A lovely patio overlooking a small lake in the surrounding shopping center creates a vacation ambience, which can be a relief from the noisy dining room. Suddenly, no wait. If you do have to wait, however, try one of the excellent margaritas. You'll want something to wash down the absolutely addictive, thick, smoky-tasting salsa that is so easily scooped up by crisp, warm, perfectly salted tortilla chips. But it wasn't the finger foods and starters that really got our attention.
Small plates contain two or three tacos, tamales, quesadillas or a tostado.
Instead, the entrees surpassed them. Although the wild mushrooms are distinctly un-Mexican, the flavor of the marinated, grilled mushrooms is rich. More raisins would have made us even happier. Sweet-hot flavor plays always do. They made me long for some Mexican coffee and a cold evening.
