Beautiful inside. Server was funny and nice. I got the buffalo chicken quesadilla (I know, not typical) but it was sooo good. The salsa was also amazing.

Wow!! Frieda Khalo theme is authentic, food is out of this world, waiter was a dream. Only possible criticism is that the music was not very authentic and a little too loud. One of my favorite IC restaraunts.
