Erin ChisApril 6, 2014Try the guacamole and cheese dip with chips it's awesome and the people are so nice!
Service and food have gotten way better since they've opened. Guac and Margaritas!!
- DoubleDeuceJuly 29, 2021Honestly, I was surprised it wasn't cheaper but then the portions came out and they were pretty big. Lots of leftovers if you like that sort of thing.
Zara KhanAugust 10, 2018Good margaritas and the guacamole is delicious but contrary to popular belief, the tacos are quite mediocre. The fish tacos were bad and the beef taco was super dry.
Shaun RiceMarch 12, 2014Unimpressed. I am the only person here right now and they are more concerned about figuring out the new drinks and food on the menu than serving customers
- Sure it's expensive but I think they hit the mark. Margaritas are exactly what you expect and pay for, good stuff
Olly XMay 7, 2017I'm usually against the overpriced guac that some Mex restaurants try to push on you but these were not bad.- Get the tacos and ask for guacamole with your chips.
- Brussel sprouts were more burnt then fried.Tuna tacos is good
The dollar beer left the menu, but it still exists. Ask for it!- After being charged full price during happy hour, we talked to the bartender who said HH is only Sun/Thurs despite what the window sign says then took it down. As we were leaving the sign went back up
- The $1 beer is "Beer 30 Light" by Melanie Brewing co. 3.8% Alcohol. It's not bad, especially for the price.

Amira StephanieSeptember 23, 2016The food is good. The service, not so much. Our waitress was Vanessa, pretty rude and inattentive. Hardly checked on us, unless we flagged her down. At a point another waiter felt bad and helped us
- Francisco RibeiroApril 12, 2013Very relaxing atmosphere, great place to sit at the bar and talk. I had the El Pastor pulled pork taco, delicious. (A bit heavy on the cilantro though) For the dessert I had the morenitas, GET THEM.

"Their slightly spicy picadillo burrita is outstanding. Even the sides–rice and beans—were flavorful and well-seasoned. (The hint of rosemary was unexpected and smart.)"
