This restaurant is right beside the Warner Brothers cinema complex, opposite Manors Metro Station. It is a lovely place. I have eaten here quite a few times. The starters choice is good, and includes salsa, nachos, salads etc. The main courses are really something. They offer a wide range, like Chili bowls, enchilladas, fajitas, and chimmichangas. The vegetarian ranges are wonderful, far better than the meat-based mains. All mains come with sour cream and a spicy side salad, and extras, like fries, are also available. The fries and cheese are to be recommended. Deserts are a bit hit and miss. Avoid the fried ice cream claim. It does not live up to what it says on the menu! One area where this restaurant really comes into its own is in its cocktail selection. It has an extensive list of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. Some of these are purely heavenly. There is a non-alcoholic one of pinepapple and tropical fruit juices that is to die for. However, they do not come cheap. This is to be recommended, especially after seeing a movie at the cinema.
