Great food! We got Chicken Tinga Tacos and Sirloin enchiladas. My $5 Margarita was beautifully presented. There being a slight chill in the air, I was given a cozy, bright red throw to put over my legs. A delightful and tasty experience.

The staff were very attentive but not at all bothersome. Each dish was delicious. We started with the onion flatbread followed by seasonal squash soup and salad. Our main was beet rubbed salmon, which we shared. It was cooked perfectly, very moist. We plan to return.
