Best Mexican food I've ever had! We were visiting for the weekend. This is a definite must stop. Margaritas were strong and flavorful, food was fresh and seasoned amazing, service was exceptional. Food : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Atmosphere : 5/5 … More

Very sore night due to thunder storms rolling through. Went to new brewery next door and did take out like many others. Service was poor since there was no one in the restaurant, only take out. We still usually tip good even when we take out and the restaurant needs to figure this out which could benefit them. They would have had no business if it was not for Altered State that night. Food was ok this night, needed some seasoning. Good salsa, chips old.

Food was good, but a little expensive for what it is. I was okay with that due to the idea of being more authentic, but they charge for an extra scoop of salsa (what would have been my second) and this penny pinching isn't right for an authentic Latin experience. I'm Spanish and from California, with roots back to New Mexico, and my family would never charge for something like that. The prices, particularly for dinner are a little pricey. The service was just so-so. I had to ask for a refill of soda (one refill) and the server seemed generally miffed at something, not sure what. Atmosphere is nice and if you're going for that you may enjoy it. I likely won't be back. Just moved here and was hoping this would become my local Mexican food spot, but just didn't feel the experience matched the price asked.
