| - Five stars evenly distributed:
1) Italian Blood Orange Margarita: Not too boozy, not too weak. Salt rim and lime on top.
2) Queso blanco: My favorite kind of melted cheese. I would've made this my entree with several baskets of chips. Luckily the group I dined with would've judged, so I ordered a "real meal".
3) Fajitas! Hot and steamy, like a meat facial, when they arrived at the table. It would've been good to split the dish... but I didn't. See point #2? I have little self control when queso is in the mix.
4) Good for groups: Having been a server in years past, large groups (8 or more people) are tough, no matter what. Rather than seat our crew of 16+ at one long table, they split us up into two groups of 8-9 each. Made for fast service and more intimate conversation. My water glass was never empty and food came out way faster than I had expected.
5) Location: Biltmore Fashion Park reminds me of the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto -- indoor/outdoor combo, upscale shopping, lush greenery around. Definitely feels upscale even though you are in a mall.
This would be a great spot for work dinners, lady date happy hours, or a spot to take picky parents. I'd be down for any one of these options, as long as queso is involved.
