Stuart ReeveJune 18, 2018was ok, nice interior, long bar and good band. we chose this place after reviews said it was the best margherita in town. sorely disapointed at the margherita it was poor and well over priced.
Abel AlvaradoOctober 20, 2013They make their own pickles and condiments. GREAT food served late into the night.
Niki TaylorApril 14, 2012Recommended drinks: The Old Fashioned and Gibraltar. Recommended food: Tacos con Papas & Pulled Pork Sandwich.
Marla HuhmanApril 26, 2013The chili relleno is a MUST!!!!! This thing is huge and off the charts good.
Hangar steak salad and chili salt fries with homemade ketchup.. So good!
Xavier SnowmanFebruary 11, 2015Not good for veggie options - the only choice is the corn tacos, which are just okay and pretty small. I don't eat much, but I left hungry. Nice atmosphere though and my server was cool
Veronica VillegasSeptember 12, 2014This place is bigger than i throught it would be. Really cool interior. Ceviche was decent, cocktails were pretty good but the rice pudding was disgusting. Do NOT get the rice pudding.
My drink was good for my first time. Bad part is it took 9 mins for someone to acknowledge me while I was sitting at the bar.(no welcomes, how are you, hello,nothing) bad hospitality
Amy LoeMay 18, 2013Waited 30 minutes to get a drink. Great place to sit in the cool air conditioning as long as your not hungry or thirsty :|
Shyamali CultureintrosMarch 24, 2013Busy and a little difficult to get served, but comfortable and nice drinks.
Jimmy ThompsonJanuary 18, 2014Ok these bartenders know what they are doing try the Midnight in Mexico Smokey flavorful but only if you like Mezcal
Aaron HackneyJuly 6, 2013Love the bar. But it took 20 minutes to get someone to take our order and the place isn't 1/2 full. Plan on a loooong wait for a drink.
The "Shrimp Cocktail" is not what it sounds like. Try it, it's delicious!
