    The food is consistent, even tho the chain has been sold. Corporate, I assume? it does not change my opinion of the place and especially the food . Minor point, the chips could be better as the salsa is a 10.

    I haven't been there in years but fond memories brought me back. It has gone down hill. My carnitas was dry and tasteless, the "signature" margarita was bland. My guest's mole was sweet. Not going back.

    Very good guacamole. Hit or miss margaritas. Excellent salsa and chips. Understaffed and the clean up is so late that the birds have a big feast outside while you're dining.
