    Chips and salsa were ready at our table before we arrived, our drinks were never empty. It was convivial and a fun place to have a group dinner, though just the slightest bit noisy. The food was also tasty!

    We sat in the patio in order to hear better. We were able to linger after our lunch & not be rushed out. The weather was gorgeous. The food was absolutely excellent. Love this place.

    Although we were looking forward to dinner here based on other reviews, the food was mostly mediocre, with the exception of the flan, which was excellent. The blackberry margarita was also a hit.

    The food is always so good. I had the best chili relleno with chicken instead of pork. I'm so glad they could accommodate.
