The food at this excellent Mexican restaurant is not the heavy, cheese laden entrees that we've become accustomed to. Dishes are light and flavorful, and perfectly sized for sharing. For picky kids, there's always rice and beans & an accommodating staff. This restaurant is casual and noisy, perfect for kids, but be aware that it is popular for dinner and there is often a line.

    I agree that the food is great and kid-friendly, but the tables are packed so close together that it seems not very highchair friendly. On my last visit, I was barely able to maneuver to my seat without bumping into other diners. Perhaps it's better for older kids that can sit in a regular seat and take care of themselves?
