If you want a cozy, delicious, high quality food experience with live piano music, this is the place for you! Come take a load off and enjoy this unique high quality Mexican style restaurant.

Saturday. I was curious if they were open as there wasn't a single car in the parking lot. They were. There wasn't a single customer inside and I was the only one the entire time I was there. Not a good sign. Good sized place with nice decor and very clean from what I saw.The first negative is you have to pay for chips and salsa. It's the only Mexican restaurant I know of that does that. One of the perks of Mexican restaurants is the complimentary chips and salsa! Here you'll pay $4. And they're disappointing. The chips were ok, but the salsa was very bland. I ordered the CARNE CON CHILE as my entree. The pork was super tender! The sauce on the pork was good, not great. At first I didn't like the flavor all that much. I don't know if it was vinegar in the sauce, but it had a heavy vinegar type taste to it. It did have a nice spicy kick which I enjoyed. The more I ate of it, the better I liked it. The beans and the corn tortillas were very good. For the price and the fact that you have to pay for average at best chips and salsa, I'd choose other options.
