The food was excellent as was the service. The restaurant was packed and the staff and kitchen were professional and subtle. An excellent evening was had by all.

If you are in your mid-twenties, and female, and speak in a high squeaky voice, this place is for you. (I counted two men in the entire room, neither of whom spoke in a high squeaky voice.) These young women come in groups, no doubt right from work, and are pleasant enough. The food is huge (!) so wonder where these svelte young things put it. Speaking of the food, the generous portions are a plus, but everything tastes the same. Like onions, to be specific. (Make sure you DON'T ask for onions in your guacamole.) This place is a good bet if you are very hungry, in the nabe, and looking for cute girls.

really great margs and guacamole. love the steak nachos. this was my second time there, and it was way too crowded, an uncomfortale number of tables where the back of my chair was on the person behind me and the waiters were bumping into me. if they removed a few tables, it wouldve been way better. we had four people, two aps, two pitchers of margs, and main entrees, no space on the table!
