This is a favorite place! There are SO many yummy Mexican dishes. A personal favorite is the * Chile en Nogada* and it is unforgettably delicous. I highly recommend the buffet on Saturdays and Sundays! Hand-made tortillas, orange/cinnamon/clove spiced coffee, crazy good quacomole, mole "bar" and tasty everything. Not the cheapest, but you will get great food and great service! Call first to find out if you need to make a reservation.
