    The food was really good. I had the ceviche which was very fresh tasting - my husband had the shrimp fajitas - it came with tasty accompaniments (crema instead of sour cream). The black bean soup was unique and superb. All we ate had an authentic flair to it. The salsa served with the chips was excellent and very different from the usual tomato based salsa. It had a nice bite that was flavorful and brought out the heat of the chilis used. I was going to buy a bottle of it for home but forgot by the end of the meal! Next trip!
