I sat at the bar and I had another great meal. The staff is always so attentive. I always make it a point to stop in when I'm in town.
Let me just say up front... this place is a feast for the eyes!! From the door, the decor pops and is vibrant, colorful, energetic and so celebrative. The ambience is so stimulating to look at in every direction... great job with that! The hosting staff is friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. And the food did not disappoint. Equally vibrant and pleasant to the eyes in plating... every dish we had was tasty and size-able. I never take home food... but this time simply couldn't finish my plate. It was great... from the chips and salsa to start, to the last bite... we enjoyed a great family dinner tonight. And the bill didn't hurt either... lol. We'll be back!!
Large Mexican themed venue with indoor & outdoor seating, as well as a separate bar area. Metered street parking when you can find an available spot. Metered lot nearby, & public garages nearby as well. Friendly staff, fair paced service. Typical Mexican themed interior. I've been here a time or two before, was not a fan of the food, but today was actually good. Had the sliders, one of each, & it was enjoyable. Had a lot of their margaritas, they were very good. This review is simple, cause I went there for another purpose, & ended up snapping 3 quick photos out of habit. Grades: Sliders: B+ Margaritas: A+
