Fantastic margaritas! Probably one of the best I've had. The food was ok. I got the ghost pepper chili rellenos but they were not very hot, which was a little disappointing. My friend got their version of the loaded nachos which were decent. Another friend got the combo of a taco, small burrito and rice. She thought it was pretty decent too. We had to ask several times for chips and salsa and the salsa was in a bottle. But this is where Obama came and ate, so it was cool to see the table. And obviously the margaritas. Come here for the margaritas!!

The service is excellent! The taco meat, chicken, ground beef and chipotle is all extremely bland. Mexican food is supposed to challenge your pallet!!! The chicken tastes like it was boiled in water with no seasonings. They offer two taco shells, corn and flour. The corn is definately more crunchy. The flour was good, but more on the chewy side. The refried beans are over salted, but very tasty. Chips and salsa arrived in a bowl and dispenser. The salsa is fresh, and made from ristra chilies and water. They need to make it less watery.... Overall, spouse and I were disappointed with the meal... $30.00 for 5 tacos, water, tea, and chips and salsa and a side of beans. We did see some amazing looking chimichangas, and enchiladas come out of the kitchen. Hopefully they were not as bland for their customers... My wife likes bland food... I like habanero peppers... she commented it was too bland for her. Note to chef... learn to use some spices other than salt!
