    The service and food was awesome. Eat the goat tacos, and the churros. Also try the alcoholic drink with the lavender in it. This was a great beer too.

    Grilled fish taco & hibiscus flower taco FTW. All tacos, enchiladas, tamales, & sopes are gluten-free. Most things can easily be made dairy-free. Amazing chips, strong drinks. I could eat here daily.

    I got the vegetarian rajas. This place is even good if you’re vegetarian! And for 4 dollars it fills you up! Great decor and service . My meal came out within 5 minutes. Friendly staff!

    Omg!! The chicharron (pork belly) taco is a must have! The flavor, texture, & not spicy, but I wish it was a bit spicy. Next time I'll order jalapeños.

    The ambiance was great. The guacamole was great. The carne adobo tacos were amazing. The best 2 things had were the banana empanada and the Margarita de Bone Garden.

    Filled with onions, cactus, queso panelo and pasilla sauce, it is no surprise that the Pasilla Patron tamales in Bone Garden is topping our charts for trending taste of the week.

    It's good that there's a Mexican/Texican place with a variety of breakfast items. The yucca fries are seriously addictive and served with spicy queso dip. Also check out the margarita.

    The best margarita north of El Paso. Get here early. Come Saturday and dig on the Mexican pasta. Not necessarily authentic so much as fantastic

    You can't go wrong with the Adobo Quesadilla. If you're feeling ambitious, start with the Queso with chorizo.
