The food was exceptional. Being from Texas, we love Tex-Mex. Everything we had was phenomenal! My small kids, husband and I were freezing, waiting for our table. The door kept opening and closing, so the cold air kept hitting us. One of the hosts, saw...Read More

Fantastic. Great service. The tamales were off the chart. More meat than masa. The Blackberry Margarita was SO good. My favorite of the salsa trio was the tomato marmalade. Oh my goodness.

I'm giving this place an overall rating of 5 stars because of Regan, my server. She was awesome. The food was good, not great for the prices. I ordered the 1947 Plato El Camino which is basically a Sampler. I was disappointed they didn't have burritos...Read More
