Overpriced Food

we went to this restaurant, after passing by many times. The location is good the parking is good, the service very below average. cleanness poor, food average, price very expensive. It doesn't match the service and ambient. It's not realy a very sofisticated restaurant to be that expensive. The karaoke was good but now they change it to a more of English guy kind of host. Come on guys this is a Mexican Restaurant. they should be more of Mexican hambient, Mexican food, mexican music, why not a MEXICAN KARAOKE HOST?

Below average food, service good

We went there on a Saturday night, and the place was not jumping, which should have been our first clue. There were several hispanic groups eating there, so we were hopeful, but these hopes were dashed when we got the bland food. Ordinary, just -out- of- the- fridge enchiladas and tamales. Asked for more picante sauce and they still brought us bland stuff. I don't know what the hispanics were doing there! The only decent thing on the plate I had was the chile relleno - nicely done and flavorful. Also the side dishes were OK: steamed veggies- not overdone, and black beans. The server Alvaro was very attentive- but as for the overall experience, go to Burrito Express for really good food, and save some bucks. Our entrees were over 10 bucks apiece and worth about 2$ in flavor. Maybe we should have ordered the specials, like the Chile Colorado- less likely to be made up last week and warmed up.

• Pros: Attentive service and clean, simple surroundings
• Cons: bland, uninteresting food
