easy to see why it's rated so highly!. good, cheapmexicanfood.
the decor was a bit of a distraction. caribbean ocean blue runs partway up the textured stucco walls. where it ends dazzling white continues to the ceiling. pink and green floral carpet battles brightly tiled table tops. murals adorn one wall and colorful decorations are suspended from the ceiling. the whole effect is one of discordant disarray. mercifully the wonderful breeze caressed patio was open.
the service was very good. we enjoyed two attentive gentlemen who made sure we wanted for nothing. one of whom started us off with a big basket of (house made? i think so.) corn chips and a dish of tangy salsa for each of us. the other brought glasses topped off with crushed ice and a large frosty pitcher of ice water.
my brother ordered a chicken enchilada combo with beans, salad and rice. he said it was all top drawer. i had a quesadilla de pollo a la carte. it was huge and came with an ice cream scoop full of sour cream and guacamole each with a whole black olive in its center arranged in such a way as to form the image of a smiley face. made me smile. to top it all off, they brought us huge sweet sopapillas drenched in syrup, whipped cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. caramba!
neither of us could finish this much food. about half of mine will serve as dinner tonight.
oh, and the total for both meals (before well deserved and generous tip) was $13.90! unbelievable!
