Sangria margaritas, enchiladas verdes, tacos al carbon. A great after work restaurant. Nothing fancy. Good service and good food.Upvote1Downvote
Good food. Service was top notch. Always checking on for drink or chip refills. One of my favorite Mexican Restaurants in the area.UpvoteDownvote
Our favorite! Strong margaritas, cold beer, fresh limes, and the tamales are to die for! Try the queso flameado too!Upvote5Downvote- Dustan NeylandJanuary 13, 2012The margaritas are delicious and strong. If you drink too much, call a cab. If you drive anyway and get a DWI, call me.

Joshua MathisJanuary 5, 2013Crowded, with lots of kids. Decent food, but limited menu. There are better values to be had in the area.UpvoteDownvote
Frances MoradoNovember 27, 2011This place is disgusting! Gotten sick every time I eat here no matter what I try on the menu. The only thing worth going is their margaritas. But their chips and salsa suck too!UpvoteDownvote
