| - I'm loving this new-ish addition to our dining options on the Strip. As annoying as all of the rigmarole that comes with casino dining can be (parking, walking for miles, finding the place, etc.), Chica made me forget that whole part almost instantly.
Stopped by close to closing time for dinner, and service didn't skip a beat. Beatriz was our lovely server who gave great suggestions and answered all of our menu questions in great detail with a genuine smile.
I got the Tamarind Guava Colada for starters. The most beautifully refreshing cocktail I've had in a while. Corn Lollipops came next; pretty basic elote style corn on the cob with braided husks for decoration, but no complaints. While my date's lamb looked stunning, my NY Strip was a righteously perfect medium well. BUT, the surprise show stealer was the mini quesadilla accoutrement next to Mr. Steak. Mushroom & some sort of melty bleu cheese flavor made it the best part. Also, who doesn't like legit molé instead of A-1?
An unexpected dessert platter appeared to cap off our first visit, reading 'Welcome'. Decadently rich chocolate & churro ice cream madness. Not only is this restaurant beautifully decorated (not to mention a danceably saucy latin soundtrack), but it's obvious that the staff takes pride in what they offer.
