There was only a few other tables – likely one reason we got amazing service! The menu was simple, Mexican, and delicious. First off, the margaritas were fresh...and delicious. First the mango, then the tamarind. (Note that the Tarmariind does not have a great smell, but it does have a great taste. We ordered some salsa and guacamole—of course.

I could not eat it all. But it was fabulous. There was no room for dessert. Cost was 2250 pesos—included several drinks--and we literally brought over half our entrees home for tomorrow. There wasn’t a single thing I would not order again.
