We started with margaritas on the rocks no salt. We did not get the tourist pour for sure. Halfway through we were both tripping the light fantastic. We both enjoyed their chips and dipping sauces as we waited for our entrees. Hats off to our server who when asked if he recommended the ceviche a quick negative nod steered us away. I ordered el pastor tacos with seasoned mahi mahi fish. I was on the fence about this dish but man was it good. Nothing like fresh fish and homemade tortillas! Plus one ordered beef enchiladas and she exclaimed these were the best she ever had. I tried them and they did have a little spice to them but they were darn good. For dessert we asked for a smooth sipping tequila (don't judge we were on beach time) and a beer to split. This reasonably priced local resposado was as smooth as a baby's behind. Service was attentive throughout and we had a great conversation with our server regarding the town. What a nice way to while away an afternoon on their patio.

Usually when I'm in Mexico I can't miss, but for some reasons I was having a hard time finding reasonably priced authentic food. I did not have any chili beans, but the chicken burrito was excellent.
