Urbe

Been meaning to come here and try Urbe, finally got the chance.  This place pride itself to have authentic Mexican Street Food.

Located right at the Uptown shopping center.  I came here with a group, which means we can try a lot of food.

Let's start with a platter: it has taquitos, Gorditas, taco al pastor, mini corn, quesadillas.  All of them worth getting, even I'm not a corn person thinks the corn is worth getting.

This is Green is Good - which has cucumber, lime, mint, Topo Chico, passionfruit, and Tajin.  Pretty good for non-alcoholic.

Fried oysters with butter, breadcrumb, and cotjia cheese.  Very cheesy and it's pretty good.

Queso Flameado - as my coworker said, it's like quesadilla deconstructed.  The queso is covering the brisket, mushroom, pepper, onion.  The pouch has tortillas.  And you open the tortillas, put some cheese, meat, veggies, and dip into the salsa on the side.  It is kinda like a deconstructed quesadilla.  Not bad.

I will say, the food over all is not bad.  But it's not so exceptional that I have to come back.  Coupled with the service is so-so, making a return is hard.  I know it's own by the Hugo Family of restaurants, but when I get better service at Xochi or Hugo's, making a trek uptown a tad more trying.

At any rate, Happy Hour is Monday thru Saturday from 4 -6:30pm, Park on the side of the building, you can get there thru the breezeway and has more space to park.  Plus, weather is nice for patio seating, make enjoying it outside easier.
