Overall pretty good. Fresh salsa and chips table side was a cool touch. I had beef taco and chile relleno. Have to say both were ok, not awesome. I’ve eaten Mexican all over the country, was expecting a bit better here in Tucson and the reviews I read here. The homemade flour tortillas were the best item, oh, the house margarita was very good and large. Overall ok, not bad at all
