Review of Yollah

 Once in awhile one can catch themselves riding around not quite knowing where they are going, especially if it is where they are going to eat.

I have many years of that for sure.

That is what happened last Friday and that is how me and my wife found Yollah.

If I was going to tell you how to get to Yollah , I would say go past Mount de Sales Academy and if you get to Mercer  you need to turn around. If you blink you could definitely miss it, but once you find it, I don't think you will be disappointed.

The building is obviously new, which was nice and we chose to sit outside in back . I could see how this would be a very classy place to eat at night because they had pretty cool lighting and also the big heaters. I have heard that this place has become fairly popular.

We decided to both have a drink and Debbie had a Cherry Blossom Martini and I had a Yollah Margarita. The Martini was very tasteful and also somewhat plentiful while the Margarita was also very tasty. The only thing I had any issue with was the Margarita was in what I consider a water glass, which is not exactly festive. I know that is a small issue but those are the kid of things I am supposed to notice. I just think they could get some nicer alcohol glasses. Do you agree ?

I also had sweet tea because I must always rate the sweet tea, and I had no complaints with it at all. I t was sweet enough and still tasted like tea.

We had an appetizer which consisted of chips, quest, a red traditional salsa and then a green salsa. Neither one of us cared for the green, but both of us really liked the quest and red salsa. The salsa is not overly spicy but filled with flavor while the queso was thicker than what you would have in a Mexican restaurant. However the thickness was not a problem. It was very very good and very filling.

 For the entree Debbie went with two Empandas and she descibed them as "delicious" They had a crispy outside and they just looked like they were ready to be eaten. I went with the stuffed poblanos and I would say that they were fairly decent, but I would not order them again. I am not sure how the peppers were supposed to be cooked but they were not soft at all. I actually was not sure if I was supposed to eat the pepper or if it was just somewhere for the meat, cheese and rice to sit. I had two of them so I ate the Poblano on the first one and did not on the second one. 

I do think that Yollah has several dishes on the menu that I would like to taste and we may well go back.

I was a tad disappointed with the service. Yollah was not busy during our visit, but my sweet teas glass stayed empty for the majority of my visit. Everyone, including the waitress was very nice and welcoming , but having the empty tea glass is a small pet peeve of mine.

The Empanadas ran $6.50 apiece and you would have to order at least two to call it a meal , while the Poblanos were $12.00 bucks. The Martini and Margarita were between 9 and 12 dollars.

Price for a fancy lunch with drinks came in over $60.00, so it ended being a little pricey.
