This is more than a burrito place. Enjoy fresh chips and salsa and strong margaritas on the patio; order the black bean salad side with anything (best-flavored beans I've had in my life).

Huachinango a la Veracruzana (Red snapper Veracruz-style made with rich tomato sauce that includes red peppers and olives)

The piña colada went awf!! And the pico de gallo is really good too. I always go for the burrito, I highly recommend it.

Great flautas here. Both the chicken and steak were cooked perfectly. Sit in the back patio if you can and grab a pitcher of margs :)

This Mexican mainstay has an amazing back patio; potent and fruity margaritas; sweet-as-pie servers; and decent dishes for a nice price. http://tmout.us/maA24 Read more

Steak tacos are simply perfect. Well prepared, delicious and filling- ditch the sour cream and cheese and stick with cilantro, onion and lime. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent service - even for the party of 1 that we saw come in at 5 min till close. Good, simple Mexican food. Great house margarita.

Get the Huachinango (red snapper) instead of regular fish tacos, whole fish = much better! But get it with garlic sauce instead of a la Veracruzana ~ bueníssimo!

Nice upstairs bar and a dining area that was good for families. The caldo de res was good also.

Love this place. Sooooo good. Been here many times. Except the last time I was there I had one bitchy waitress who was completely rude & slammed drinks & plates down, stared and talked and was pushy.
