In Short
The bright, spacious room is all greens, reds and yellows, with painted terra-cotta walls covered with an assortment of tchotchkes. The menu features plates of chicken tamales, enchiladas with sour cream sauce, and jumbo shrimp stuffed with Jack cheese and jalapenos, wrapped in bacon and grilled. Desserts include the cajeta: a large ball of vanilla ice cream rolled in toasted coconut and pecans.

I've gone there a few times a month for the last 3 years. Sure it's not the most authentic place, but it's clean, the food is GREAT, and it's served surprisingly fast even when it's busy (which is all the time). Try the tamales, pochogo do pollo, and the crispy tacos. For the drink, skip the swirl and go for the Uncle Julio's Gold Margarita.

I don't know what everyone is complaining about! I love this place and actually order extra chicken enchiladas to bring home with me for later. The service isn't about kissing your butt; however, they are extremely attentive. The always refil my drinks promply, make sure I have enough sauce and refill the free chips as well. Ask for some chips and salsa to take home for free. And order the Swirl for a drinK!! Yum!
Pros: Enchilada Sour Cream Sauce
Cons: Not a great first date spot
