Don’t judge a book by its cover. This very new Mexican restaurant is tucked away in an Uptown mini-mall, just a few doors down from a pawn shop and two fast food chain restaurants. You forget that as soon as you walk in. The decor is sophisticated, with dark red walls and stylish black and white photos. Every single table was full while we were there and everyone looked to be having a great time.
In addition to ambience and friendly service, the food is also delicious and affordable. We had a queso fundido* appetizer that I loved and the mole sauce is wonderful. And it’s BYOB. High five.Oh, and don’t be fooled by the seemingly meat-centric menu. They can make most items vegetarian and are happy to accommodate. If you have a hard time eating Mexican food without a margarita to wash it down, bring the fixins’ and they’ll fix ‘em.
*Queso fundido is awesome because it makes eating an entire plate of melted cheese totally acceptable. The trick is that the name of the dish is in another language. Smoke and mirrors, my friends. Smoke and mirrors.
