When we pulled up and saw the crowd, we thought we had found a good restaurant. TINY waiting area. Does have a nice ambience and good margaritas (but not big and not much alcohol for $5). Paid $3 for chips and salsa. My date had 2 cheese and onion enchiladas with rice and beans($8.50). The rice and beans were excellent (brown Spanish rice and black beans). The enchiladas were extremely wide (read: overstuffed) with a ricotta-like cheese. Didn't taste Mexican/Southwest and he didn't like. I had the same dish with 1 shrimp and 1 spinach enchilada. Spinach had little flavor. Shrimp was tasty. Spicy sauce on the enchiladas was not spicy; it barely registered. Very small tables; you probably shouldn't come with more than 4 people that would be pushing it. Overall, fresh and interesting choices but not enough flavor or the wrong kinds of flavors; we won't go back.
Pros: Ambience
Cons: Wait, Small tables, Cheese enchiladas
