   The first thing you need to know is that they sneak a 2% charge onto your bill without telling you. It's a tax on you because they are required to pay minimum wage to their tipped employees. Rather than simply increasing the prices, they hide the actual cost. So, unless you're scrutinizing your bill, you'll miss it. It's a bit shady. The queso fundido is their best appetizer and the pasilla chicken is their best entre. Their chips are excellent - fresh and thick. The tacos are good. You get enough filling to fill 3 of the raw mini corn tortillas they serve them with. I'm not fond of raw corn tortillas but that seems to be all the rage in the US. The enchiladas are a big disappointment. It's one of my favorite dishes normally, but after ordering every version they had, I stopped getting them. The descriptions sound good but 1. they are tiny and 2. the sauces just don't taste very good - ok, at best. It's not authentic Mexican food. It's pretty much Americanized, with a nod to Santa Fe style, mexican cuisine.

   Excellent food and excellent service comfortable surroundings.  Lighting is off-need some low lights, not so many ceiling lights. Table hanging light too much bright white need warmer bulbs. Otherwise perfect

   We love this place! Great food! Reasonable price. Good service. Only issue is that it is busy so go early and make a reservation!

   Everything was great. But every time I’ve been there, I’ve found it to be in the chilly side. Never very warm because of both doors being in close proximity. Overall a great place!

   Loved this place. Delicious food and portions are generous for the price! Service was average after we got the order in. Seemed like the server was eager to turn our table or we were an annoyance. Oh well. We will definitely go back.

   Wonderful, unique food and drinks with very friendly service. High-quality, fresh ingredients. Gorgeous bar and overall look. Try the salsa with the peanut base - original and soooo yummy! This is simply our favorite spot in Longmont.

    Very pretty and comfortable room, attentive and friendly service -- but the food really misses the mark. Fresh fish plate was...fresh, but had little taste. Carne Asada had a very undercooked hangar steak, long grizzle tendons, tough, no taste. There were a few decent potatoes, rice and beans were as expected. The only moderately tasty plate was the pork shoulder, in a rich dark salty sauce. Chips are too thick and come across as stale, salsa trio was just average at best. The spicy infused marg was quite good, a small standout in quality.
