This is a good place to see how much alcohol your date can handle. Get a pitcher to start with and take notes.

Margaritas are amazing. Lime and strawberry swirl for the win
Christopher FitzgeraldApril 22, 2013
Lovely if you're outside but the food and drinks are not worth a long wait that is all too common. You can get better Mexican in about 5 other places nearby. If outdoor dining is essential however...

Masitas De Puerco is by far my fave dish... I rarely eat pork, but the meat is so tender and flavorful I can't resist

Chicken Madera is to die for! It might be the Margarita's talking

The golden Cadillac is very good, pricey but worth every dollar.

I was highly impressed by the atmosphere. Don't leave without getting a margarita of some kind, they're fantastic.

Delicious Mexican food (and drinks) at very reasonable prices!
CharMarch 5, 2017
Would skip. The only good thing about this place is the venue, nice to sit at during spring and summer. Food is mediocre at best, despite having Hispanic staff, guacamole is not even completely mashed

Swirl margarita pitchers are obviously a must. Food-wise, the crab/shrimp enchiladas are fantastic.
