Could not get enough of this place. The tacos were creative, unique and delicious...as were the cocktails and house-made sodas. It was so good, we went back three times during the course of our stay. Interestingly, the waitstaff were always warm, friendly and helpful. But, the same cannot be said for the hostesses. On all three occasions, the hostesses (all different) confronted our party about "not following the rules." One got on to us for being seated outside by a waiter who was standing by the tables..."you have to come inside and see me first!", another told us we could not sit outside (though there were 4 picnic tables unoccupied) until we told here it was outside or gone, and the final one never showed up to the stand after almost 10 minutes and then got on to us for going outside to sit at one of the numerous unoccupied tables. But, don't let this deter you...because the food is incredible and once you get past the gatekeepers, the rest of the staff of amazingly friendly and accommodating. Since the interaction with the hostesses was a minimal part, I am giving 5 stars.

A New Mexico themed diner. Interestingly, it is on Southwest Avenue. Their slogan is something like, A taste of the Southwest on Southwest.
