Old school Mexican; really fantastic carne asada special; solid margaritas when you pick the tequila. Old school vibe, good place!

Great drinks! Salsa was too spicy for my wife, but had a great flavor. Good was okay. I would go back for the drinks, though!

Their specials are super affordable and come with a lot of food, the staff here is always super friendly too. And yes, the margarita's are great.

Great happy hour! Get a taquito, quesadilla, and nachos when you buy a margarita.

Typical american mexican food. Big plates with cheese sauce on the enchiladas and bland refried beans. Not great salsa. I prefer cleaner fresher more authentic mexican food.

Go for dinner on a Sunday night to be serenaded by the 8-piece mariachi band.

The food at La Fonda is SO much better. The only good thing here is the margaritas and their chips are good. Food was horrible, just like the service.

Cheese enchiladas taste like they're made with Velveeta.
