    The chorizo queso. Enough said. Solid for high end Mexican food. Somehow there's not enough upscale Mexican places out there. This is one of them to hit.

    I wish I knew what made their carnitas so special -- I'm convinced they're made by some sort of god. I have never had them this good. Exceptional food and attentive service. I have been to the 3rd street location as well and it is just as good. I dream about your food!

    I've been a big fan of this Mexican restaurant for quite some time now! It was a Tuesday and I happened to be in the neighborhood, so I decided to swing by for an early dinner. Little did I know, they had a special Taco Tuesday promotion going on! The Taco Tuesday menu had some fantastic margarita options! However, since I have a shellfish allergy, my choices were a bit limited as they didn't offer their famous fillet or fish tacos, or any other veggie tacos, apart from the taco de papa. So, I went ahead and ordered the taco de papa, and it turned out to be just as delicious as I remembered! The restaurant was busy and the staff were overwhelmed but overall it was enjoyable.

    What's good - Queso dip + guac - Chips (worth pointing out - not every place has good chips!) -salsa (spicy, fresh, thick) - carnitas!!! - grilled mahi (or halibut - I forgot but its so good, Ive had it twice this month...) -churros!!!! -flan -churro ice cream -jamaica margarita -service (everyone from hostess to servers to bussers) What's not good -noise level. So loud we stopped talking bc yelling became annoying. This was the case this last Sunday night. The week before it wasn't this loud Anyway - go. Enjoy.
