Went here for dinner on friends recommendation and it did not disappoint. We typically stay on the strip so this was quite a venture out for us. I believe that there is a closer one to the strip...but we had to check out the "original" one. We came on a friday night at 6:30pm and found it starting to fill up.
Location/Ambience: About 15mins from the strip. Easy to find and plenty of parking in the back. The vibe was chill. Decorated in traditional mexican decor. Restrooms were clean. They would arrange tables to fit group size.
Service: This was the best service at a Mexican restaurant that I have ever received. we were greeted and shown to a table right away. As soon as we sat down, chips/salsa/beans (yes beans) were placed in front of us. Multiple people would stop by and ask if everything was ok. Great recommendations. Loved the fact that there was a lady making fresh tortillas in the corner. Food came out at a decent pace. Drinks came out super fast.
Food: The menu was definitely extensive. Nicely organized by proteins. LOts of things I wanted to try. I loved the chips/salsa/beans. NOt terribly spicy but got a nice heat to the salsa. I opted fro the Buey Al Cilantro (on server recommendation). I have never ordered a steak (rib eye) from a mexican restaurant, but this turned out to be fantastic. IT was cooked perfectly medium. But what made it awesome was the cilantro/onion/chile verde sauce. It was really really good. I would cut a strip, add some beans/rice, and eat it with their tortilla. I'm still thinking about that dish. Great value at $20 too. My wife got a seafood soup and that had some nice flavor as well. The mango margarita was a tad too sweet. But the original one was great.
I would definitely recommend this place. I would love to return and try out the other items.
