We have to say, we were expecting a lot from the Loteria Bathroom. The restaurant itself is a well laid out, airy space with some nice details and welcoming Then there was the bathroom. We can only speak for the women's, but what a let down.
It may be best described as not looking out of place in a video game. Perhaps Resident Evil 4, somewhere in the science lab. White, white, white, except for the cement floor. Yes, just plain cement. Also, the room comes dangerously close to one of our pet peeves, "The Toilet Facing Mirror." Luckily for them, the mirror is not floor length. It just stretches across the entire wall. Perhaps this is so you can reflect (ha) on the three white walls surrounding your face, which you are forced to gaze upon while doing your business, whatever that may be. To be fair, the establishment has recently opened and perhaps the bathroom hasn't been touched yet. Oh yes, one more thing. If you insist on having a "who cleaned the bathroom when" checklist proudly displayed on the door, please, please use it. It was one in the afternoon, and the last person who bothered to write their name had been there the night before. (Thank you Julie)
Ah, but there is one saving grace, the sink. Loteria has a beautiful, large white, (of course, they have a theme you know,) square sink, on top of which rests the one blaze of color in the room, a little jar of yellow oil. ahh. That's nice. They also have foamy handsoap, which we love. We don't know why.
pluses+
sink
yellow
foamy hand soap
minuses-
nothing to look at but your face
white, white, and not particularly well done white.
florescent scaryness
not up-to date bathroom check, (although it was not, by appearances, a dirty bathroom.)
overall:
Functional. Don't go out of your way.

What was the yellow oil for? Sounds weird.
yeah, I couldn't figure out the right word for the incense-like oil. I think that's what it was for... smells? I don't really know. But it was pretty.
