(From January 2012) We've heard the recent complaints about this of-so-hot spot in the Montrose area that celebrates classic Tex-Mex. And though we did find that the guacamole needed a little oomph and the margaritas were overly sweet (try the "slim" version), our all-enchilada feast hit the spot. Satisfying the whole table were the enchiladas #10, cheese-based with meaty chili and queso toppings; the veggie #7, a lighter cheese version with a meatless "Friday Sauce"; the the El Gallo Verse, chicken enchiladas with salsa verde. Expect noise and visual distraction (an old John Wayne oater was playing-thankfully without sound- on a giant screen). Bar. |

(From November 2011) No longer is it necessary to brave the weekend crowds to enjoy a satisfying breakfast at this popular spot. Now every morning of the week you can secure a seat on the patio and dig into Hunter’s Delight, scrambled eggs smothered in spicy chili; migas with rice and beans; or the classic American Breakfast, two eggs and meat along with from-scratch hash browns and real-thing grilled Texas toast. Burgers and Mexican fare take the field the rest of the day. Beer, wine, & margaritas. |

(From January 2012) Some good Tex-Mex resides in this odd place: it’s nightclub-dark, with red and black accents and an environment the proprietors call “mature and sensual,” whatever that means. Still, we did enjoy a stack of enchiladas verdes: layered chicken, tortillas, and cheese baked with tomatillo sauce. And the shrimp tacos, though a bit chewy, tasted fine, with their corn tortillas, cabbage slaw, guacamole, and salsa. We went gringo with our salads, one with beets and goat cheese, the other spinach with fruit. Bar. |
