Flavorful food, well presented, by very good wait staff. We arrived at opening and were the second couple seated, and it filled up quickly over the next hour (a Saturday night).

Tableside guacamole en molcajete was very flavorful, we had them add juice from two extra lime slices and that really made it come alive. The sopa Azteca was very good, interesting tomato flavors in a Mexican soup was new to me - and the soup was poured into the bowl with the fresh ingredients at the table. The braised pork enchilada was served with Mexican rice that was seasoned very well, not to dry and not too wet and refried or mashed black beans.Topped with crema fresca and pico de gallo the dish was complete. I thought the enchilada shell was cooked very nicely, just on the edge of crisp. Another side was a corn tamale. It had great texture, but needed a sauce to go with it as it was dry otherwise, and a bit too bland.

We skipped dessert, though they looked good. I'd go back because everything was well prepared, with excellent flavors.
