It's been about 30 years since my last visit. It's still great. Classic margarita done right. Chile relleno, steak fajitas perfect. My friend had chicken wings (?) For some reason and liked them.

Overall good spot. The food is mid and can have a bit more flavoring. I had the NY Strip quesadilla and it just taste charred. They make in house guac, salsa & chips which I can eat all day. The frozen margs are amazing! The staff is friendly and helpful.

Excellent service - friendly, attentive and made the night very special for us while visiting. The food was great as well. We had the Mexican Paella, chefs combo and quesadillas de chorizo. Margaritas were also delicious - made with fresh fruit. The flan and dessert cocktail were also delicious. Highly recommended. There is bar seating and also more intimate dinner areas. Thank you guys for making dinner a great time for us!
