    Stuffed vegetarian Chile was really good. Vegetables were cooked but still had good crunch. All sauces were tasty. Liked chicken tamales too. Fish tacos were nice as well.

    Staff was friendly, portions were nice, not too small, not too big. NOTHING was served hot (temperature wise) but we had theater Tix, so not enough time to send back. My companion had the mole with steak which he really liked. I had the stuffed pepper with chicken, nuts and fruit. None of the "stuffing was seasoned and the chic was overcooked - and seemed precooked. The sauce served with it was good.
