Robin FarrowMarch 22, 2015Take a walk on the spicy side and try the Jalapeño margarita. Just enough bite with a cool after taste. Great vibe at the bar if you're in the area for cocktails. Wait staff at bar attentiveUpvote4Downvote
claarrrJune 8, 2013Their Mexican is tex-mex and they fully admit it. Great tasting, but don't count it as authentic. Meanwhile the BBQ is delicious as well. The sandwiches are huge & try their BBQ sauces!Upvote2Downvote
Lindsey TimbermanMarch 18, 2013Guac & queso fundido are amazing! Two of us shares both appetizers and had no need for dinner - so filling! The pitchers of margs are a great deal; they don't skimp on the tequila & they're only $20!Upvote5Downvote
Y MillerMarch 22, 2017They offer GREAT drinks their happy hour is awesome, they serve the best margarita pitcher for just $12. Their buffalo wings are very good.The crowd is pretty chill and their outside eatery is amazingUpvoteDownvote
Emmanuel WilliamsAugust 5, 2021Great space to drink & hang out with friends! The service can be a little iffy sometimes (depending on waiter/waitress) but overall a go-to spot for a good time & good eat.UpvoteDownvote
Bre BonnerAugust 1, 2015Amazing brunch! Chicken and Biscuits meal is so good and so are their fried pickles. Make sure you get the margarita pitcher or mimosas just to top it all off.UpvoteDownvote
try the Fried Calamari with the Cilantro Lime dipping for a starter & Big Ass Burger or The Gringo Steak Burrito. All very delicious.

The pork shoulder is like a hug from Jesus. Like, the kind of hug that leads to the blinds getting closed and the funky porn music starts playing. Dirty Christ sex; the pork shoulder here is THAT goodUpvote8Downvote- everything is amazing and very fresh! love that they have a lot of options for vegetarians, try the gringo burrito with seitan! Also, HALF PRICED margarita pitchers during happy hour!Upvote5Downvote
- Toni ChristineDecember 1, 2015The Pig Wings are delicious and you will come back again and again just for those plus the pitchers of margaritas are fantastic!!!UpvoteDownvote
I was never brave enough to try re fried cactus and sweet potato burrito until recently (I was happy getting the awesome veggie wings). BOY was I missing out! So delish.Upvote2Downvote
Coming here and not getting food is impossible. It's awesome. When available, the Puebla Burger (not on the regular menu)is one of the best in the city.UpvoteDownvote
Randall GoodsonOctober 13, 2015I love the ribs, gringo burrito and, if you're in there on a Saturday... Shrimp and grits. Drink wise Jarrett makes THE BEST DRINKSUpvoteDownvote
CarolJune 22, 2020We ordered takeout and got surcharged for COVID-19.... I don’t understand how that works. They charge for carry out, but what’s the difference between that and delivery? And they expect a tip?🤬🤯👎

Can't go wrong with the Buttermilk Fried Chicken or Pulled Pork w/ chihuahua cheese. For Appetizer the Nachos are always a good choice.Upvote2Downvote
Brendan GallagherJuly 7, 2013Do yourself a favor and share a s'mores bread pudding for the table for dessert. Trust me.Upvote3Downvote

Marie KyleMay 27, 2013Vegans -- the cactus and potato tacos are out of this world! Beware if you make it a PLATO ...the black beans are good but the rice is quite bland.UpvoteDownvote- Happy hour margarita pitchers 1/2 off and $1 endless chips is amazing.UpvoteDownvote

John O'SullivanFebruary 11, 2014Warning. Pig Wings may cause obsessive thoughts about eating more Pig Wings.UpvoteDownvote- Pro tip. If you see 4 empty tables, your wait will still be stated at 30 minutes. Don't worry you will only wait 25 mins. I don't get it.UpvoteDownvote
