I've been to one a few times year ago in Dallas but it has been some time. Anything else coming to town?

It's nothing special, but consistently better than other modern Mexican chains (thinking specifically of Cantina Laredo). With it just down the street from me here, I'll probably drop in occasionally for the painted desert soup.

It seems to lean towards what I would call "New Mexico" mexican. Adobe Pie etc. I did have a wicked good blue margarita (they call it something else I think) I think it's different than Cantina Laredo's Food so for me it wouldn't be a comparison to them.
