    Go to this Gaslamp Quarter bar during happy hour (3 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily) for half-price drinks and appetizers (including carne asada fries).

    This Mexican restaurant is simply amazing. The food is nice, eat and drink at the bar to make most of it. Craft beers are refreshing while the tacos tickles your tongue

    A cool spot in the otherwise-touristy Gaslamp Quarter. Recharge with a margarita (lots to choose from) and a Cali burrito. Mix & match tacos lets you sample several types if you're indecisive like me.

    I suspect everything is good by the looks of what was coming. out of the kitchen, but the carne asada burrito was great. Opted for the half & half sauce, both were good but the green sauce was my fav

    It was awesome. I had the surf & turf burrito, frozen house margarita and was easily convinced by our dime of a waitress to try the frozen mojito. Everything was great! I'd go again for sure!

    Try the California burrito with rice on the side and red and white sauce in top! You can’t beat the salsa and chips beforehand!

    Go for taco Tuesday. The Tecate beer is cheap, but the margaritas are worth the extra cost. The street tacos are amazing and the hot dog they make is great, especially for $2.

    Spicy marg was legit and the fried cheese was on point. Was there to grab food around midnight on a Thursday and it was more of a bar scene, the music was definitely too loud but still enjoyed overall

    One of the 10 best taco spots in the US... No joke, best taco joint ever. Only complaint, the music's a bit loud.

    Amazing taco Tuesday! Try the hot dog as well - it was awesome. Any of the tacos were great - $2. $2 Tecate was OK - but spend the money for the margaritas instead!

    Come during happy hour (3-7) to get some great deals on some of the best Mexican you'll eat outside of Mexico! The Guacamole is amazing, and they have a HUGE tequila menu.

    Best happy hour in the Gaslamp. We come here 2-3 times a week. Nicole and Devin (a.k.a Devil) are the best servers. You definitely get your money's worth here!!

    Carne asada and carnitas are the way to go. Also don't miss the chips and guacamole. Happy hour from 3-7 is half off ALL drinks and apps.

    Cool place with some solid tequila drinks. Had their popular margarita on the rocks and purple haze (frozen marg + sangria mix) - both killer. Reeeeally nice bar.

    Burritos and drinks are great. Recommend getting there early for dinner, at 6 on a Saturday it was a 45 minute wait already.

    Carne Asada fries are a must! Especially during Happy Hour! They are 50% off, and so are their amazing margaritas! It took three of us girls to finish it! Soooo good :)

    Skip the sugar headache and order a fresh-squeezed margarita to go with your carne asada fries. 1/2 off apps and drinks from 3-7 p.m., plus late night happy hour kicks off at 10 p.m.
