    Definitely one of the better if not the best Mexican restaurant in Pasadena. I agree with other posters though that the chips could be better. I also don't like the red and green chips they serve. Salsa is pretty good.

    The food, however, is delicious and the service is always good too. We eat there often. They have local artists' work on the walls in a revolving exhibit, and I always enjoy that. Last night a man and woman were singing, and it was very enjoyable. They validate parking too. Park off Green Street.

    I visit this local mexican place pretty often throughout the month, and it never fails with their daily specials and authentic "Yucatan" food. They also have some of the best margaritas in the area, and the service is outstanding!! I would recommend the Enchiladas de Mole and the Yucatan Trio dish with a Cadillac Margarita :)

    Another good mexican restaurant but with a larger emphasis on "Yucatan" style plates. Not the best chips and salsa but good variety of food, daily specials and occasional live music. Optional outdoor patio seating is okay. Carnitas were good...
