the high cuisine of Mexican food 1/3/2008

I've been here at least five times, have always left happy. I would go more often but it's pretty damned expensive, $12 margaritas for example. Too bad it's on Santana Row. The fresh guacamole made at the table is great. The tortillas are the best I've had outside of Mexico, I imagine a little old lady in the back making them by hand. I always get the Carnitas. If you've never had nopales (cactus) you should definitely try it, it's like a mild bell pepper flavor and it blends well with the rest of the food. This is a good place to go with a few other people and order a bunch of dishes family style. The food is more traditional Mexican cuisine, so that might throw you off if you are used to Chevy's/El Torito/Pedro's or typical taqueria fare. They have an awesome tequila selection, it's fun to get a few shots with friends and do a little comparison tasting (just be ready for the bill). They have Dos Equis Amber on tap, one of my favorite beers. Service has always been good for me, so I'm surprised to see the negative reviews, but I usually go on the weekends. Pros: traditional mexican food, great tequila selection Cons: expensive more
