What a disappoinment. This place was great when they first opened downtown. Not sure what happened between then and now, but it feels like someone lent them their copy of "The Restauranture's Guide to Cutting Corners to Maximize Profit While not Completely Alienating Your Clientele." The salsa bar used to be awesome. I'd be surprised if any the stuff they put out now isn't from a can or a jar. Canned chicken in the taco salad. Can it really be a Latin restaurant when everything of substance is dropped off by a Cisco truck? Super disappointing, and this isn't the only place I've noticed this trend. I used to love South Bay Pub. The same thing happened there as happened here. Restaurant owners owe their clientele more than this drek.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The salsa bar with the self serve chip warmer was a good idea. I had enchilada con Pollo y mole, top quality, with black beans topped with cotijo. We all tried the mole and agreed it was very well made. Spouse and offspring had street tacos, said the carne asada was excellent. Fridge of all the Jarritos flavors. Absolutely will go back.

I love this place! My favorite dish is the tacos durados, which I always get with their latin bean soup. It's got chorizo and beans in it with cilantro and onions. I also like their chicken tortilla soup. It is well seasoned and the chicken is moist. Staff is very fun and friendly.
