jeanne marieAugust 8, 2014Everything is good here. I love this place and come every time I'm in the Burlington area.
Jacob WestAugust 4, 2013Don't waste your time at any other Mexican place in town! The Gato Burrito is awesome. The most authentic for sure.
Scott MorraApril 13, 2014Horny Toad margarita is fantastic. Made the way it should be. Tequila, triple sec, like juice. No sour mix. Delicious and strong.
Susan AbellJanuary 21, 2012make sure to avoid the curved table at the top of the ramp. The person in the chair has a kitchen view and a light from the hostess station in their eyes. And, the table is freezing on cold nights.
The restaurant made hot sauce called Gato Muerto is serious. They aren't kidding around about hot spicy it is. Delicious.- Combo of a taco and enchilada is a great deal for the price! Margs are delicious and authentic
GalenOctober 10, 2011Go for the combinations! They are a great deal and you can try lots of different things on the menu.- Brian SwichkowApril 21, 2012The "Shrimp Quesadilla" is $12.99, but a "Cheese Quesadilla" with shrimp added is only $10.75 ... menu loophole epicwin
- Chris SmithAugust 21, 2011Dont miss the grilled corn its awesome. Seriously get it....now. Why arent you flagging down a server? Ok thats better. Enjoy!
Bridgette AbareDecember 1, 2011Aguacate con queso..x2 Perfect for drinks and out!..Paired with a blood orange Margarita..Yum
- Rebecca Herath-RooseNovember 27, 2012Scared of the crazy tequila infusions? Don't be, ask for a taste.
Racquel MasonAugust 11, 2011Arrive early it always a 45 min wait. But I guess that mean the food is awesome!
Been going downhill ever since it opened. Margaritas are good, but the food isn't worth it.
