    Selling tacos with no salsa except for an up charge just doesn’t sound right for a “Mexican” restaurant. I understand up charging if you want additional salsa or order an item that usually doesn’t come with salsa. But who sells tacos with no salsa included?!?!

    Definitely not your typical Mexican restaurant. I had a special carnita prepared with pickled onion, radish and grilled pineapple that was out of this world. The chicken mole my wife had was just delicious. It was a little pricey for Mexican but again, not your typical Mexican place - much better.

    Food was not typical of other places. Fajitas were not sizzling on the skillet. Al pastor was not traditional crispy.

    This was our second visit to this restaurant. The first time we were pleased, and this time did not disappoint. The only issue I had (both visits) was their over priced margaritas. They came in a small glass loaded with ice and were a very light pour. We were charged extra for adding pineapple juice (which could not have been more than a half a teaspoon because the glass size and ice)- $19 for a small over-iced drink was insane. Won’t be ordering any alcohol next time.

    While the menu is upscale Mexican and the food was good, the price tag was probably a little higher than it should be. The table height was low as compared to other restaurants. The server was attentive and pleasant. A good occasional dining establishment.
