Guacamole is prepared right at the table, so diners can watch it being made from scratch. Handmade tortillas are part of nearly every dish and give the meal a texture that sets it apart from most Mexican restaurants in the area.
The restaurant is open daily and has a dining room large enough to seat groups comfortably, though wait times can build up around lunch and dinner peaks. Arriving a little before the main meal hours tends to make the experience smoother, especially on weekends.
