    The food was okay. Not anything we couldn’t make ourselves really. The busboy that served us more chips sat the bowl on top of our old chips and left. We sat at a small table and the two bowls for our guac and queso were so overly huge that we couldn’t fit anything else on the table. It was a little too pretentious for what it was. The mixed drinks were too sweet. Definitely could tell the margs were from a mix. Too bad. We didn’t really need a reservation either since it was empty by 8pm. Probably will not be going back.

    Our server, Brandon, was attentive without hovering and made excellent suggestions when asked, then intelligently volunteered more information about our choices. Excellent selection of margaritas. The sour cream sauce on my wife's cheese enchilada was a nice change from the usual sauces offered. My burrito was filling, with an optimum blend of sides and main course. The fried ice cream complemented the sopapillas. All in all, an excellent venue for Mexican food. Observation; the background music was at the Cinderella zone for volume -- and not mariachi, for what it's worth. We intend to recommend this restaurant to our friends.

    Best Mexican food I’ve had outside of Pueblo, CO. Green chili and bean dip the best

    Good taco salad, green chili, tasty with good spice. No prices on the menu, gives them the ability to charge anything they want.

    No prices on menu! And a very convoluted explanation as to why. And an even more convoluted process to access their on line menu, that has prices! The food was within the realm of adequate! Nothing special, average at best! Not your traditional Mexican cuisine! It’s a 2 at best.

    The waiter was outstanding, was very attentive. I had a Chimichanga with shredded beef. You get a choice of Mild, Medium, or Spicy. I tried the Medium. It could have been spicier...next time I will get the Spicy. The prices were reasonable. They did add COS fee of 1.5% - Thanks to inflation. The menu didn't have prices because of rates increasing and decreasing- so you get a separate pamphlet with the prices. That way they don't have to re-do menus all the time.
