about my ratings:
i divide restaurants into three categories.
1) fast food and "fast-casual" (no table service).
2) casual dining (table service, average entrée price: $10-$20).
3) fine dining (linen napkins, no plastic cups, no tv's in dining room, average entrée priced at more than $20).
fine dining can earn a max of five stars. casual dining can earn a max of four stars. fast food can earn a max of three stars.

would love to see some specials, some creativity, some flair!. excellent, casual dining.
reservations highly recommended.
allow 45 minutes.
i like gonza and i like his restaurant. but, it's been more than a year now and the menu hasn't changed much. the "ghost menu" items are now in print, but --- other than that--- the menu is the basically same.
about $35 per person (we spent more on tequila than we did food), dessert and gratuity not included.
be sure to order a sangrita to chase your tequila (unless you're having one of the more expensive, fine, sipping tequilas).
