Check in here on facebook with friends and get free margaritas!! Also $3 mimosas and bloody marys for sat & sun brunch, until 3pm
Get the Norteno!!! The best brunch omelette ever! Don't forget the Bloody Mary!
kevin mcgroryJune 2, 2012Try the Mexican Hot Chocolate And Churros - Loved the churros. The hot chocolate was tasty.
Joe DodsonDecember 31, 2015Crab & Shrimp Quesadilla was good but is actually a mexican pizza and absolutely not a quesadilla.
The chicken and rice special is really good and a bargain, too!
Alicia GFebruary 11, 2013The strawberry pineapple caipirinha is really strong and insanely delicious.
Bobbi MoytaApril 17, 2013Kids meals are $6 and do not include a drink and you are charged 4 bucs for chips and salsa with a refill of chips for only....2.50!! Give me a break.
Jared MisnerAugust 13, 2013Can't go wrong with the tofu tacos! Why am I paying for chips and salsa though?
Ahi tuna taco! Get extra salsa with your chips, it's delicious!
Dana VeytiaOctober 13, 2011Great atmosphere and two full bars. Great light fare from tacos to ceviche.
Honey MadarangOctober 28, 2012Be sure to order the Motulenos and take advantage of the $3.50 mimosas #SundayBrunch #CPL8
Great food and perfect mix of music ... Band of Horses, The Strokes, etc...
Celine Kapi'olaniNovember 15, 2013Food was good, the waitress was really bad, only quick service when you ask for the check. I never did get a napkin from her, went & got it myself...good thing there was good company at our table.
Rainy MayMarch 12, 2011I love it here! Get a mojito , the dip sampler and the steak! Jason is an amazing bar tender outside!
Birthplace of the Cantons downtown, the original is just as great. Get the Grande sangria!
Ian LevineMarch 8, 2014Great reviews except no one mentioned chips and salsa are not complimentary...what kind of Mexican joint is this?!
I crave the Sesame Salmon on the lunch special menu. The wasabi cream, the salmon and the yuca, OMG!
Jason FandrichSeptember 19, 2011They have Cuestion Tequila!!! Try it and you will be very happy with yourself!!
Delicious taco salad with grilled shrimp added. Mmmmm!
