| - Atmosphere: casual, bright, colorful with Mexican decor (big suns on the wall, wooden tables, etc). Maybe a dozen tables inside? The best part, however, is the back enclosed patio. On my second visit, we sat out here for brunch and it was one of my happiest memories. (okay, mainly for the food, but the nice warmth out there was wonderful too).
Service: Good (first visit). We arrived at 12:05 to find the door still locked, with their opening time of 12, but the girl was less than a minute to let us in. She was the only human we saw. Two of us were the only customers for the first 15-20 minutes, then a family of four arrived, and no one else for the hour-ish we were there. I figured it was a FRIGID January Sunday, most people not in the mood to venture outside. (second visit: much of the same).
Menu: Nom nom nom!! I could tell from looking at the menu online, that I would have no trouble finding something to order. We were especially hungry upon arrival, which makes it even harder to pick something when most things on the menu sound good. Started with drinks (mango & lime frozen margaritas with 1.5 oz tequila - very good). Cheese fondue appetizer was AMAZING. Mozzerella (strange) came in a small bowl with warm, soft tortillas to dip, pico de gallo on the side. I cannot explain this, but I put the cheese & pico in a tortilla to eat taco-style, and it tasted similar to a Big Mac to me. It was almost overwhelming. I do not get this. Firstly, I'm vegetarian and haven't had a Big Mac in a long time. But the specific flavor I do remember, and even though this didn't have any Big Mac ingredients, it was awesome to me. I've tried to duplicate it at home and failed miserably a few times. Entrees: the veg Enfrijotadas were incredible. I don't know really what separates them from an enchilada, maybe that they were soft tortillas, with beans & cheese on top vs ONLY cheese? The peppers, zuchini & cauliflower inside were cooked to perfection. Side of delicious Mex rice (which had a slight chicken flavor, unfortunate for me, but I didn't say anything), and other side of salad with the 3 stuffed tortillas. I was painfully full, but forced myself to clean the plate, as it was too good. The other person with me ordered the Camarones Infierno and said it was amazing. (tiger shrimp sauteed in homemade extra hot sauce with rice, salad & tortillas). There was a lot of the sauce leftover after the shrimps were eaten, so you could take this to go and use it as a chip/bread dip later in the day if you wanted. Fried ice cream for dessert was about par with what you'd expect - a big scoop of vanilla with choice of chocolate/caramel/strawberry sauce, fresh strawberries on top.
Would I go back??? OH yes. Grateful this is not in my neighborhood or I may have a new addiction.
