Our four visit and my second one when I ordered chili rellenos. I would hope that the chef might reconsider this preparation for the chili rellenos as the batter is very thin, and the poblano peppers are undercooked. The batter falls off before you can even eat the entrée.It is my most favorite dish at Mexican restaurants, but I will not order it again here unless they change it. On the other hand, my husband, loved the Carne Asada, which he ordered medium rare and it was done that way. My other concern was that our appetizer was brought after our main courses. There seems to be a rush to turn tables, as there was a crowd waiting when we tried to leave. I think the noise level in the restaurant inhibits clear communication with the waiters.
