                                            Highly overpriced for what it was. Ordered chicken enchiladas which are not expensive to make. Dish was over $20 and only got 2 enchiladas and there was nothing special about the dish in any other way - just regular enchiladas as I like them. Left feeling hungry. Tequila also over-priced, over $10 for just a single ounce even for the cheap ones. Did not order any. We have come for many years and know this is expensive Mexican but this time prices were absurd for what we got.

                                            Our table was ready as we arrived, a nice table out of the way, upstairs. It took about fifteen minutes, and asking three times for water and the same thing for drinks, and we almost had to beg to get a server to take our order. There were no issues with our order - it came in a reasonable amount of time, and everything was as ordered - we had a few amendments due to allergies. Margaritas were good.
