    Comfortable seating

    Oh wow. Awesome. Authentic Food, comfortable vibe. Don't let the outside fool you. Some good cooking and gracious owners/cooks inside, along with bright and fun decor. Nachos supreme with ground chorizo a cheesy, flavorful start to the meal - enough for four. Al Pastor Burrito spot on with the perfect, browned crisp to one side of the tortilla wrap. So much flavor in all of the dishes - and a perfect spicy salsa. Great prices too. Go and enjoy!

    Great take-out, had both Tacos and Burritos on different nights, both were very good.

    This place is a gem! A sister to the one in Millerton. It's Authentic and made to order. Worth the price!

The place is huge, with a couple of separate areas (the bar, the sunken dining room, the regular dining room). If you're as lucky as we are, you'll be put in the Aztec Room, a private-ish spot with a lazy susan (Susanna here, I believe). There's also a fun waterfall by the entrance, and you get to walk over some water on the way in. We sat down quickly, and were treated very well by a number of servers. We quickly had excellent chips and salsa, and guacamole following shortly behind. From there, we ordered a large variety of Mexican and not-so-Mexican dishes, and most were very solid. My daughter wanted some steak, so I rolled with the Carne Asada which was quite flavorful, but a surprisingly small portion for $40. My wife's LPA salad was exactly what we were expecting (solid), as were the traditional Mexican chicken fingers my other daughter wanted. The best thing I tried was actually some chicken mole enchilada situation that one of my friends got, and another person was quite pleased with his enchiladas with Colorado sauce. All in all, a good spot for a large group if you're in the mood for Mexican.

So we went early…read moresince they don't take reservations, boy oh boy even at 5 PM, The place was already packed. They don't have enough parking spots so you park on the lawn on the side of the driveway. I really don't like Mexican restaurants but the guacamole and the appetizers were on point and so were the dishes. I can say that this is the first Mexican restaurant that we really liked so that means we are definitely coming back again. The place can get loud so get ready for that experience. It's not your fine dining formal place, you're here to party Mexican style.

    The surrounds were a clear 5 stars. The tiered outdoor seating and view of the gardens and…read morereservoir were undeniably lovely. However, tables were wobbly and sticky throughout (which one could easily ignore underneath a white tablecloth, such as those being used for a special event on the lawn). Such things don't bother us all that much, but we did note the dramatic contrast of such kingly natural surrounds against the humble interior decor. Overall decor: 4. Family friendliness earns an easy 5 stars. We saw plenty of little kids (there's a bit of space to run around on the lawn), medium sized kids, and a few teenagers, to our great pleasure. Inclusive spaces like this make me feel at home. We have been told in the past that at less busy times, we could probably dine with the pup at an outdoor table. (Given the uncertainty, we've never tried, heading instead to confirmed dog-friendly places.) Service: 3 stars. It took quite a while for anyone to greet us outdoors or indoors. After waiting for some time indoors, a languidly indifferent hostess sent us back outdoors to wait. That same languidly indifferent hostess also made a number of attempts to upsell us on various things (e.g. more cocktails, bottled water, more appetizers, desserts) in ways that felt pushy and unpleasant. That said, we saw so many runners scurrying around at top speed to serve food and drinks. They really worked their tails off and deserve recognition. The food was 2 stars, with heavy reliance on pre-made, frozen ingredients. What we tried of it was just utterly mediocre. Frozen vegetables were boiled, then briefly sauteed with oil and salt. When it's the middle of summer, there's just no excuse for this. Seafood had the fishy nose and tough texture of previously frozen seafood. Enchiladas were not offensively bad, just very processed Mexican American fare, made with sauces from a jar and of course pre-fab tortillas. The prices would be excellent if one considered only the quantity of the food, not the quality. The latter is roughly equivalent to what you'd find at a diner. Note that there are no prices listed on the drinks menu. That might dissuade some from ordering drinks (or as many drinks) as they otherwise might. The one we ordered was commendably strong, though made with bottom shelf liquor, and to our happy surprise not too sweet. It was only $12. I recognize the beauty and appeal of the surrounds. You'll certainly want to sit outside if weather permits. And I deeply appreciate the family friendly vibes. But... the food is a pretty big ding for us. There is truly excellent Mexican / Latin American food to be had nowadays, even in nearby Danbury. This is not it.
