good food,greatservice. i love this place as much for the friendly, efficient service, as the food, which is pretty darn good, in its own right - not as "authentic" as some would insist you must have to be a good mexican restaurant., but pretty good.
what some folks do not seem to realize, or choose to ignore, in their rush to identify the nextgreat"authentic" cuisine restaurant, is that authentic dishes can be as poorly prepared and poorly served as its non-authentic counterpart - tripe is not for everyone, silver dollar sized tacos with a dab of dry animal is not what everyone is seeking as a dining experience, and a menu that is difficult to understand does not guarantee quality.
the carnitas, an authentic mexican dish some consider boring, are excellent - tender, moist, with a nice crust, andgreattaste. the carne asada also delivers, with well grilled shredded beef, pico de gallo with an attitude and tons of fresh cilantro, and an outstanding tomatillo sauce served on the side. both the chile colorado and the chili verde are worth a look, at the very least.
i find the burittos and enchilladas here very good, as well, with nice sauces, well seasoned meats, and good quality cheese. even the chips and salas, which are so tex-mex to some, are excellent, and they have dos equis lager on tap. the nachos are the only item i've tried here that i did not care for - very little on the chips.
the food comes out of the kitchen quickly, the service is excellent - you are checked on at least 4 or 5 times at each seating to see if you need more drink, chips, salas, or anything else. the owner, or some one in management, always stops by to see if you order is as you wanted it. and, finally, the prices are reasonable - there is little to find fault with here, and much to enjoy.
