    Awesome #guacamole and chips! The chicken quesadilla is a great appetizer! Don't leave out the #margaritas.

    The new bar they installed is huge improvement. Now if we could get the bartenders to stop over-filling the margarita glasses with ice, and leave some room for the $9 drink itself.

    Sweet peeps saved my lost bag for me when I left after their magical margaritas. Shrimp tacos and Mexican corn... #Tass

    Margaritas get you wasted- well worth the $9. Food is not to die for, but stick with appetizers- queso fundido in particular- and you won't be disappointed!

    Consistently good food with consistently poor service. Love the Barbacoa beef nachos

    Real talk - decent tequila is decent tequila. It's really hard to tell the difference when it's in a marg.

    Standard Mexican food, but definitely stop by on Cinco de Mayo. You won't be disappointed.

    Good margaritas but the Mexican food wasn't all that great. Surprisingly, my favorite here is the blackened chicken sandwich.

    Living around the corner from this place is a very good thing. The second margarita is always stronger than the first. It is a strategic reward for having more than one.

    The house margarita was not very good - way too much mix, not enough lime juice. The rest was not bad. Nice decor and bar area.
