Excellent smoked chicken salad...would have liked to see more green veggie options and less fried food options...although Latin American cuisine I believe there are non fried delicacies that could be added perhaps as specials.

They were overwhelmed by the crowd on cinco de mayo. Not enough staff. Long wait for drinks and food. The food was good not great but not worth the high price. Probably will not go back.

Service was sloooooow, 2 drinks an appetizer and meal took us 2.5 hours! The server did say their chef called off, leaving them with a “guest chef” and they were also short wait staff. But man, it took forever. The food was nothing to rave about, mushroom enchiladas and my husband had the shrimp tacos but again...guest chef, so maybe better on a different night? The menu had great variety, with fun twist to various Mexican dishes. The drinks were delicious, great selections there. I enjoyed the Smoke and Mirrors and the Jalepeno Margarita, maybe a little on the weak side? But great flavor. I’d give it one more try, fingers crossed the usual chef is working and they’re staffed appropriately!

Consistently good food. Flavors are layered and each spice is tasted. Love the frozen sangria!

On a Saturday night with a huge shower party taking much of the staff's attention was stretched thin but our server and assistant were friendly and helpful. Had the grapefruit-cilantro martini which had delighted in the past like drinking a Spring meadow. This time it was too heavy on the fruit and light on the cilantro (and liquor). Steak and mushroom tacos with smoked black beans were tasty, and the chocolate gelato with cinnamon dessert exploded with taste. Coffee was a disappointment, about as strong as dishwater (it doesn't bode well when you can see the bottom of a white cup through the brew). We will go back often, but probably not on a Fri/Sat night.
