    The decor, the soundtrack, the food. All great. House margarita gets the job done.

    Chips and Guac are on point! Also, their tacos are the best I've had in Union Sq.

    If you're a hungry & carnivorous, get the Montaňero! (steak, pork, beans, egg, avocado, salsa, rice & platano)

    If you go for lunch, order limeade. It's not on the menu and the waitress who works in the evening won't know what you are asking for.

    Try the Maranon juice (made from the Cashew fruit). A little nutty, a little fruity, all refreshing.

    Open on Thanksgiving, for those wandering around without family, looking for something that'll feed you.

    SOPES. BEST. They also make some dangerous margaritas. I recommend the Cadillac with Herradura.

    The band is melodic, enthusiastic and fun. Also, loud. Know that going in.

    Get your burritos elsewhere. Overpriced everything. Gone down hill all around.
