I had those when we went. Fantastic. Probably the best seafood-based Mexican dish I have had in BR.

Got a thumbs-up from my crew. It is a bit pricey, so it's not going to become our go-to Mexican place but I would say my food was worth the extra price. May not be true for the more generic things (which is what my kids eat--so maybe we'll go more this summer when they are at camp).

Margaritas were pretty tasty too, I thought.

Went tonight:

Drinks: Frozen Margaritas - Very good. Were a little heavy on the gran marnier, but probably just that bartender.

Apps:
Ceviche - Very good. Not the best, but like Bossman said it has a more citrus than lime flavor but still good.
Mayan Pyramid - Good. Woudln't get again, but it was a solid pork tamale w/ some a good black bean sauce.

Entrees:
Osso Bucco - ordered on Bossman's recommendation. Very good. Would definitely recommend. I have had better(but paide more) and could've been a little more tender. The demi-glace was very good. Don't hesitate to order.

Chicken fajitas - Good. Tortillas were typical and all the toppings were very fresh. Nothing to rave about but good.

Carne Asada - Only tried one bite and was good. Guy who ordered said it was real good.

Final say - All in all a good meal. Everything was real fresh. There were very distinct flavors between dishes which is sometimes not the case in mexican food around here. The meal was expensive, and more than I like to pay to when I eat Mexican(4 people @ about $180 w/ 2-3 drinks a peice and tip). It was packed at 7:30 with a 45 minute wait on a Friday night, but we were able to sit down at the bar while we waited.
I will go back, but it's not a place I will frequent regularly due to it being high priced Mexican.
I saw they had $1 margs on Monday and 2-4-1 on Tuesday so I'll have to go hit that up.
