Here you’ll find favorites such as a fresh-vegetable minestrone; wild mushroom risotto; and spinach and ricotta cheese gnocchi.

We were greeted promptly and seated on time from the friendly host. This was my first time here and it was a fun experience. It felt like I was on vacation in Mexico. The music was a nice touch. An authentic Mexican vibe for sure. The service was very good and the mole choices were bomb. My only complaint was the prices were quite steep for the portion sizes. I’d return again though. Thank you.

My lady and I had dinner here for Valentine’s Day. The food was exceptional! The environment was clean and well done. I called in because we were running late and they accommodated our late arrival. The service was good but could have been better. It seemed that there was one waiter for the attire dining room. They may have been under staffed that night. He was pretty busy. But over a great experience and we will definitely be back.
