The food is amazing! We had the walnut shrimp, coconut curry, New York strip, pork ribs, and fried rice—all were amazing. We were in the inside room and there were two large parties so the noise level was high. But overall, a wonderful dinner!!

Its my favorite restaurant. The staff is kind and attentive. The ambiance is what traditional Mexican restaurants WANT to be. The food is superb without being pretentious or over the top. If I'm in the area and have time, I'm going.

I met a friend for happy hour. 3 pm but we were given a brunch menu? Not really what we had in mind but we both picked the steak salad. It was really tasty and well done steak. The waitress must have been busy because we didn’t see her at all until we finished. No refills of water. It was a bit pricey for 2 salads and a three glass wine tasting for one and an ice tea for the other. $90
