   The ambiance is great. Staff are friendly, attentive, and super knowledgeable. We both had a house salad( oddly included in entrees)- not very good, should have had the soup. Chips and salsa nothing great, but fine. My chimichanga was huge and pretty good- about 7 out of 10, pretty dry and under seasoned. Wife’s street tacos were better. Beer way overpriced at $8 for a 16 oz draw of any mediocre tap. Overall good but not the best Mexican dinner this month. We will be back , just not soon.

   This was second time at this New Mexican restaurant in the Summit shopping center. The first time we ate in the bar area and the second time in the dining area. Both meals were good and portions substantial. The house salsa has a good kick and the complimentary chips tasted fresh. Our waiter this last time was Keshawn, he was friendly with a great personality. The two issues we found in the dining room is the tables for two are very small and really can’t handle food orders that require multiple dishes. We also found the noise level pretty high , making normal conversation a bit of a challenge. The prices are a little high, but the quality and portions help off set the Scottsdale prices.

   A nice new welcome to our neighborhood. The wagyu fajitas were tender & presented nicely. The tacos were a but too soft to hold all. Guacamole could use more substance and seasoning. Frozen margaritas and non-alcohol beer not yet available. Excellent service.

   First time visit. Food was very good. Need to work on service a little. Entrees came out too quick. Barely started my appetizer when dinner appeared. Server was polite and attentive, Background music a bit loud

    Very attractive setting. Food was good. Forgot one of the entres which wasn’t needed because servings are generous. Need better heaters on the patio.
