Ken and I first ate at this restaurant about 10 years ago, when we had just started dating in Atlanta. Being back in the ATL for the holidays, we finally had a chance to go again. We loved it! It was actually better than we remembered. The decor is trendy in a southwestern style, but not overdone. The service was excellent, from our friendly waiter to the bartender and manager, both of whom offered to run out to feed our parking meter for us. My mojito was one of the best I've ever had, and the chocolate mud pie with Kalua ice cream we had for dessert was dee-lish. No complaints about our appetizers - fish tacos with a spicy sauce, Yucatan tortilla soup (very fragrant, poured at the table so the tortilla strips don't get soggy!), and baby mixed green salad (fresh, fruity, and light). The only thing slightly lacking about our experience had to do with the main dishes. Ken ordered the scallops, which he said were great, but not the best, though I thought his side of smoked tomato grits were fantastic. My jumbo shrimp were nicely cooked, but didn't really seem to go with the beans-and-cheese enchilada.
