There is nothing to write home about regarding the atmosphere here, but it is by far my favorite Mexican food restaurant. They have excellent green chile - but be careful, it is super hot. I like hot things and I even have to get the mild. They can do 1/2 and 1/2 if you want to try the mild/med together. They do not serve beer here though.
