| - I've visited twice recently and was pleased both times. To me, the atmosphere is more like a quaint, rustic French bistro with a modern flair than it is Mexican, but pleasing, nonetheless. Pay attention to their hours of operation. If I had, I would've saved myself a trip on a Sunday, when they're closed. On one visit, there was only one customer in the restaurant, but that's likely to change once the movie theater upstairs (currently closed for renovations) reopens. The staff was attentive and friendly. In fact, if you're nice, the guy behind the bar may tell you a funny story about a trip he once made to a local movie theater!
My friend tells me the nachos (served warm) and salsa were very good and the Taco Salad was crisp and cool. I opted for the Carne Asada burrito which was very flavorful with its brown sugar and "hot and sweet onion pepper relish". Both entrees were large enough for leftovers to take home. If you decide to stop in, be sure to treat yourself to the Empanadas (served in a pair.) My only gripe is that the menu states they are made of "Flaky puff pastry" when mine seemed more like deep fried tacos. Overall, I loved the dish. Don't be fooled by what looks like Buffalo wing sauce topping. It's actually a "Yucatan BBQ sauce" which makes this a terrific sweet and salty dish (a plus in my book). If you're looking for traditional Mexican, you'll probably be disappointed, but if you're enthused by trying new and creative food, it'll be right up your alley.
Prices are fair to moderate, but worth it, especially when you factor in Happy Hour discounts. They're even better with Groupon!
Tip: Parking is conveniently located steps away in the garage behind the facility. Be sure to get "validated" before leaving the restaurant and your parking fee is waived!
