Food was okay. The best thing I had was the tortilla soup and hand made tortillas. I believe if the salsa is good it helps the food taste better. The salsa here tasted like ketchup with small pieces of onion with tomatoes. Too sweet!. Why! Please look into a more authentic Mexican salsa. Over all it was just okay.
