“So happy to have found this place. The food was delicious, the portions generous, and the service attentive but not hovery. We enjoyed the enchiladas with mole and a house special carnitas w/ a mango plantain salsa. Tasty traditional margarita (rocks) and a really good mango margarita. Loved the tres leche cake. One of the best I've have ever had. And a 10 presentation.”
