$5 margaritas on Wednesdays! The sampler appetizer plate is big enough to share with four people. Warm and friendly staff made us feel like regulars on our first visit.

The tacos are great, especially with the chinichurri. Also the ceviche is good and big enough to be a meal for one if you aren't that hungry

The jalapeño poppers are an excellent appetizer! Margaritas are only $3.50 for happy hour 5-7. Chicken Itza is fabulous!

I love their world famous frozen margarita! One of the best place to get Tex-Mex in Dallas.

A family Dallas staple! This is great Mexican food for a low-key, fun friends & family night.

Amazing salsa: but this place is nothing more than your grandparents’ greasy spooner TexMex place.Nachos with chicken was average: nothing else from the lunch menu appealed to me.

While you can get the Desperado Tacos for less than six bucks after 5PM on Thursdays, you can get a half order anytime for five bucks.

The chicken flautas were okay. They only came with two but they were cut in half so you really didn't get a whole lot of food. The dipping sauce was pretty good!! The hot sauce was CRAZY HOT! Beware!!

Get the Desperado tacos on Thursday nights--one chicken, one beef, made with extra cheese!!

Tacos. Awesome. Margs. Awesome. And not too overpriced.

Tried the lunch tacos, were really dry and tasteless. The place inside was dark and gloomy as the ceilings are really low. Would be 5/10 for me

Not sure. I ordered the Desperado tacos. I’m not a fan. Served on crispy flour tortillas.
