Inspiring Mexican

by tuckermcclure

I just ate here for the first time yesterday, and was thrilled to find such good Mexican food. In a state overrun with taco stands and mediocre tex-mex joints, this place stands out as an excellent reminder that Mexican food can be sophisticated, powerful, and a little exotic. The pollo con mole poblano has a great twist and is a *must* for fans of "Mexico's national dish".

The atmosphere matches the food (though there are a few extraneous "modern" touches) and creates a good space for one-on-one conversation or big groups. And the service was personable and quite helpful. The price is a little bit higher than I'd expect, but they offer a bunch of specials to bring it down a bit (also, there's a restaurant[.]com certificate that will save you $15).

In short, this is on my list of favorites in the DFW area. I look forward to going again soon.

• Pros: Fresh, intricate flavors, and great service and environment.
• Cons: Too pricey for me to go weekly.

SO-SO place to go

by jennyc120

We have been twice-once for their brunch (pretty good) with your choice of fruits, chorizo & eggs, coffee, juices, and a quesadilla station, and once for lunch- we were looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant- but this place is more Mexican fusion than traditional. Overall was good, but it wasn't all traditional Mexican fare.
