The food is billed as Fresh Mex, and it's light, healthy, and packed with flavor and nutrition. Food is cooked in olive oil instead of lard. The salsa bar offers fresh parsley, chopped onions, jalapenos, and red and green homemade salsas. The chicken taco salad, served in a crispy-fried edible bowl, is wonderful. Only chicken breast is used, even in the enchiladas. Romaine lettuce replaces the bland iceberg variety. Black beans instead of refried pintos. Mozzarella instead of cheddar cheese. You get the idea.
