    While the decor is a bit dark along with the lighting, the food made up for any of that!! Loved the chips and salsa, accompanied by the cheese; however, be warned both a perfect spicy - great for me, a bit hot for my wife. The quesadillas are outstanding, maybe the best we have ever had. We ordered one each of the chicken and wild mushroom quesadillas and both were great - chicken was very tender and well seasoned, while the mushroom was simply fabulous flavors. Margaritas were very good although a bit small given the price (for this type Mexican restaurant, the price was as expected - prices are not listed on the drink menu which is annoying). We highly recommend.
