Don't go for the prix fix brunch, but go for lunch, or sit on the patio outside.  Awesome view.

Tomatillo sauce on the chicken enchilada and sweet corn tamale really good.  Tacos were good too.  Good ceviche and guacamole.  The wait was pretty long, but we ended up in the bar and it worked out well for us.  Good drinks.
