    Definitely a bit touristy but agree with other reviews - solid food and great margaritas.

    This place is DISGUSTING! It's the place white people go to get "authentic Mexican food" and thinks its delicious when really it's 10 bars lower than Chevys, yuck!

    The service was great, however the fajita beef burrito was ALL mushroom little grilled bell pepper, and 3 small bites of beef! Would not have that again.

    Above average, but has that 'tourista' food feel of old town. My carnitas were tender, but lacked the bark of superior carnitas. The Naga Dragon Salsa was hot, but not the barn burner I expected.

    The tortillas are the best especially due to the fact that it was handmade.

    The best tortilla soup in the united states! Handmade warm flour tortillas are fantastic too. If you are in town you must try both.

    Tacos are oily. It is good...but not the best. I would rather go to other places before this one in old town...such as Fiesta de Reyes

    Food was awesome. Service was even better. Ask for Nohemi. She's very efficient and pleasant :-)
