In our never ending search for good *Mexican* food, we decided to check
out the Sierra Grill because it is close to where we live.  We were
pleasantly surprised at how good it was (this is from a native Californian
who grew up on Mexican food).

The salsa was excellent, not chunky like a Southwest style.  My fiance had
a chile relleno and tamale and I had a chicken enchillada.  He said the 
rellano was superb and the tamele was pretty good.  My enchillada was
good also.  The beans were awesome.  The margartitas were very good also.

We paid $30 for two entrees, an order of guacamole, two beers, and two
margaritas.

I though it was one of the best Mexican places we've been to in our
search in the DC area.
