The Scene
Strings of colored lights, decor from the Mexican revolution and Latin music quickly establish a vacation-like vibe as diners work their way to the bar or wait for a dinner table. The dining room bustles as families and groups come together for a celebratory meal. Servers hurry back and forth, bringing endless baskets of chips and stopping rather frequently to sing their version of the birthday song to yet another table. Service is a bit rote and impersonal.
The Food
A large menu features everyone's favorite traditional Tex-Mex meals. Start with a plate of nachos, topped with mounds of ground beef, beans and cheese. Platillos Combinados feature combinations of tacos, enchiladas, tostadas and tamales, each served with rice and beans. Beef or chicken fajita platters arrive sizzling hot, with fresh tortillas on the side to make your own tacos. Classic Tex-Mex desserts include sopapillas, flan, cajeta and tres leches cake.
