B-. Not a true authentic Mexican place, more if a south-west Mexican vibe and food. Had chicken quesadilla with rice. Good quality and flavor. Interesting menu. Great vibes and location.
My steak tacos and the straw-basil margarita great, but my friends split two appetizers that were really overpriced. $15 for an avocado ceviche and $17 nachos. That's ballpark up charge nachos.
I heard from the chef that they pulled tonight's special out of Taco Bell's dumpster...last Friday. The food here is horrible. Thankfully the drinks are strong.
