The sophisticated hotspot Temezcal in Seaport truly has an unbeatable atmosphere. From the bamboo beam tunnel entrance to the completely open dining area overlooking the harbor, you couldn't ask for a better place to unwind with friends.
When seated, each member in your party receives an ipad instead of a menu. A little unnecessary, but I did enjoy having access to all of the ingredients as well as a vibrant image for each menu item and drink. A more practical use for the ipad menu would be replacing the waitress with ordering straight from your ipad. But then again, I can only imagine the stress my dad would feel trying to navigate the "computer board". He'd end up ordering a $100 shot of tequilla while trying to get a plain cheese quesadilla.
The food is fancy mexican, which never fails to disappoint me. The guacamole was too healthy and lacked flavor. An order of 18 dollar tacos came with two measley hard shell tacos and no accompanying rice or beans. When I am craving mexican I want to stuff myself with cheese, salty meats and creative sauces, not daintily nibble on a grilled chicken breast lightly drizzled with mole sauce.
Food aside, the margaritas are something to rave about. I would come back everyday of the summer for these 16-18 dollar delights. The raspberry marg is made with fresh squeezed lime and raspberry puree in place of triple sec and sugary prebottled mixes. The white sangria, while very sweet, was absolutely delightful as well.
Skip the food, and go for the margs (and possibly an order of ceviche) and you will feel the weight of the work week melt off your shoulders in no time. :)
