    I hope our meat eating guests enjoyed their beef. DH and I are vegetarian, and shared two entrees. The "mushroom tinga" didn't have any mushrooms: it was just lightly sauteed onions and peppers on top of inedible corn tortillas (although DH specifically asked for flour tortillas). The rice was over spiced. Not a good dish! The spinach and cheese enchiladas were OK, but again, the rice was terrible. Guacamole, chips, and salsa were good, and desserts were OK, especially the delicious flan. Nice view, though -- probably a great place to grab a beer and eat chips and salsa. Not recommended for dinner.

    Sat outside just after sunset, best Guacamole I have ever had at a restaurant. Portion were good size, could not eat it all. The view was awesome along with the food! When the outdoor heater ran out of propane, our waiter Sam went and got us another heater.

    Our server, Vincent, was exceptional. He was vey knowledgeable about the menu and he helped us substitute items switching the chicken for Shrimp. The shrimp was a little over cooked but the salad was still very good. Brought out a nice birthday dessert.
