Description:
- The atmosphere is bright and colorful. How can you NOT feel festive in a room with black-and-white floor tiles, fushchia tablecloths and green chairs? The menu is equally exciting, with Mexican-born chef/owner Priscilla Satkoff at the kitchen's helm. The food is authentic, bold and flavorful. Try Chile Rellenos, mole sauces, Flan and other assorted classic, and innovative, Mexican dishes. And you will feel like you're eating home cooking, perhaps because many of the dishes are family recipes embellished with Satkoff's own unique accents. Dining here will be a 'splash' you won't want to miss!

Squash blossoms with Chihuahua cheese were a hit. Smokey tiger shrimp, halibut, and other fish dishes prepared perfectly with suttle spices; not a place to go if you like spicy hot...
