| - I went to this tucked-away spot because it was across the street from my brother-in-law's place. When I walked in, I was instantly transported back to the 70's: dark and heavy wood, wood paneling, retro colours. While in some ways it might seem a little shabby, I found it deeply comfortable and inviting.
The server was super friendly and kind, and made sure to pace our meals out really nicely.
The guacamole here is made to order, each and every time. It was so good! It had cilantro, tomato, a tiny bit of onion, a bit of lime, and of course buttery avocados. (Since it is made to order every time, you could ask to leave out some of those ingredients if you don't like any of them.) Oh, and the chips tasted fresh and house-made, too.
Our meals were all really good. The chicken felt fresh and home-made, the cotija (I think?) on our meals was generous and tasty.
Oh and the margaritas! So delicioius -- and pack a punch, too. I only had a little bit because I was going to be driving, but I could have gotten myself in some trouble with those things. The rest of the table split the pitcher quite happily. They also made a virgin mango "margarita" for my 13-year-old, and he loved it.
We didn't have any dessert, but my coffee was decent. I thought I caught a whiff of cinnamon, but I wasn't sure. It's not that strong, but it tasted good enough.
Aside from all this the prices were more than fair. I don't remember actual dollar amounts, but I remember thinking that for four dinners, a pitcher of margaritas, etc. that it was pretty good.
I definitely want to go back to this place and try other things besides the enchiladas I had. I wish it were closer to home!
