Athonia CappelliNovember 24, 2015Go for Happy hour between 4-7pm Monday-Thursday or Friday - Sunday 2-6pm. Vegetarian & Vegan types: order Ernesto's Tacos from the HH menu and hold cheese/meat. Order Salsa Negra and guac at ½ price!
Rachel KDecember 30, 2017Vegetarians: if you are strict, most everything is cooked in chicken stock, including the rice, refried beans, chili relleno and burritos. Fajitas are the only safe option.
Caroline SchulweisFebruary 27, 2017Good casual Mexican food with tvs in the bar area, live music, and happy hour specials. Great nachos and fajitas. Outdoor seating as well.
Carolyn FMay 22, 2021Excellent shredded beef enchiladas. Guacamole also excellent and generous portions. Taco was good. Shrimp enchiladas pretty meh. Not enough seasoning and the shrimp tasted like they boiled it.
Ben HernandezMay 30, 2016One of the best tortilla soups I've had in a long time .. Their carnitas were also excellent
BhoomiMay 27, 2014Loved live gauc, veg quasadilla ! Strongly recommended if you are vegetarian and in the area !!
Tweet Geist GuyMarch 15, 2013Best pollo asado & best flan I've ever had! Maybe refried beans, too! Don't tell my sister-in-law!
Mundy ViarNovember 24, 2016Have been here twice. Had soup both times - albóndigas and poblano. Both very nice. Love the tamarind margarita!
Karen VizerDecember 30, 2010This is a GREAT Mexican Restaurant- the food is freshly prepared so do not expect fast food! It's Delicious and there are some unusual menu items too- I love the green corn tamales and the table side
Markie DewMay 22, 2014Margaritas were amazing with extra $2 for big ones and jalapeño margaritas are off the hook good! Service was fare, food was excellent

Bob ScottMarch 20, 2011Awesome food and service. Ask for the chef's special salsa. Hot. But great flavor. If I lived here I would be a regular
Silvia Butta CaliceApril 23, 2016They got our check wrong! I needed to show a picture of my food to prove I did not get extra avocado. Unbelievable
I love this place! Get a double margarita; it is a cost savings and they're delicious! Great service as well!
- JoAnn CasleyOctober 7, 2020Restaurant charged credit card twice & won't refund/return ... friend has been calling for almost a month ... theft won't help your business survive COVID
