| - We went here for dinner tonight because it was Arizona Restaurant week and they had a special menu. They were offering an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $29 a person. Unlike other restaurants, the items on this special menu were some of the same on their regular menu and really represented an outstanding value.
We both had the Yucatan Shrimp Coctail. One would have been enough to share but we each had eight very large, succulent, and very tasty shrimps. I had the Mahi-Mahi Tacos, which were excellent and the other person with me, had the Dr. Pepper Shortribs, which were tasty but a bit too fatty and heavy. Dessert was pretty good but we could barely eat it since we were stuffed.
If there was one shortcoming, the food came out too quickly. I noticed it was the same for all the other tables as well. The appetizer came out right away and before I know it, the entree comes out. Slow it down! It seemed like just a few minutes after we finished the entree, the desert came out. Needless to say, I felt the dining experience was too rushed.
Also, when we arrived, the dining room was virtually empty so I am not sure why they seated us and the 4 other groups of people who came in afterwards all in the back room. It was a bit odd, being in this room full with other people and seeing the main dining area, which in my opinion was much nicer being empty.
The staff however were all very gracious and friendly and as the food was really very good, I would definitely return again.
