Staying in town for business at a hotel down the street and I drove by this place a couple of times, never saw it NOT busy... so of course I gotta hit up the joint and see what they're serving up!
I walked in on a Saturday about 6:30 PM and was immediately greeted by the hostess. This place is HUGE - and it was packed, so it was very loud inside. I asked if I could be seated on the patio, which they were only too happy to do and let me pick where I wanted to sit. If you're going for happy hour, the bar is to the left when you enter the restaurant, and the people there seemed to be having a great time.
My server, Emily, was prompt and very friendly, and the obligatory chips and salsa arrived within two minutes of sitting down. She took my drink order and allowed me time to peruse the menu, which has all of your standard Tex-Mex favorites but a bit more elevated. You won't find a Speedy Gonzales on the menu here. The drinks are a little more expensive than you'd find at your average Mexican spot, as well.
I went with one of my standby orders, the Tacos al Pastor, although the Lomo Saltados was calling out as well. I was expecting small portions given the price but I was surprised to see two platters arrive, one with the charro beans and rice, and another larger one with three HUGE tacos and an array of salsas to try.
The tacos were juicy, full of tropical flavor and had a little twist with pickled red onions as opposed to the white onions you usually see. Everything was very tasty, and for under $30 a person you get a LOT of food. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area - but the patio is a must, as it's just too loud indoors.
