The smoky guacamole and the ancho salmon were wonderful. Beautiful decor. The pitcher of margaritas special for Margarita Monday was a great deal ( and not made using a mix).

Waitress walked past many nice tables to seat us in the corner of a room that's clearly an after thought. They just have this huge room in the back with tons of tables squished together. It was 10x louder in this room than the rest of the restaurant. No dividers or decor, it's completely different than the rest of the place. We (my party AND THE STAFF) had to ask 2 guests consistently to move their chairs so we could gain access to our seats. We were literally shoved into a corner booth with no way out without permission. You have a 50/50 shot to get a nice seat. Food was good though

We had reservations and were seated upon arrival. Service was very good. We were not rushed to order. Server was able to answer questions about menu items. Sufficient menu selections from appetizers to dessert. Food was good, items arrived timely and the entrees were hot and nicely prepared. Really enjoyed the fresh guac. Portions were more than ample. Had the dessert special which was not what I expected but quite tasty. On the pricy side but we were not surprised having been here before. My only complaint would be that I was cold & had to put my coat back on. I would recommend Toro..
