    Shrimp in the Guadalajara fajitas are great. The El Jefe margarita is not for the weak. It is awesomely spicy. The regular Paloma is hard to beat.

    I have been here several times and every drink, meal and dessert have been exceptional. Tortillas and chips are handmade in the building! Hansel is a great bartender and server.

    Went there for lunch. They were busy and it took 45 minutes to get food. We asked if that was normal and the manager said no it is usually 10-12 minutes, then he comped all 5 of our meals.

    Went around 2pm or so on a Saturday. Our server was horrible: She didn't know what kind of tequila they use in their Swirls and other signature drinks. She ruined a surprise birthday treat.

    Call 40 minutes before arriving. It doesn't guarantee no wait but it really speeded it up! We got seated right away.
