I had read about this place, from the Chef's at the Border Grill, and had always wanted to try it, and my girlfriend had been there and enjoyed it, so we decided to go and have a nice evening meal. Their was an excellent hispanic band playing, and we got amazing seats on the patio right in front of them, as well as excellent breads and dips (one tasted like hummus and one an olive dip of sorts). And the food and drinks could not have been better. Really excellent.



We had a margarita special, which was 2 martini glasses and a shaker of margarita, good for 2 glasses each for us, and I must say it was the best margarita I ever had, and not only that but it got me really, really buzzed, and with only 2 glasses!


The food was exemplary. Nan Lan had a Stuffed Tomato and Chile Relleno, and a scrumptious tortilla soup. And I had a Argentine Guacho Steak, which is a caramelized jalape–o and roasted garlic stuffed beef rib eye with a salad and mashed potatoes and it was extraordinary. Quite delicious.

I highly recommend this place for a date, but make sure you get a patio seat because the view of downtown is out of this world. Slightly expensive, with a meal for 2 going to run you around $100, but well worth the price.
