Be prepared to open your wallet when you go here. For a nacho supreme and a glass of tea and gratuity (which is already included at 20%), the total was almost $25.00. I don't intend to return as for a simple meal, that is too pricey for my taste. I would say that the food is very good, but not that good. I could buy an excellent steak and bell pepper for much less than that. Thanks, but no thanks!

The place always look dark but it’s open so go try it out. I tried the nacho deluxe with shredded chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, refried beans, and cheese on the bottom. The nachos was a never try again meal. I tried the mild hot sauce which was green. The waiter made sure to keep coming back. It was pack inside lots of people lots of conversation. There wasn’t a seat at the bar on a Friday night at 8 I was seated in a booth In the bar area.

This may be our favorite New Mexican spot. My wife and I frequent many Mexican restaurants in the area (of which there is no shortage!), and I’ve been very impressed here by a few things: 1.) Customer service was great. Very friendly staff. 2.) The quality of both the food and drinks were very good. Good portion sizes too. And then 3.) The prices are some of, if not the, best around. Especially their happy hour deals. You can get great margaritas for 4.50 each and lot of discounted...
