    Good service. Very generous portions. Not the best taco you'll have in your life but it was pretty good.

    Watch out for the girls wearing nacho cheese helmets that come in after the Dodger games. They'll steal your drinks and break your hearts.

    Decent margaritas. Festive decor. The food is more reminiscent of Mexican fare you'd find outside of California.
