You might want to reconsider taking a client here. We were having a good conversation when they served our entrees. My client was talking to me as I took my first bite of the Pork Barbados. I had to apologize for zoning out on what he said because my mind totally left the conversation to focus on the complex, multitude of flavors on my tongue. Amazing. Mind blowing. Great service. The ambiance is good for business otherwise.

It's really nice restaurant with a warm environment that's friendly and easily accessible. The menu is not complicated or overdone and the food items were very delicious. They offer many types of hot sauce, but I'm not strong enough for the really hot stuff. I will definitely eat here again given the opportunity.

Pretty good Mexican restaurant overall. The prices are great overall, but some of the sides are just okay for the price. There is also usually a wait so it would be a great idea to call ahead and try to make a reservation if possible, or the wait is usually 30 minutes to an hour if you don't mind the wait.

Fun little place with good food drinks and service. Try the spicy chocolate desert. It's one of the downtown restaurants I've wanted to eat at and was not disappointed.

Always delicious and they have El Tesoro tequila! Expect a wait if you go for early dinner.
Update Nov 2021. The Tequila selection is about the best in the city and the Mezcal selection is also good. One of the best places for drinks and bar bites. Mike or Steve can guide you in your agave explorations and you will be happy you tried those new spirits.
