| - I went here for Date Night with the boy. I'd never been, and he couldn't remember if he'd ever gone before or not. It was a Thursday just before 7, and it was extremely busy. We still got a table right away, fortunately, because we were both ravenous. The table was not a good one. I can't say I care for the way the restaurant is laid out. We were smack dab in the middle of the room, which meant my chair was mere inches from another diner's chair, and waitstaff was always squeezing by. It was very noisy, too. Additionally, our waitress was training another waitress, but they weren't always together...so, they would each come check on the table, causing us to be interrupted an awful lot.
We each got a margarita on the rocks (very good, but pricey), and chips & salsa. The chips & salsa were less than $2, and while I'm used to having them included in my Mexican restaurant eating excursions, they were well worth the added expense. I believe both the chips and salsa are homemade, and are extremely tasty.
The boy wound up getting the pork burrito, I had the chicken & mushroom burrito. It was a Burrito Bonanza! Surprisingly, both of the burritos tasted different. Mine had the very prevalent flavors of roasted chicken and corn. His was more delicately smoky. Both very good. The portions were enormous, as they included black beans and rice. I was pleasantly surprised that the black beans were just that, and not actually refried goo. There was so much food that I couldn't finish, and that was a welcome change of pace.
Overall, it was a positive experience. I just wish the atmosphere had been different. The food in and of itself merited at least 4 stars.
