We were a large party and had no issues being seated quickly. Being only midly proficient in English was some what of a struggle. The appetizers were really good. We had the fish tacos and a vegan in our group had the squash blossom quesadillas and loved them so much they ordered the same for their main. We also had the table side guacamole and salsa. Fun to see made but the table felt that it could have been made spicier and maybe they took the heat easy on us based on being Americans. The main dishes were all good. From seabass cooked in a plantain leaf to lamb in a plantain leaf to a full fried snapper and a pork dish. The sides were easily just simple rice and beans and uneventful. The drinks were not what we were used to either. All in all I'm not mad that we ate here but I don't know that I would seek it out.

I liked the nuevos arevueoos, which is basically scrbled eggs, and it includes a side of pasta and tortillas. I also ordered a side of the fruit dish which had all different types of fruits. I took that to go because the eggs and pasta were enough for me. I noticed that they have various types of chicken platters, and perhaps I will return for lunch sometime. The I side of the restaurant was a little bit modern, and all of the wait staff were dressed professionally. It was I retesting to see how busy they were just a day before Christmas.

I chose the chilaquiles sencillos, it's a smaller sized portion with a side of black beans. I thought the sauce had good flavor. You also get some bread to dip in the excess sauce. I also got a limonada, which was standard. Overall, I would recommend this place if in the area.

The food here is amazing, and their salsa verde for the enchilada was TO DIE FOR. I would of liked to get everything covered in salsa verde sauce, haha. What I liked best was the flavor of everything, and how prompt they were to get our orders and bring our food out. Anything you order here is good. I know that I ordered one of each to try everything for that exact reason! 1 enchilada. 1 flauta. 1 sope. The SOPE was definitley a serving for 2; it was huge!

I must say that the prices have increased and that was dissapo in noting since the food was good, but I was not feeling so great as all the other times.
