Some of the best lemonade I've ever had, perfectly balanced. The salmon is pretty awesome too.

The guacamole was exquisite and the quesadillas monarcas were ok.

The margaritas are phenomenal and the atmosphere is lowlit, a low chatter and grooving mood music
Robert BonesteelDecember 31, 2013
House margarita will set you free.
Don MaxwellJuly 16, 2013
Be careful here. They post drink specials in the Window but they're good only at the bar. I don't do the bait and switch.

Guacamole was delicious.

my favs are the shrimp flautas, fresh guacamole, mushroom queso fondito and mojitos.

Beware. They could lose your credit card behind the bar (on the floor), accuse you of not giving them the card, find it, offer to comp your drinks, then backtrack and uncomp it. Unprofessional.
Joe DominguezNovember 5, 2011
You'll never gonna miss Mexican food!

Disappointing for brunch. There are much better options in the neighborhood than this.
