Our food was amazing and the service was excellent! It was a beautifully mild September afternoon,…read moreand we decided to dine outside under a tent that was pitched in the restaurant's parking lot, near the entrance to the building. We were told to sit anywhere, and our server came by immediately to offer beverages. I ordered a michelada ($8) and it was the same awesome cerveza preparada that I'm used to enjoying back here at home at a few of my favorite Mexican restaurants. My friends ordered margaritas, and they looked similarly impressive, particularly a watermelon margarita. Its cloudy appearance looked to contain fresh watermelon puree instead of some weird watermelon liqueur, and it was adorned beautifully with fresh fruit. Dinner was outstanding. I enjoyed fish tacos ($11) for a lighter dinner, and they were served fresh, hot, and delicious. Besides sliced red cabbage, there was a condiment of pico de gallo that had some minced jalepeño, that was crunchy and super fresh, and topped with a creamy chipotle sauce. Absolutely perfect. Service was prompt and courteous, and while we were dining, staff came out to the tented patio to celebrate a few birthdays of other guests with joyful song, making the experience very festive. Prices were extremely reasonable, at least compared to where I'm from, the Twin Cities. The portion sizes were enormous. My friends had to request boxes to take home about 2/3 of their dinners. So normally an experience like this would warrant five stars! Well, our experience was slightly marred by waiting interminably for our server to collect our cards for payment. As it turns out, guests are expected to self-pay inside the restaurant at the counter. This requirement was not communicated to us, and I ended up walking in and out of the restaurant with a heap of paperwork to sort and pass out to everyone at my table to sign, then I had to return inside to give the pile of receipts and pens back to the cashier. This payment inconvenience is very inconsistent with the rest of the experience. It would never stop me from returning, obviously, because the food is so outstanding. But I may not remember to warn anyone of the unusual step of having to manually pay at a counter when the whole rest of the experience is full service.

I ordered a dish that came with steak, it came out and tasted like a block of salt in every bite. Just an overall poor experience. Server was nice, that seemed to be the only positive.

Great sausage, the cheese is some of the source of the sweetness as good mozzarella should be. We want to go back and try other items on the menu.
