Ok the food is always amazing the times I have been there, but we were wery dissapointed with the outside seating arrangements there. Basically it's a big tent with airconditioning which is not very charming unfortunatelly because when I want to sit out side I want to be outside and not in an extended outside tent thingy.

The best Mole I have ever had! The people there are super nice and very accommodating we showed up at 11pm and they were more than happy to feed us even though it it seemed like it would delay them from going home at an reasonable hour. They don't have a liquer license so bring some drinks with you they don't charge a cork fee! Great place and very inexpensive.

I get the impression that this restaurant, which specializes in Oaxacan cuisine, took some time getting on its feet. The first time I went, I had a great mole and tasty ceviche, but my husband was less than thrilled with his enchiladas, which cost more but didn't seem substantially better than the offerings at La Taqueria a few blocks away. Overall, we weren't impressed enough to go back for quite awhile. After my second visit, I have a much more positive impression. The space (which was outrageously packed the first time) turns out to be cozy and pleasant, suitable for a date. The pico de gallo that came while we were waiting for our order was fresh and delicious, with great heat, and in general, I felt like the quality of the ingredients had been elevated since our first visit, with generous portions of dark crisp greens where previously we had had iceberg lettuce. And while the price of entrees is still a bit higher than in some other Mexican spots, it is certainly not unreasonable for the portions and quality of the food, especially considering that it is BYOB, and they are thus not profiting from beverage markups. I'll definitely be back.
