My first experience - Our entire family of 6 visited this spot on a busy Thursday night and it was amazing. Food was the highlight of the night, and Alex, our waiter, made sure we had an enjoyable experience. We started off with a peach margarita with chips and salad. I had steak fajita and my wife had chicken enchilada. It was delish! My husband said to me – “We have to come back here again soon.” Three weeks later, we did.
Starting with the chips and queso here are probably the best chips and queso I've ever tried. I got the shrimp tacos, which came with rice and beans, and those too were all yummy. To finish it all, we tried their flan. I've never had Flan before, but it was superb. It's sort of a fancy restaurant/ bar, but you don't have to worry about dressing up. We went here on a weekend in the afternoon and didn't have to wait. The prices are a bit high, around $20ish for a plate. They even have some items that go for around $50+ like the fajitas. Parking is a bit difficult because this restaurant is located in downtown but it's definitely worth it.

About one month later, I was back again. Third time in four months. My hubby and I made a reservation for two and walked from the Dallas World Aquarium. When we came in Juan greeted us at the door. He was immediately warm and welcoming! We had made a reservation for outside but in the walk i decided I needed to be inside and they were very kind and accommodating. We sat in a comfy back corner booth and our drinks were brought out so fast! After some chips and salsa (that was fantastic flavor and kind of a thick soupy consistency-with just a hint of spicy), we ordered our enchiladas. The rice comes in a cute little pyramid shapes and is so delicious. I ate the rice and beans before I even touched my enchiladas! You can see in one of the photos just how cheesy those enchiladas are! Juan was our server as well and he brought the dessert out (on the house) for my birthday! I really can't tell you how kind the staff are here and how good the food is!
