The Scene
Warmth oozes from all sides of this Mexico-inspired eatery. An expansive wooden patio leads to a covered seating area, and then to an intimate dining room with a fireplace. Neighborhood folks gather at the wooden tables; service wavers from friendly to nonchalant.
The Food
For starters, try the guacamole served with fried plantains and precariously stacked nachos, which succeed at satisfying that munchy Tex-Mex craving. After appetizers, the menu takes two directions: cheap taco-stand eats and more expensive entrees. From the stand, choose tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas or burritos--all satisfy with tender meat and generous serving size, although salsas for topping must be ordered separately. Entrees take on multiple incarnations. The sweet pineapple salsa almost overpowers the steak fajitas, and the veggie tamale lacks flavor, though a lively side of palm salad helps. Skip dessert and order another strong margarita instead.

We arrived at a place I once used to admire for late night noshing. Our table was visited 15 minutes after being seated and once our order was taken we never saw the waiter. I am usually forgiving of mistakes or overwhelming table load but this was not that case. I don't even know the waiter's name---that is how little time he spent at our table, which was overrun with ants. Food was burned and basically slop. Avoid at all costs...

The main reason we didn't like our dinner might seem fickle but here goes - fajitas came out and looked alright chicken, assorted veggies, reasonably seasoned - we waited. A couple of tired tortillas showed up. Then nothing. Really? No sour cream, guac, pico de gallo, salsa, cheese, refried or pinto beans nothing - just a chicken medley for your dry enjoyment on a tortilla, add to that the lack of chips and salsa when you first sit down (a bit of a shock too). Margarita's weren't bad but maybe its just cos we are condiment people but we won't be back. Am I overreacting? Open to comment.
