Excellent Mexican restaurant, you have to get the guacamole dip (mixed and served at your table). Great selection of tequila, Antigua is fantastic! Tortilla soup is also incredible!Upvote5DownvoteUpvoted Feb 2
The chili rellenos are incredible! My husband really enjoys the chicken fajitas. The tableside guacamole is good and the salsa has a good smokey flavor to it.UpvoteDownvote

PooBear & FathedFebruary 8, 2015Service slow, items arrive after you've eaten, guac excellent but not enough for almost $10, everything has heat in it, many items drenched in mole, coconut mojitos are like a holiday vacation.UpvoteDownvote

"Great quesadillas. Fabulous Steak a la Mexicana, if you like spicy. Ask for some sabinas - fresh, hot chips. All-around some of the best Mexican you'll find."
