On a snowing February day, Mexican food sounded like comfort food. It usually does.
While my car was getting an oil change across the street, I stopped in for lunch.
The chips & salsa were on the table before I even pulled my chair out.
I looked the menu over but zeroed in on a favorite, enchiladas. Also found they offer them with not just red or green sauces but a chocolate mole! Yes please.
I gnoshed on chips and co.pared the two salsas, one slightly hotter but definitely better flavor, until my order arrived.
3 chicken enchiladas with a rich, flavorful mole, and the requisite rice and refritos.
All was tasty but there is a complaint: everything was less than optimal temperature. Beautifully presented but cool by about 20 degrees.
The layout is cozy and colorful, lizards & art on the walls, light colored wood, bright tabletops. Very inviting. The music, while authentic was too loud. Not distractingly loud for eating but intrusive enough to force people to lean closer to converse.

Great, great dining experience!
Okay, let's get the elephant out of the way first. This isn't some cheap taco place. This is quality and quantity Mexican food that is well worth the price.
I don't know what magic they've done to their beans, but they are incredible. I had a customized burrito, and it was amazing.
We sat near the kitchen and could see the real ingredients being used. This is not food out of a box served by a bored waiter, this is amazing food served by a wonderful staff.
I can not say enough good things about this visit; nothing any of us had was anything but yum.
Finally, if you can, save room for sopapillas for dessert!

What a fun place! The colors and decor are so pretty and colorful.
As soon as I tried the chips and salsa I knew the food was going to be great, and I was right!
The chips were hot, thick and crispy. The mild salsa had so much flavor. The hot salsa was pretty spicy!
I ordered the chicken fajitas and the char on the veggies was chef's kiss perfection! The chicken itself was flavored perfectly and was so tender. There's also a lot on there so I had leftovers.
My fiance ordered the Mexico City Burrito and it was huge and so good!
We also each got a street taco to try them and they were super good!
Service was great. She was super friendly and brought refills so fast!
We will definitely be back and I think this will be our new Mexican restaurant stop!

Absolutely delightful. Drinks were strong. I loved the sweet salsa, spicy was a bit spicy for me. The fajitas were absolutely scrumptious! I believe my boyfriend got tacos but either way he enjoyed his food.
