This can be a casual shorts, family type of a place, or dress up in Sunday clothes. Our service was good and we really enjoyed experiencing some traditional Mexican food with a twist. The guacamole is delicious. The tacos, so yummy, and the bacon wrapped shrimp was delicious. Be prepared to be a little adventurous, as they highlight different styles, but it is fun to try new things.

This unpretentious Mexican eatery across the Doubletree hotel makes its mark for the delicious food and great service. Enchiladas with either Chipotle or Mole Poblano sauces are out of this world. The shrimp with chipotle are magnificent. The beef with mole equally outstanding as is the chicken and cheese quesadillas with mole. Carnitas were outstanding as well and as advertised with great chicharrón. The tortilla soup for starters is amazing even when you order a small one. Mechiladas are great like a Bloody Mary made with beer. Service was simply super friendly. We need to repeat here over and over.

I tried out this restaurant as a result of a recommendation from a coworker. Apparently my coworker either really doesn't know what good Mexican food tastes like or just doesn't have a discerning palate. The food was awful!! The restaurant was dirty and dingy. I felt like I needed to take a shower after I ate there. A friend accompanied me on this trip and she had the same experience as I did. I would much rather eat at " Cilantro's" just down the street.

Their chicken street tacos are very good. Had a bowl of Cocteles Del Camarones (shrimp, avacodo, tomatoes, onions, in a tasty tomato based chilled broth) that was refreshing and really wonderful!!! We came back another night to have same meal again. Nice place for families.
