"At last, good Mexican food!!! Ok, in all fairness, I haven't tried all the places around here, but when you have some picky eaters, it can be a bit difficult.Anyway, the whole Mexican/Italian thing threw me off at first, not because I thought it was fusion, but because I thought too many different things on the menu can mean they do everything badly. But the (few) reviews were good and I was in the mood.What can I say, it was goooood! I think what clinched it was there were a bunch of appetizers that we both wanted to try, and they had fajitas, which I always like.Service was excellent, I would give more stars if I could.So everything was really good. Personal preference we like lots more lime (especially the guacamole and the shrimp ceviche) and everything needed more seasoning. We liked the little kick from the jalepenos in the ceviche. The pico de gallo was a bit heavy on the onion, but I still liked it because I had it wrapped up in my tortilla, mixed with everything else. Also normally I don't like refried beans, but I took his beans home to eat with my other stuff!I felt a bit like it might be sacrilegious when I asked for Chollula, which they didn't have, but they have HOME MADE HOT SAUCE. Get it! My fajitas were missing something, and this was it. I can't quite describe it, other than it was a little spicy, and was exactly what I wanted. Actually I should have tried adding it to the guacamole, which I will, when I eat my leftovers (ok yes, I took home half of my fajitas because I got full on appetizers, but now I get to eat more at midnight)!If none of these things convinced you, maybe this last bit will really reasonable prices and generous portions."
