    I ordered enchiladas because they're the one item that should be safe at any Mexican restaurant. That continues to be a prudent rule as the meal was good, not awful or amazing. It just came with rice so I had to ask for a side of beans. It always bums me out when an entre doesn't have both, but that's not a war crime or anything. The chips and salsa were brought out quickly. The chips were good, and I liked the salsa. The raspberry marg took long enough that it started to feel like they'd forgotten about it, and I kinda wish they had. I might be picky, but I didn't love it. It looked awesome, though, so bonus points for presentation. The server struck me as a bit unresponsive as I had to ask for something twice and he wasn't in the county when I wanted to pay, but I'm sure he's a great dad or ballroom dancer or whatever else he does away from work. The cost for the meal was less than I expected. Not a terrible experience, but a bit unremarkable. That said, I'd return if I were in the area at mealtime and wanted Mexican food. I'd probably get the same thing less the marg.
