Editorial Review

Satisfying your somewhat contradictory posh-Mexican cravings. Big-shouldered cast-iron space with festive shades under subdued lights. Just ignore the vague Chili's undercurrent. Raucous front bar scene for striver class, mellower dining platform in back. Guac custom-crushed at your table. Roast duck and blackberry-chipotle sauce, rack of lamb with pistachio mole. Quality food, but $19 chicken tacos always gonna rub some folks the wrong way.
