Too much hype--servers pushing items (you'll get our house special guacamole, and we'll spice it to your taste at the table), high prices for small quantities (I believe the tab was $14 for the 5 shrimp in the camerones al mole de tamarindo). Along with the camerones, we had sopes, sevice, jicama, cactus, carnitas, chicken mole, corn bread (also pushed by the server). Everything was good, nothing memorable. And the bill was steep. Everyone should have listened to me and gone to the Tandoori-loin. Mon Sep 12 01:55:39 -0700 2005 0 anniebananie 1 188083 I agree. Not bad, but nothing that stays in the memory, and overpriced to boot. Mon Sep 12 19:57:34 -0700 2005 187912 0 mc 2 188155 You were lucky then and did better than we did --- link below.

I felt like it was a tourist place the way the servers tried to push us into ordering particular dishes. And, yes, overpriced and, yes, not too memorable.
