The service was really great. Also We thought the atmosphere was spot on. We both enjoyed the food, but I'm only giving it 4 out of 5 stars, since We have had better at other authentic Mexican restaurants. We still recommend that You try Em out for Yourself and see what You think. Enjoy!

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.

I have been an outspoken fan of this restaurant for over 20 years. I introduced my wife to this place, and she fell in love instantly. We have always made it a special occasion when visiting, and have left fully satisfied every single time. The food and service has always been top notch. That is until recently. We were so looking forward to going to our favorite place again and making a new memory. But our last visit was horribly disappointing. I'm not sure what happened, but the food wasn't even edible. We felt so bad for our server, but insisted she was not at all to blame. Is it the end of an era? What changed? I hate to think that this iconic eatery has run its course, but naturally we're reluctant to visit again. Please say it isn't so.

Stopped in with the in laws today for the first time. They’ve been coming here for years and I understand why! When I say the rice was perfect…the steak was seasoned and flavorful… and the margaritas were margarit’ing! I’m a fan! Ugh!
