The beans definitely were a bit light. Service was great. Lots of help. Nice place to visit and a decent dinner crowd. I would say we give it another try.

The steak was bland, chewy, and like small nuggets. The tortillas were dry and undercooked. The queso dip was too salty and the flavor was less cheesy than one might expect; I'd bet it was either a processed cheese or canned sauce. Now, the cheese quesadilla was quite nice and it's side of rice was very good. We also tried their wings, mango habanero and parmesan garlic. Both were excellent, although I'd like more heat from the habanero. They were deep fried in clean oil and retained the crispiness when served; just the way they should be. They were sauced appropriately. We shared our disappointment and delight with thee server who was empathetic and apologetic. I'm not sure what to make of the cost at $50. Seemed high for the quality, quantity, and everything being ala carte. I'm also not so sure about the ambiance. They had plenty of tvs on the walls, and I just don't like that outside a sports bar. The place was clean and that says a lot.

We were greeted immediately and given menus. They have a wide selection of margaritas, as well as wine and beer. I chose a cherry margarita, and it was great! We started off with the dip sampler (salsa, guacamole, and queso). Guac needed salt, but was good otherwise (7/10). Queso has some spice to it, and was great (8.5/10). I had the Fajita Trio and it was very good - a solid 8/10. Spouse had the Beef Quesadilla and said it was also very good - 8/10. I took about half of my fajita to go and also brought home a piece of Piña Colada Cheesecake. It had crushed pineapple and cherries on top and was delicious (8.5/10) - the perfect ending to a great meal! Overall an 8/10 - would definitely eat here again.

They're creative, colorful, different, and freaking amazing. Half the fun is seeing what comes out next because some of this stuff is almost too cool to eat or drink... almost!
