Fodor's Review:

This busy New Mexico-style eatery serves big portions of such tasty dishes as a half-pound habanero cheeseburger, green-chile mashed potatoes, chipotle barbecue baby-back ribs, and carne adovada, a spicy, slow-roasted pork specialty. They'll custom-mix your margarita with fresh lime and lemon juice and blend it with your choice of some 35 tequilas. There's a late-night menu for the after 10 PM crowd.

Reviewed by AZvisitor from Michigan on 10/25/09
Our group sat outside in the shade it was perfect, the waiter was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. At first I couldn't understand why there were less than five tables of customers and then on my way to Bloody Mary bar smile at the "Manager" who was rude and turned to walk out of the room. Next our food came and most was good, for some reason every slice of the french toast was COLD and BURNT on one side...how does a restaurant screw up french toast?? And with a Manager who has attitude with the few customers that acutally show up then doesn't bother to make sure their food is cook properly? No wonder there were no customers.
