Its Mexican-Central American flavors stand out amid standard Tex-Mex franchises.

In Short
This Inner Loop sequel is every bit as harried and enticing as the original Northwest Freeway operation. Don't expect a quiet evening; patrons are here for the Latin fusion fare and high energy level. The pineapple salsa (its sweetness leavened by cilantro and peppers) is served with plantain chips. There's also smoky cream of roasted poblano and chicken soup; piquant red snapper served with cabbage and cheese; and pupusas. Finish with chocolate empanadas.
