boom, yes, good stuff.. chips came warm and freshly made. the salsa was fantastic. it had that restaurant salsa taste, but it was made better because the tomatoes still had integrity rather than being completely pureed(not that the pureed style is bad).
i ordered a margarita which was easily the best one i've ever had. it was not cloyingly sweet like a lot of them are. it was just perfect.
i also ordered the carne tacos which were exceptional. the steak was very tender, the tortillas were airy, and the avocados were ripe. the tacos came with a side of soup(recommended by the waiter). the soup was a corn tortilla soup which tasted very authentic. it was a mix between creamy and brothy, likely given the creamier texture from the starches lent by the corn; it was great.
for dessert we ordered a fried tortilla dusted with sugar and cinnamon. inside the tortilla was caramelized plantanes and some sort of sauce that mixed very well with the scoop of ice cream with caramel ladled over the top.
the restaurant itself was very interesting. the wait staff knew the menu and the owner walked around to talk to the customers about the experience(was the food good? how was the waiter? etc) you can not beat the decor. there was not much of a wait for food, but i used the time i had to take in the amazing art work on the walls and the awesome perforated pales they used for light fixtures.
