The large dining area's light walls, bright Mexican artwork, hardwood floors and potted plants create an inviting space for more than 20 tables. The cuisine is somewhat traditional during the lunch rush, but becomes more adventurous at night. Assertively spiced dishes go beyond seam-busting burritos. Starters include the fresh tuna- or posole-topped nachos. Main dishes flaunt tequila-poached shrimp, pumpkin-crusted tilapia, seared tuna, and a mole-draped grilled flank steak paired with a short-rib enchilada.
