    The fajita skillet was so hot that the plate cracked. The manager came by to make sure we were OK (which we were) and told us our dinner was on the house. Top notch food and customer service.

    Ready to kick it up a notch? Then try their habanero salsa. I love spice but this is something you really need to be ready for! Fiery delicious!

    The chicken enchiladas are yum, so is the chili relleno..team that with the passion fruit margarita and life is good!

    I really think the quality of the service depends on your server, ours was great! Find a good one and I'm sure they'll never serve you wrong. Host stand is rude however. The guacamole is delicious!

    Sit at the bar and have the bartenders recommended house made infused tequilas. Amazing!

    This place is great if you enjoy over-priced Mexican food, in a shopping mall setting.

    Very good upscale Mexican restaurant. Their fajitas are good, and the portions are rather large.

    Margaritas served in a pint glass with minimal tequila is your first hint that you should go elsewhere. 😕

    Chips are hearty and flavorful. The freshly made guacamole will spoil you.

    Definitely save room for dessert! Try the "teaser" sized desserts if you can't decide on just one - I recommend the Tres Leches cake: Delicious!!

    Much better dining option in Tyson's corner. Sangria and frastini were extremely watered down. I suggest sitting at the bar if getting a cocktail.

    The food is delicious, but server has dropped the beans on my jeans and all I got for this was a mumbled apology.

    Standard Mexican fare but with a twist. Service was pleasant but slow - it seemed as if they weren't expecting the amount of business on this day.
