Overrated

by berryberrysweet at Citysearch

This place is just OK. I tried it because of the great newspaper reviews and was disappointed. Six tiny shrimp swimming in bland sauce. I'd go elsewhere for the money

Not what I expected

by hirudina at Citysearch

The food was good, not amazing. The ambiance was nil- overly bright and way too crowded. I'd probably not go there again by choice.

Overpriced Mexican food

by sbrady at Citysearch

This restaurant receives many raves, but i thought that the food and drink for what they charge was very dissapointing. We have great mexican restaurants in this city and i would not quickly go back to this spot.

• Pros: good location
• Cons: expensive food not worth the price

Not really worth it

by drherron at Citysearch

Overall, I didn't feel like this place deserved the hype. The service was great, my halibut was good, but the shrimp with it weren't fully cooked. The margaritas were nice, but the server tricked us with a $2 each upgrade so they ended up costing $10 each which is so ridiculous for the small size of them.

Skip the wine idea

by eatallover at Citysearch

Sorry but wine just doesn't go with Mexican food, even though these guys say so. I've eaten here many times and the main courses are very authentic and good, if your looking for a burrito don't come here or you will be very disappointed, this is the real mexican food. The wait staff is pompous and needs to be replaced, the seating is tight and it is a bit noisy, and yeah add some tequila to the margarita's. The appetizers are expensize and not worth it. The main entries are very good, as are the desserts. I would reccomend this over Rick Bayless's places though.

• Pros: Good main dishes, authentic
• Cons: staff, staff, staff
