5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

09/12/2007 Posted by youknowrae

OK, this is one of the few places I have ben to several times since moving to Austin. My first time here I ordered the prickley pear margarita on a friend's reccomendation and was shocked when it came out fuschia! I was only slightly less shocked when it was delicious! My friend and I started out with the shrimp avocado ceviche which was uber tasty. I had some soup and an a la cart taco, both of which left me very happy. My most recent visit was even more wonderful, I practically had to be rolled out of there! I got the chicken fajitas with the grilled veggies mixed in and I am in love! It will take a miracle to get me to order anything else, it was SO good. The service there has always been good. My waiter the last time was very helpful and accomodating. Over all I give this place an A+. It was my choice for my birthday dinner and to take out my special friend who helped me move. PS-sit outside, its lovely!

Pros: margaritas, grilled veggies, to-die-for patio

Cons: i want more cheese

Though there are three large dining rooms and a huge outdoor patio, expect a long wait on the weekends, when the crowds swell exponentially.
