    Pretty decent food... Can't go wrong with the quesadillas, or even a chimichanga! And of course, great drinks!

    It's not the most authentic Mexican food in town, but I've always been satisfied when I leave. It's close to the university and easy to get in and out of.

    I have always liked their margaritas & I would order the nachos with it. The surf & turf was always awesome. It is also in a nice location, close to different stores & the university.

    I wasn't thrilled withe the chips or the chicken tacos. It was chunky meat instead of being shredded. Our waiter was great though!
