I have to agree, things have begun to decline at Curra's over the past--oh, 6 months? Especially the one off Oltorf. They fired our favorite bartender, got new menus, raised prices and hired a horrible staff. Last time we were there, our server forgot he had seated us (we flagged another waitress and he apologized for forgetting) and then proceeded to forget we were there again. ?? Up North, the staff is pretty much clueless, as in, never coming by to ask for what you need and never being able to answer questions about the menu. HOWEVER! The food is AMAZING. I've decided to just flag down waiters/waitresses when I need them and forget about the annoying service. ///// The food is a bit better up North. What to get? Cochinita Pibil, Shrimp anything, Tacos al Pastor is a favorite, Colorado Enchiladas. What not to get? House margaritas (get them made fresh instead!). Get ready to ask for what you want, insist on getting it, and enjoy the wonderful meal you're bound to eat. I'll be back as long as the food rocks!

Pros: The food!

Try the avocado-flavored margarita--it's earned a cult following. But be forewarned: It's almost a meal.
