Stopped here for lunch around noon on a Saturday. There weren't too many people here yet (it doesn't open until 11:30), so we had a section almost all to ourselves. While we munched on the complementary freshly made tortilla chips and very nice house salsa, we perused the menu, finally deciding on the pescado Veracruz (sautéed fish topped with tomatoes, capers, onions, olives, peppers and white wine) with a side for fried sweet plantains. We asked and were told the fish was tilapia - previously when we'd had this dish elsewhere, red snapper (which is traditionally used) was the fish, so we wondered how the tilapia would compare.The food arrived after a short wait and certainly looked good. We sampled the plantains and found them just barely warm - clearly they had been made up first and sat around waiting for the fish to be completed. The fish was a bit long in the tooth - having a distinctly fishy flavor - and compared to snapper (which is firmer) was decidedly mushy to the point of falling apart when we tried to get a forkful. Service was fairly good, although we had three or four servers during the course of the meal so didn't get anything like personalized service. Overall, a good meal, but not the best Mexican that we've had.

It had been a long time since our last visit. We werenât disappointed. We had dinner before the Billy Joel concert. Paella for 2. We love the subterranean feeling, especially on a hot summer evening. The wait staff are all professionals. They asked for extra time to prepare the meal and it came out as promised. We had oysters with crab while we waited (and 3 perfect cosmos). The food was exceptional. They got us on our way in a timely fashionâall tuned up for the concert. Weâll be back to sample the rest of the menu soon.

Absolutely fantastic homemade latino food! Guacamole was very fresh, chili con queso was not velveeta with chilli. We had the mole sauce with chicken enchiladas. Delicious. Can't wait to come back. Everything I put in my mouth was amazing. Service was excellent. The atmosphere is clean and lively.
