Editorial Review for Tila's Mexican Restaurante & Bar – by Robin Barr Sussman
The Scene
Take it to Tila's tiny terra-cotta adobe for smooth margaritas and earthy, Santa Fe-style ambience. Expect a well-heeled clientele who are comfortable forking over extra pesos to hang in their element and nosh on designer Mexican food.
The Food
Sophisticated eating starts with rosy, tequila-marinated smoked salmon or rich nutmeg-laced corn and carrot bisque. Don't let the poorly dressed ensalada No. 1 derail you. Keep it complex with engaging (albeit uneven) mains: stuffed chicken endive or spicy pork tenderloin medallions with basil-mint pesto. Or go traditional with tangy, chili-sauced spinach enchiladas and smoky black beans, deftly prepared chili rellenos, or generous tortas stuffed with roasted carnitas and the works. Finish with the dubious sounding but decadent ancho fudge pie or cinnamon-kissed Mexican hot cocoa--both wickedly warming.

Insider Tips
What to Drink'Ritas are smashing--rocks or martini-style. Also, count on affordable wines by the glass.
Know Before You GoIt's easy to miss this hidden turn on the Shepherd curve (across from Backstreet Cafe). Look for the giant dragonfly on the building. Parking is tight; use valet.

My husband and I decided to give this "backyard Mexican patio"-themed restaurant a chance and try something new. We were greatly disappointed in the service and the food. We waited about 10 minutes before a waitress asked us for our drink order and by that time were ready to give her our full order. We both ordered lemonades, which took 10 minutes to be made and delivered to us (they didn't taste freshly made, so not really sure what the hold up was). Additionally, it took 20-25 minutes more to receive our lukewarm entrees (yuk!) and the food was covered in what appeared to be carrot shavings :-/ We ordered more lemonade (I know, bad idea)... But, the waitress completely forgot about them (yay, didn't have to pay for 'em!). Needlesstosay, the owner was outside the whole time and decided to pay more attention to one customer that interested her instead of her dissatified customers! Don't order the lemonade!
Pros: Nada
Cons: Nice neighborhood...

After considering the lukewarm reviews, we still decided to try the patio on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.This was a HUGE mistake.We waited 25 minutes for service and decided to leave. There were only three tables occupied and no reason for this rediculous laziness. I would never recomend this overpriced dump.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Parking,noise,service,value
