Their use of art and furniture directly from central Mexico is one key feature that makes them stand out from other restaurants.[6] Following this theme, the restaurant blends traditional Mexican cuisine with standard Tex-Mex fare for a New England palate. The restaurant prides itself on remaining a true scratch kitchen even while evolving into a corporation as well as remaining a fast, casual, family-oriented place to eat.
