    We we a party of 3, it was our first time there. we had food & drinks, we had a waitress named Gloria, she was very pleasant & had great recommendations, So for drinks we had Michelada & Cucumber Tamarindo margarita which were very good. For food we had chicken quesadillas, shrimp chile relleno plate with refried beans & mexican rice, also had the Sea bass with cilantro rice & charro beans. We all tasted each others food and were very pleased with the presentation & taste overall. I would definitely recommend this place & can’t wait to come back.

    First time there - had a great experience. All of our food and drinks were really good…from the drinks, chips & salsa, main courses, and all the way through to dessert. My favorites were the flight of margaritas, the street tacos and the churros for dessert. The spiked horchata was also a great addition to dessert.

    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.
