service. They also have a a small local beer selection. The first time I went here, it took me 15 minutes to find it (haha I kept walking past it). There’s no big sign, but «Continental Divide» is written in black on the white brick wall. Oh, and the pumpkin muffin that comes with your dinner… just trust me and EAT IT!

5 Stars for food (if you order the right food), 2 for service. Let me start with the good:
We started with the black bean nachos, which were pretty good but lacking in size– between the 7 of us, we each got only a few chips.
I ordered the Santa Fe enchiladas, which is apparently the most popular item. They were delicious and filling, and the pumpkin muffin on the side was a nice treat. My friend ordered the vegetarian enchiladas, but it was clear they were not as delectable; they had skimped on the sauce and all I could taste was a mouthful of spinach.
My other friends reported that they enjoyed their beef tacos, which seemed to come on ordinary store-​bought tortillas. Really? If you’re not going to give us free chips and salsa, you’ve got to at least home make your tortillas. However, I’m not going to dock the rating because I didn’t eat the tacos.
The initial greeting we got was quite unwelcoming. I was celebrating my birthday with my six friends and asked what the wait time would be and received an «I don’t know.» Okay, fair enough, but the hostess then proceeded to sneakily talk to the couple in front of us. There apparently is a rule that you have to have your whole party with you to be seated, and the couple kept insisting that the other members of their party were on the way. The hostess acted like they were in on a secret and seated half of the party. Meanwhile, I was trying to communicate with her that our party, who had been waiting for a while, would be happy to squeeze into one booth, but I was given a rude look that signaled «I don’t have time for you.» Our waitress was a lot better, but the checks took forever to come out.
Overall I would go back with a small party– this restaurant’s size matches it’s service.
