Overall one of the better Tex-Mex family-style restaurants we’ve had in the city. The Big Burrito California was very tasty and well seasoned-it is big and it’s stick to your ribs food. The hot sauces on the table are all very good. The cocktails were alright, nothing to write home about, and not cheap at about $18 each. Seems like they have a great happy hour deal though so I’m sure we’ll be back!

Our server was fantastic- very attentive. The steak was of decent quality and tasted great. Some Mexican places have resorted to steak that is borderline not edible with gristle and such- this was not the case here. The chips and salsa suck though. I often love to plow through chips and salsa and I ate two chips here. Despite making a reservation over a week in advance and them having it written on the schedule in front of them, when we walked in they had not even remotely saved...
