Initially quiet when I arrived shortly after 5:00 p.m., it did pick up as the night progressed.
When I walked up, I was greeted by an inviting outdoor patio area decorated with pumpkins for a nice fall vibe, complete with heat lamps for the chilly nights. The menu and cocktail "specials" are also posted on an easel as well.
The establishment is clean yet seems it can't decide if it's a sports bar (there are multiple TV's playing sports channels) or a slightly upscale Mexican restaurant. While not "real Mexican food" as the signage proclaims, it's a pleasant spin on Tex-Mex.
Smartly presented chips and salsa were top-notch! Warm, crispy fried tortilla chips filled to the brim in a stylish metal cone holder with three small types of salsa in a custom "flight deck paddle" were brought table-side shortly after being seated.
We had the Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas Suizas($15.25), which was described as "Our traditional Enchilada Suiza sauce topped off with sour cream & onion." The generous serving of 4 enchiladas was filled with chicken, although on the dry side, but they were swimming in plenty of the suizas sauce to help a bit.
Slightly disappointed that the side dishes came in very small ramekins, as typically in other places, you get a fair amount on the plate itself. In this case, the rice was bland, but the beans were good with a nice smoky flavor.
The server, "Ricardo," reserved in demeanor, however, was professional, polite, and courteous the few times he checked in on us.
The bathroom was a bit untidy, with paper towels strewn all over the floor, but the rest of the facility appeared clean.
Worth a return if passing by the area. read more
