| - Came here with everyone and their grandmother to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Props to my friend for booking a 6pm reservation well in advance. This location is in D.C. Ranch, and it was easiest to find parking behind the restaurant in the Safeway parking lot. As I walked up, there was a cute photo booth set up, and a table with a quick bar that served margaritas for the happy hour crowd. Our party made it a point to get there a little earlier to be seated to take advantage of ordering drinks at happy hour prices. We also ordered queso, and guacamole for the entire table to share. Both the queso and guac with chips were very tasty. I ordered the Strawberry Coladarita, and although it looked amazing, it tasted more like a smoothie to me, with very little alcohol :( I ordered a two combo plate of a cheese enchilada and a beef enchilada- they got my order wrong and initially brought out two beef enchiladas first. After I corrected them, they brought out my correct order 5 minutes later. The red enchilada sauce unfortunately tasted very much like what you'd get straight out of a can. My friend who ordered the mahi street tacos requested to have her tacos heated up again because she mentioned they were cold. Another friend who ordered the shrimp tacos raved about her plate- there was a generous amount of shrimp in the tortillas. The atmosphere is very relaxed and casual and great for a small crowd. There was an acoustic musician who sang live, although his music choices were interesting for Cinco de Mayo (would have thought they would have played mariachi music to be more festive) There is also outdoor seating under misters along the patio. Our waitress was nice, but she was very overwhelmed waiting on several other tables aside from ours. Though this isn't the most amazing Mexican food I've ever eaten, this place is worth coming back if you wanted to hang out with friends,
