We visited with a large family of 10 this evening and were treated to excellent service. We started with one of their tasty margaritas and selected with some difficulty(many items to choose from) an entree off the extensive menu. Chili Colorado was my choice. I especialy enjoyed the housemade corn tortillas served with dinner. The large portions that were served satisfied our entire group. The old world decor and beautiful patio area as well as a large bar area made for an inviting dining experience.

Nice location close to the beach and the environment is great, but unfortunately the food and drinks just don't match the pretty facade. I ordered a banana margarita and my Husband ordered a raspberry one. I couldn't taste even the slightest hint of banana in mine, so i complained to yhe waiter. He argued with me that's how the mix taste. My Husnad's raspberry margarita tasted like premade manufactured syrup. The salsa for the chips & salsa was the worst salsa that I have ever eaten. It was pure tomato paste with the slightest amount of peppers added possible. It was weird. For dinner, I ordered the crab enchiladas. The verdi sauce was straight from the can. It had that sharp "tin" taste and was horrible. Nothing we had was fresh. We were so disappointed.

We appreciated that the food was made quickly and the prices were reasonable, but the taste was just average. We enjoyed the outdoor seating.

Busy place at lunchtime and for good reason. The rotisserie chicken is juicy, moist and tastes wonderful. The potatoes stuffed with beef were also delicious, one serving is enough for two. The dipping sauces were moderately spicy and addictive. We shared a cookie which was melt in the mouth. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was casual. Can't wait to go back.
