Taste: My sister and I went for lunch. We both love Mexican food, so we were eager to try this place. I ordered the Arroz con Mariscos, which is made with grilled shrimp and scallops. I asked if I could get it with just the scallops, and they accommodated my request. The scallops were plentiful and large and served over a bed of Mexican white rice, covered with melted cheese and ranchero sauce. This dish was excellent!

My sister ordered the Steak a la Mexicana. It is a thin T-bone grilled to perfection with a lot of onions and served with rice, beans and tortillas. She said it was delicious. Guacamole salad and sour cream come on the side of each entree.

Service: Excellent! Our waiter was very friendly and helpful.

Ambience: This restaurant is very clean and is decorated with sombreros and Mexican pottery and art. It's fairly big with booths but is very cozy.

Would you go back?: Definitely. This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant.
