"The service was top notch and I wish I could say the food matched it.
This is our third time in many years but it will have to be the last.
Bland enchiladas, terrible chips, the kids meals had to be sent back and the mole was boring.
Too bad but we didn't let it ruin our night."

"Very good, slightly unusual Mexican food. We were there on a THursday and asked for a quiet table. It was very quiet (bad weather), which I appreciated.
There was live music at the bar, good and low-key."
