    Chicken tortilla soup was great. Nice presentation at table where server poured the soup over tortillas and fresh avocado. Guacamole was very good..not done at tableside but still tasty. Carne asada tacos also very tasty. I wanted a variety of meats but they don't have that option. Passion margarita with organic tequila was great. Only constructive criticism was that server was a bit impatient in beginning when we asked questions about the tequila choices..restaurant was fairly empty at the time. We also waited a while to get a check..had to get up and ask another server for help with that. Overall I recommend this restaurant and location! Will go back.

    Food and service were very good. However the seating is too tight. Almost impossible to get out of your seat and not touch the table next to you. Time for them to get a bigger space.
