    They use iStockphoto images for their drink menus. How do I know? Because the watermark on the image says so :)

    Was good, but not 50 dollars for 2 people good. I can say the guac. Made at the table is definitely something to try if your gonna go here.

    It has been a long time since my last visit. Didn't like it last time at all. Food is better now and place is cleaner.

    They don't do a good job of honoring reservations. We finally got our table 30 minutes late. We weren't the only ones.

    Salsa is great. Guacamole was awful. Less flavor than plain avocado

    Food was good although service was extremely SLOW. We waited over 10 minutes for a drink order then another 10 to 15 minutes to order our entries.

    The guacamole sucks; it tastes like water.
