"I was happy to get back to one of my favorite spots in the city this past weekend.  We were going to see a show at the Academy and this was a perfect location to grab a bite to eat, a few cocktails, and then head to the show. My wife had never been andit had been a few years since I was there so I was hoping it was as good or not better than I remembered.   And it was just asit has been.  Service is always top-notch there and there are so many wonderful dining areas inside the restaurant. As it wasearly in the evening they sat us in the bar area which is nicely decorated. They go all out on the decor, and there is a lotto see and take in.  You always get some chips and salsa to start things off, and they are very tasty.  Some pico de gallo andsome salsa to mix things up. We started with the Queso fundido with chorizo and man that cheese is tasty.  And ooey and gooey.  The flour tortillas were soft and warmed up nicely.  This was a great way to start things off. I tried a couple (4) oftheir cocktails and loved each one.  Two I can name, are the Colina and the margarita diablo.   I like a spicy drink and toldour waiter this, and he said Hold on, I have something for you .    I wish I knew the name of them but always ask the staffand they can make what you are looking for. My wife went with the chicken enchiladas, and I chose the enchiladas de playa withshrimp, lobster, and crab.  They were so good.  The sides were great too, including their refereed beans and rice. We neededto try the churros for research purposes to see how they compared to the best in the world (in the One and only resort, CSL),and they were great a close second. All in all a pleasurable meal and a great start to a Friday date night."

"So I’m changing my review finally. Because I finally food another Mexican restaurant that makes the guacamole for me a lot smaller and cheaper. First of all service here needs to be worked on. I think the waitresses got a little too comfortable with me because I was always coming everyday to eat here. Yes some stuff on their menu is good but not everything. I understand you want to make conversation and want to be cool with me because I was always coming but I’m just a customer coming to eat that’s it. Asking personal questions is a big NO. Secondly they’ve gotten so comfortable when I call to place a order they answer the phone saying want do u want I’m really busy… if you are busy then don’t answer the phone but to pick up the phone and say I’m busy want do you want Going forward this place is very expensive and not everything is good on the menu …when they service you water it’s warm and don’t add ice and if they do the put water first and then add the ice and warm still taste warm it should be add ice first then water. Also there water taste like start faucet water and they calm they have a filter for it. It’s disgusting so I don’t order water anymore or any drinks from here I just bring my own drinks now. Also , I can say this their guacamole is very good here but the down side is that they only do it one size and it’s a big size for 14$ very expensive and I don’t even Get to finish it because it’s to big … they don’t give you a option for a smaller one for cheaper .. so your stuck with paying for something to big and can’t finish . Orchata is kinda watery as well.their burrito de asada and chicken things toasda are very good and the ajillo shrimp dish is good but not everything on that menu is good. : this is Very pricy stop. But thank god o found me a restaurant that makes me that guacamole just as good and cheaper… when looking at my bank statements I’m spending 300 to 600$ a month on pulpo loco I think I derserve some better service … but that all changed now that I found me another restaurant… you’ll be seeing me a lot less now that I found that guacamole some where else lol :"
