I Had to go to the bar to even pay the tab .. needless to say she didn't work.for her tip so we left nothing ! worse service I've ever experienced and the food wasn't nothing to talk about.. my daughter took 2 bite of her food and said it taste funny ... it was a grilled cheese. Don't recommend

Unable to get a reservation, we took our chances and dropped by for brunch at about 1pm. We were told there would be a wait of one hour but could look for seats at the bar. That room was full and I inquired about the table for four outside that was empty and they told us we could take it! Strange that the hostess does not keep track of those tables, but we enjoyed the spot, although it was a very hot day. The special strawberry/habanero guacamole was delicious but the queso fundido was strangely flavorless. The black beans were very good, the orangy ones not so much. I had ceviche which was plentiful enough for a main course. The pork tacos were very good.

The menu is consistently fresh and features a variety of local ingredients. Whether you're looking for brunch, lunch, or dinner, all the options are fantastic. If you're craving delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine along with great drinks, this is the place to go. They regularly introduce fresh and new items. Rick Bayless is undoubtedly one of the best chefs around.
