I liked the interior and location, both great. I've heard the debate about this place's food, can Mexican cuisine warrant higher prices? I think, after trying it, yes definitely some dishes reach a higher level. Still withholding a star because some aspects of the cuisine just were not different at all in taste from a drive thru. For example, the side of black beans on the chile relleno was indiscernible from a 79 cent can of black beans. That is not to say the actual chile dish was not outstanding -- it was outstanding! So that was my take, wanted to give 5 stars, but aspects of the dishes just aren't that different from drive thru.
