| - Ok, so this isn't your abuela's super secret mole sauce and it's not Ninfa's. It is the best of the Mexican family restaurants that have sprung up all over the West side (joy!).
We had barely touched cheek to vinyl when a waiter presented chips and salsa. The salsa was really good-- a bit garlicky, fresh cilantro, smoky chili flavor. The service remained extremely fast and very friendly.
I had the mahi mahi salad. The fish was a bit well cooked, but obviously fresh and tasty, covered in a mild chili sauce. The salad was topped with fruit and lovely, lovely, oh yeah, chimichurri. Herself had the kid's beef burrito, which featured really tasty ground beef (yes, I know, whatever) that was very flavorful, and not drenched in sauce to the point of soupiness, as at some places. Mon cher chou had a chicken enchilada-- again the chicken within had some tasty seasoning and sauce, but was not drenched. And yes, the margaritas were huge.
NB: f you want to eat here, go at an off hour. This was once an old Pizza Hut. There are only about 20-25 tables, most of which only seat 4. There is always a line out the door Thursday-Sunday nights.
