Mexican corn here is out of this world. Always get this and the fish tacos!!!
John HanningJuly 13, 2013Cute waiter...but the frozen margarita was not do great and the food was bland!
Michael Fox-RabinovitzMay 5, 2017Eclectic but fun decor, decent drinks, highly mediocre and uninspired food. Not bad just nothing special
- Watch out for the seating on the left side. A/C is set to polar ice cap.
Mary DuffyAugust 1, 2010Yummy mushroom quesadillas, and skinny girl margaritas...never enough guac though ;-)
Rhea 🌺 PMay 10, 2015Horrible service!! Taking order and getting food too such a long time. They barely refilled water. Food was ok- burrito was too crispy and very wimpy on rice and beans!!! NOT COOL!- Lobster tacos are good, but lobster is kinda drowned out by fried batter. :-/
Steve BearJune 9, 2012They charge for refills on iced tea. Gimme a break! Petty things like that keep me from ever coming back!
AJAugust 2, 2010Even when packed we got sat right away! Waitress definitely was concerned with flipping tables didn't have much personality but everything was good.
Chilaquiles are off the chain and their mole negro is a revelation.

"The strongest frozen margarita I've had, making it a must to cool off from the heat of the city in summertime."
Eric Venker - 8.2
"Despite being a chain, this place is a great spot for group dinners. Open space and big tables. Get the El Mazcalito to start and order a bowl of guacamole made while you watch."
Mary - 8.4
"Great brunch. Good spot for groups. Start with the Bourbon Spiked Mocha, guacamole + chips and the queso with sausage. For the main course I highly recommend the Chilaquiles with Cecina Beef."
