While I've enjoyed a tasty dinner here in the past, my thought is that this place really caters to those who want to eat and... drink while shooting the breeze or celebrating with friends or coworkers. This is reflected in both the prices and the need tomake reservations. Still, an overall positive experience. Read more
Great food, great atmosphere, great decoration and great style. This is a Mexicanized AMERICAN restaurant. There is nothing... wrong with that. I'm not sure if the owner, chef, or cooks are Mexican, but the food was authentic, yet Modern. The authenticflavor was there, but it was also different. Authentic in the sense that it resembles Mexican street food, but unlike thatstreet food it's not so cheap. To be honest it is some of the best Mexican food that I've had in the Area. The ambiance isgreat for a date or dinner with the family. The Spicy Pepino specialty drink was refreshing, and not so spicy. The queso, guac,and salsa with chips is also great. I tried ordering the carne asada tacos in a Spanish/Mexican accent and was corrected withits English/American pronunciation which was difficult to sit through. This restaurant did not receive a perfect score becausethe Authenticity of Mexican food and culture was good, but something felt like it was missing. However, I don't know what. So,let's just say a 4.5 is my official score. I am Mexican and grew up eating Mexican food in Mexico and on the West Coast. Read more
Kind of interesting place to eat. Service was a little meh. Server did ok, but just was kind of off/odd? Maybe it was an off... night? Not real smooth, almost like they were distracted or everyone was new. They have a nice thick queso dip for the chips anda very flavorful stone ground salsa. Serving sizes were ok, though some seemed a little light. The Callo de Hacha Tacos had verytender and succulent scallops chopped and mixed with cubed pork belly. Though the scallops were well prepared, the pork wastough and not as flavorful. I would have expected the belly to be almost the same consistency as the scallops, but no. TheCamaron had very well prepared fried shrimp with a nice spicy chipotle sauce - though the cilantro was a little heavy. TheMexican Flag was quite interesting. Was not expecting the Mexican cream to be as sweet as it was, but it was a pretty goodcompliment to the tomatillo sauce. This dish was pretty good and decent serving size. I really liked the Tortilla Soup that wasone of the side dishes. It is a nice creamy shredded chicken soup with great flavor that was robust but not overly spicy. It wasprobably one of the highlights of my meal. Read more

This is the place to go with your friends or family. The service is top notch and very responsive, also very helpful when... deciding what to enjoy for lunch or dinner. Rating would have been 5 except for the portion size for the soup. The soup wasdelicious but we ordered a bowl and it was more like a cup, remember delicious but small. Luckily the rest of the meal was goodportions and delicious. They also serve more than tequila and rum. Read more
