    Their mole is really good, and their portions are really great. They don't try to give you a trough of food. The food is great.

    Nice margaritas, but they also still have the wonderful and salty old school tortilla chips that every other Mexican joint has done away with. Most are gross and bland, but these are actually good!

    Great food at a decent price, the Día de Muertos stuff at the entrance is a nice touch

    Lulas never fails! Excellent variations of margaritas and can't go wrong with the classic Cadillac. Tamales are a rare find and very delicious here.

    This restaurant serves a variety of Mexican dishes and has a great bar and patio to enjoy margaritas at, after your day at the beach.

    Chicken Tequitos & mushroom crepe are excellent. House margarita's are STRONG :) Visiting from Australia this is great Mexican cuisine.

    The roasted, cheese-stuffed chile rellenos are the best I’ve had - maybe in Texas, but just incredible.

    Great margaritas for the west side. Get there before 7pm for happy hour.

    Baja fish tacos hit the spot. The margaritas are lethal and pack a quick punch. Watch out for the hangover that starts approx 30 minutes following the first sip...

    My favorite margarita place- happy hour in the bar area 1-6 everyday. Ask for Margarita the waitress. And don't forget to get the pickled carrots!

    Way over priced for the same food you could get at the 7-11 frozen food section. Their margaritas are small and also over priced. The only plus is that they are on Main street.
