I kind of missed the vibe of the old place though. When we arrived they tried to seat us at a little dark table on a back wall in the back. Nope, can't have it. They had plenty of tables in the bar area set but said they didn't have service in that area. We waited for a better table which only took few minutes. Our waiter was pleasant and helpful. At his suggestion we both ordered one of the Molcajete bowls. It's a lava rock bowls that comes out scorching hot and stays that way. One Molcajete Mexicano which had beef, pork, and shrimp with peppers and onions. The other was the Carne Borracha. It's beef with onions and peppers in a red sauce. They come with corn or flour tortillas. Beans and rice are the sides.We started with the table side guacamole and it was delicious. In a short time the bowls came out. It's quite a presentation. Bubbling and packed with food. Both dishes were excellent. The margaritas were good as well. They make their own juice mixes, all fresh ingredients. None of that bottled stuff. It a great place for a Mexican dinner. I took a star off for the seating issue. Otherwise it a 5 star for us.

Tiny bar in the corner. Service was great. Caring and quick. Chips and salsa/bean dip were ok. Ordered a side of guacamole which was small and nothing special. Margarita was huge but didn't taste any tequila. Chicken tacos came in that ever so popular, but simple, processed hard shell. Dreaming of the days and places where hard shells are fried fresh and not out of a box..... ho hum. Standard rice and beans. My son had the carne asada burrito.

We went on a Friday night and it was incredibly busy--which I always take as a good sign. Even with the crowd, they had us seated within ten minutes and quickly got menus in our hands. The menu had so many great options that it was almost overwhelming (in the best way). I ended up ordering a chicken chimichanga and an enchilada, and both were absolutely delicious--so good that I've already asked my friend if she wants to go back again tonight. We also ordered drinks, and those were just as enjoyable. The staff took great care of us, checking in and making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Overall, such a great experience and definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. Tons of places to sit whether you're a small party or a big one.
