The Scene
Vibrant primary colors set the backdrop for a motif of faux early 20th-century lanterns and painted pottery. The open kitchen is at the far end, while long rows of wooden tables and oversized booths host families, tourists and tequila enthusiasts--more than 50 varieties of the liquor are available. Conscientious waiters in silky guayaberas ensure timely food delivery and provide assistance with ordering.

The Food
Familiar Mexican favorites are gussied up with innovative and high-quality ingredients. Prepared tableside, chunky guacamole is catered to diners' tastes and forgoes the overindulgent addition of sour cream. Another standout are rich quesadillas stuffed with softly stringy asadero cheese and sweet fire-roasted poblano chilies, but the most complex tastes are reserved for entrees: tangy prawns are sauteed in tamarind-mole sauce, giving the dish a Oaxacan-Indian flavor, and tender lamb shank is steamed inside banana leaves to preserve the hint of its muscat wine and spices marinade.
