I'd come here more often if they had an actual lunch menu with smaller portions and better prices. No one likes garlicky, half-eaten Tex-Mex taking up room in the fridge
Tana BabcockAugust 22, 2015I go here for their late night menu - tasty, cheap, good for sharing! The service can kinda be 'meh' by the end of the night.
The Seattle TimesJune 2, 2010Tex-Mex menu, including soups and salads, burgers and barbecue, tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, seafood, steak and chicken. Invigorating sauces meet fresh ingredients. Texas-style nachos are a must. Read more
You've had the nachos. Now try the grilled stuffed jalapeños w/ goat cheese and bacon.
Nachos are Delish. Butternut quesadilla is a must try
- Ivan EdwardsApril 8, 2016The Happy Hour $1.50 tacos are good. Skip the Nachos Grande. Bland and doesnt come with beef. That's $3.00 extra. Thats not Happy Hour.
Rachel HartleyMarch 8, 2012Great happy hour after 10 pm, excellent steak nachos, try the sangria(s)!
Maureen SullivanJune 19, 2010Try the matador margarita! Very addicting.... And accompanied with the happy hour nachos = delicious!- Bomb happy hour nachos, they're definitely big enough for 3 or 4 Read more
Try the nachos with guacamole - Best nachos in Ballard! $5 on happy hour!
Bummer about day time service being so poor! Love all the servers and bartenders at night!
Charlie BeckAugust 12, 2010Happy hour 4-6pm and 10pm to close, $4 food items, flipping nachos are where it's at
Bill ChiJune 25, 2011Happy hour, a magarita, the nachos, done. dont even think about leaving here w/o drinking some tequila.
Kara TylerApril 3, 2021Horrible staff horrible attitudes. Been many times but has deteriorated. I will never recommend or subject myself to this place again. Kindness wins they have none. Disgusted
Jennifer BurlingtonSeptember 6, 201721+ only. The food was good, but nothing to write home about. Nice atmosphere.
Liz NgoOctober 30, 2011Margaritas ain't bad before Halloween bash. Try jalapeno and cucumber margarita.
- Get a beer and nachos and sit outside to watch Ballard go by
