We live out 1604 and Potranco, so this is by no means nearby, but it was well worth the drive (even in traffic). I was pretty surprised to find it so crowded on a Wednesday evening; we had to wait 20 minutes for outdoor seating, but I'm so glad we did. The patio is huge and well shaded by really beautiful tall trees. The tables were well spaced, so we didn't feel like we were on top of the people near us. There was a guy playing guitar and singing popular favorites by the likes of Jimmy Buffet and Neil Diamond- he was great. The volume level was also excellent. Loud enough that we could hear him, but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other. The chips are thicker than I like, but the salsa was really spicylicious! We got the puffy tacos because, well, we went here because my friend saw the Bobby Flay Puffy Taco Throwdown on the Food Network and wanted to check it out. They were delicious, as expected, so that was great. The tea wasn't great, I had to switch to water, but no biggie. Overall, LOVE THIS PLACE. We'll be back as soon as my husband returns from TDY. Very pleasant experience!
Pros: great atmosphere, good food, live music on the patio
Cons: thick chips (personal preference for thin chips), ice tea wasn't great
