Start here! We went for the L' Experience Escondite at the bar & Kika took care of us with an excellent selection from the menu & a dazzling display of his bartending prowess. Food & drinks you won't soon forget. Kika directed us to the happening spots for salsa dancing & live music downtown. Know what you're looking for & kika can help you get there.

Was recommended to be by a friend & it way surpassed my expectations. Our party of 4 arrived on a Friday night with out reservations. We were greeted at the door & told it would about a 15 minute wait & was offered a spot at the Bar. The first thing you notice is the great décor. Not your cheesy Mexican joint, but a cool hip South-of-the-boarder vibe. At the bar we enjoyed some fantastic & unique cocktails (try the one with the chilli powder, can't remember the name). Within minutes our table was ready, we were seated & our wonderful server Alisha was ready to take our order.

The food choices are outstanding & vast. With it's tapas type menu it was fun to order food to share. The fish tacos, veg quesadillas & guacamole dip were outstanding, but personal favourite were the ribs (ordered a second plate just for myself)

Being to full for dessert we opted to move back to the bar, which was now fairly full & hopping, to enjoy some more cocktails.

All in all, it was a wonderful evening, with great food & excellent service & I cannot wait to go back for more.
