Kelly JohnsonJuly 21, 2014If you like spicy salsa, ask for the habanero sauce they keep in back to come with your chips - hot but yummy!
So much better than Uncle Julio's! When I'm in the mood for a chimichanga, this is my go to spot!- Jennifer BarbeeApril 25, 2014Great service at the bar. Best margarita is the Passion Fruit. Really good Mojitos too!
Best selection of tequila going.. Ask for the Don Julio 1947..
Carmen CarreñoJune 15, 2013Great freaking food! Everything was perfect! Might be my new favorite restaurant :D
One of the best TexMex places in the area. Good food, excellent service!
