Such a beautiful restaurant with bright Mexican colors. Masks on the top of the walls gives Modern Museums vibes. Started with complimentary chips and salsa, great choices on mild and spicy salsa! There is option to have fresh made guacamole by your table! Service is proffessional and nice! Ordered camaron and pescado (fish tacos) and Carne chihuahua. Presentation was pretty, but taste wasn't anything special, a bit disappointing. Meat could of be better quality and better cooked, cheese and all veggies made it kind of messy and not tasty all together. Had nice time, but don't plan to go back to be honest, other mexican restaurants in the area has better food.
While you'll find yourself spending -slightly- more for mexican food here, you'll find yourself enjoying it twice as much as other local joints. The margaritas are well balanced, the atmosphere is fun and lively, and good god the food is great. You'll find me at a corner table sipping their salsas obsessively from a straw.
I got the Pechuga De Pollo with Mole De Cacahuate and it was delicious. The rice and crispy plantains paired nicely with the Mole and the crunch of the peanuts completed the dish perfectly. You honestly can't go wrong with any of their Mole dishes. Even their Frozen Mango Margarita was amazing. I highly recommend it.
