    Great food and service. The chicken tacos are delightful. Also, bring your own booze! They'll chill and serve it for you!

    Go to La Ciudad and get the Camarones al Diablo, and be sure you've got a good BYOB pairing. The sampler is a good starter, and the Tres Leches (sp?) and the coffee flan are amazing ways to finish. Read more

    If you're a spice wuss like me, get the flautas, guac, or carne asada - and leave room for dessert!

    Menu online has completely different prices. Update your website La Coudad! Cancelled my order, sorry.
