Very Ordinary

We went on a Wednesday. Our table had benches (no backs to the chairs - so rather uncomfortable). The service was slow. Most of the party of 6 had been there before - and were disappointed this time. I ordered Pechuga Ranchero - one small leg of chicken and attached half breast, with spinach. It was dry. For $11, I would have expected more. Most margharitas were $11 - outrageous for the tiny cocktail you get. We shared 2 guacamoles, 2 ceviches and had a main each and it was $44 a head (they add tip for 6 or more people). Very disappointing. THEN at 10pm sharp, they turn the lights right up - to get rid of you. How rude!! This was despite the fact we arrived at 8 and that it was 9pm before they finally got our mains there. Most of us agreed we wouldn't go back.

Interesting!

I went on a Tuesday night with a group of six. We were seated at a nice big table by the owner. The service was nice from Silvia and the owner came by to visit with us during our dinner. We ordered several different dishes to share which was fun. We really like the chicken dish - can't remember the name, and the lamb. Silvia kept the fresh tortillas coming and they were great! It was an interesting change from the usual dining experience (tapas) and really fun for getting together with friends.
