I stayed away from the usual Mexican fare that I could get anywhere and went with seafood-based enchiladas. Enjoyed the meal. I'd return to try their other dishes for sure. Thought it odd that is came with a mini-tostada as the pre-dinner fare (instead of the usual chips and salsa), but it was fine.
