| - TL;DR: A fancy Mexican restaurant located next door to a strip club - Sapphire. No, really. It literally is right next door. I thought my friend was joking at first. It's pretty good though, clean, has awesome service and is open 24/7. The only caveat is that it's on the expensive side.
Within seconds, we were quickly escorted to our tables and got complimentary chips. Our waiter, Juan, was extremely accommodating throughout the entire meal. He made sure our drinks were refilled constantly and came to check on us routinely throughout our lunch.
I ordered the shrimp tacos with refried beans and cilantro rice rice for $18.50. I really, really enjoyed my dish. The meat was super tasty and you could tell it was well-seasoned from the kitchen. I could taste the citrus marinated grilled wild Pacific shrimp with every bite mixed with fresh organic guacamole, organic cabbage & pico de gallo. There was also a dash of chipotle ranch dressing, which made it even more mouth-watering.
Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good Mexican food. We checked-in on Yelp and even got a free Flan courtesy of the chef, Paco. He even came out of the kitchen to introduce himself, which was awesome. It seemed a bit staged though -- you know, us redeeming a coupon on Yelp and him coming outside to greet us. But hey, it was a nice touch in my opinion.
