This restaruant comes closest to capturing what the nicest restaurants in Mexico have. \r
\r
I travel to Mexico on business a great deal. Rarely am I in tourist Mexico, where the restaurants cater to travelers, and offer cheap greasy food - excactly like most of the restaurants here. \r
\r
Mexico has so many flavors and styles, and yet we get force fed the same. I cannot tell you how many times I've been at some fantastic restaurant in Mexico saying, ""Why can't someone do this kind of restaurant in Atlanta.""\r
\r
Now someone has.\r
\r
This restaurant offers a wider variety of flavors, chiles and sauces than what you get in your typical mexican restaurant. The mole was the best I've ever had (better than the original chef at Zocalo). The tacos were fantastic, and the drinks were great.\r
\r
Our waiter did leave a little to be desired, and I will agree that the salsa portions are too small (and as one reviewer said, you have to break the chips apart to even get at the salsas). Give me more of those wonderful salsas!\r
\r
This is not cheap Mexican. This isn't a place where you go to get a 32 oz beer and white cheese dip with jalapenos. \r
\r
This is gourmet Mexican.\r
\r
If you want ""cheap"" Mexican (really Tex-Mex), go to Los Bravos about a mile a way. They have your chips and salsa, cheese dip and the standard run-of-the mill burrito, taco and enchilada special. I go there weekly. I like my cheap tex-mex, but I love that I now have an option for real authentic Mexcian gourmet.\r
\r
Actually, i'm convinced that half of the people who give this restaurant 2 or fewer stars thought they were going to go to some $6.99 a plate run-of-the mill cheap Mexican place with cheap margaritas and standard ""food service"" canned salsa. Sorry. \r
\r
Lime isn't that. It's a Mexican dining experience that I'm thankful to have in the neighborhood.\r
