the room along with Manager Martine Jordan, checking to
make sure everything is to your liking.

After being seated in the dining room, a basket of freshly
made tortilla chips arrived, accompanied by two salsas
(roasted tomato red and roasted tomatillo green). The green
edition, with its spicy finish, awoke my taste buds. For a
libation I enjoyed a Raspberry Margarita, delivered in a tall
glass and inviting.

The Small Bites menu offers selections such as Shrimp
Taquitos and Vegan Quesadillas. On a recommendation
from David, our server, I ordered Imperial Shrimp featur-
ing wild shrimp wrapped in bacon, then lightly fried. A
surprise ingredient was wild Mahi mashed to a fine con-
sistency then stuffed between the bacon and shellfish. The
bacon added a slight smoky taste.
The main fare offers a compelling list of burritos, tacos
(street and signature), bowls, and vegan items. If you’re
feeling adventurous, try what many of us would con-
sider non-traditional Mexican—Rudolph’s Cedar Chipotle
Salmon, for example.
The list of enchiladas might seem overwhelming, bur take
a minute and imagine how each might taste. I suggest the
Enchilada Trio, three of their most popular choices. The
first one is grilled USDA prime filet mignon and Monterey
Jack cheese wrapped in a fresh corn tortilla and topped with
red enchilada sauce. The second is a pulled chicken ver-
sion, slow cooked and marinated in chilies, then immersed
in green tomatillo sauce. Finally, the shrimp enchilada
includes two cheeses enhanced with chipotle cream sauce.
A choice of beans and rice come as sides. I want to add that
this was some of the best rice I have had in a long time,
fluffy and not dried out as in some places around town.
Two desserts were featured, and they suggested I try them
both. First, a beautifully plated dish of Flan arrived with
scrumptious vanilla custard and caramel sauce plus choco-
late coated crunchy pearls. The second ending to my meal
was Tres Leches Parfait, a decadent combination of sponge
cake layered in light and creamy chocolate mousse and
cookie crumble. You can also choose either chocolate or
vanilla ice cream to finish things off.
