    Prices comparable to Dallas for food where the quality of the basic ingredients is questionable. A tuna steak entree was tough and tasteless. Apparently previously frozen. Margaritas were anemic. Cazuela de Cochinita (appetizer) was underseasoned, On the bright side, tortila soup was richly flavorful. Service attentive. Being right next to 5th avenue at a busy junction makes the occasion noisy.
