Interesting part of town. Very nice ambience and great service. Presentation was excellent but the chicken in my enchilada was a little dry and tough. But overall it was a nice experience.

Food was the best Mexican in Utah with exquisite combinations and cooked to perfection. Specialty margaritas were delicious. The service was amazing! Servers were so friendly and fun for our birthday celebration!! They were attentive and courteous while also giving us ample time to decide and finish eating. My whole family was so impressed with their first of many to come dining experiences! We’ll go back for sure!

The reason we went there was for two entrees that were listed on the on line menu but are no longer offered. It was my husband's birthday and he had his palate set for the lamb chops. I was set for the sea bass. I enjoyed the salmon and tamale entree but my husband's entree was nothing special. Update your on line menu so others are not disappointed as we were.
