What began as a restaurant is now an entire complex, composed of restaurant, bar, shop, and nightclub. However, it's not a Disney-esque enterprise but an authentic, tasteful excursion into the American southwest. In an historic building, the restaurant boasts tiled floors, stuccoed walls in earthy shades, and distressed iron accents. It's a truthful, if upscale, representation of the area, not a theme-restaurant interpretation. The food, too, is authentic. A tapas menu and a regular menu both sport dishes with zesty flavors, whether they come from chilies and herbs or the smoky goodness of the apple-wood grill. Steaks, duck breast, ribs, lamb, and salmon all make appearances, as does paella. To enrich the ambience, there's also an outdoor patio and terrific margaritas. A definite don't-miss.
