I am very perplexed with the reviews I've been reading about this restaurant. Quite frankly, this restaurant is not worthy of a second visit from me. From the get go, I was under the impression that the upcoming dining experience would not be satisfying. Judging by the plastic placards advertising spaghetti and meatballs and other ethnic dishes not typically associated with the genre of ""Mexican food"", I knew this restaurant was casting a fishing net to attract all types of taste buds. Poor experience began with being served the standard chips and salsa. Nothing wrong with that. It was expected and I looked forward to it.. What was not expected was the bland, watered salsa. The salsa had cubed ""nopales"" (cactus) and carrots. No salsa, no matter how authentic it claims to be, should have theses items in them. They didn't even bother putting some salt on the guacamole appetizer. That is the easiest thing to improve the taste of guacomle and they haven't figured that out. The margaritas we ordered were just a follow through of the salsa - bland. The restaurant was consistent. The steak and chicken tacos I ordered were tasteless, tough and terrible. I really don't know what some of the reviewers found appealing in the quality of the food for this restaurant. I am always looking for a new/old establishment to find some good tasting food. This place did not fit the bill; even considering how ""reasonable"" their prices are. It's only reasonably priced if the food is decent. Pros: ambience, decor Cons: food is simply not good more
