Joseph CAugust 18, 2014Better food than Cabo. Chips & salsa are great, has more consistency & thickness than Cabo's. Street tacos. Steak quesadilla. Tropical decor is cool, takes you away from the street nearby. Gets packed
Edlin ChoiJune 19, 2012Cool outdoor seating w a fire and heat lamps for when it's chilly. Was craving BBQ and it happened to be BBQ night here. Ribs hit the spot. Self serve nachos & salsa r great. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
CC TOctober 30, 2018I love the atmosphere of the place and the food was amazing and the cocktails were strong. I had the rosemary chicken enchiladas with a watermelon margarita
- Love sitting outdoors here! Frozen coconut margaritas are delish and the tropical mango enchiladas are my fave. Chips and salsa are great, too!
Good set up for reopening during covid. They filled the parking lot with sand and have a beach with umbrellas and tables. Great margaritas. They take temperatures and they turn away people maskless
Tori Jane FJuly 21, 2013I'm from Carmel, and they have another location up there. I always come here when I'm homesick. A monterey quesadilla and a margarita can cure any ailment.- Matt RosenbergJune 6, 2013There isn't a bad seat in the place. Very open and lots of light. Perfect spot to enjoy a margarita on a beautiful day at the beach.
One of my favorites places to go for the past 15 years. It's my home bar! The staff, drinks & food are impeccable!
Kyle WilsonApril 23, 2016Liked the steak fajitas - veggies were cooked just right (little bit of crunch)
The Cesar Salad is always remarkably fresh, and the kitchen does an impeccable job prepping the Romaine Lettuce.
Jeff PierceAugust 24, 2015Classic MDR Mexican restaurant. Great food, bar, outdoor patio. Perfect for sports fans.- Steven CohenJune 26, 2013Excellent service and food. Coming from the east coast it was a totally different taste of Mexican cuisine. Good choice if in the area.
- Matt RosenbergApril 2, 2013Be careful. An hour lunch has been known to turn into a 5 hour "happy hour" for me and my friends. Good margaritas and HUGE tacquitos. Enjoy!
The Baja Margarita is so delicious you don't realize how many you've had until you're stumbling out the door.
Our favorite mexican place. Coming here for 4 years and it keeps good. Nachos and salsa are epic
Andy WoodJune 18, 2013The first rule of cocktail club - you don't talk about cocktail club. (P.s. frozen raspberry margaritas are the best!!
Neena KamathFebruary 11, 2016Awesome outdoor patio! The 'Skinny' margaritas are very alcohol-first; I'd recommend the Cadillac. Food is so-so.
Greg SchultzJuly 29, 2013Donny the bartender is one of the best there is. Great pours and really funny/engaging
Bryce Van DykeSeptember 24, 2011I eat mexican all the time and this is the best I've ever had. Hands down. Had chimichangas.
- happy hour, free chips with salsa, build your own burrito
Try the skinny margaritas. Yum. Must have food; street tacos. Great serving staff- fun bartenders!
char zvolanekFebruary 11, 2013grab chips and salsa from the serve-yourself bar, then get a margarita on the rocks.
Joann JaimesAugust 13, 2013Does this look like a black wine glass? Noooo! It's a cabernet filled to the rim. Courtesy of Bartender Josh
Nicole GoddardJanuary 30, 2011YES! Happy hour here is awesome. Great vibe. Had great service, surprisingly (for venice anyway). Try the fish tacos!
Jason H.August 29, 2020COVID Times Review - too crowded and rowdy. Big outdoor patio but poor social distancing. Felt unsafe. Even had a staff member doing work right by my table throughout the eve. Won’t go back. Food ok.
Brandon BlumJuly 1, 2013chicken queso's we're average at best. "hornitos" margarita wasn't anything special but it gets the job done. good atmosphere and service was good as well. check it out for yourself ...
Bethalyn StaplesJune 8, 2013They did not sign up for the Foursquare Special, but are nice about about giving it with a house rum.
Theee best free chips and salsa. Happy hour has sweet deals too! Go for the margaritas.
CassmosphereJuly 9, 2013Watch out for auto-gratuity on checks! Two of us. She tacked on an 18% gratuity charge without saying anything. Sssshady....
- The Taste SheriffJuly 7, 2018Kind of trashy crowd but cool vibes. Below average food but I wasn’t expecting top notch in this area anyway.
they also claim that this foursquare account isnt theirs, so you should stop checking in and giving them business
- brought manager over and he wouldnt honor the special. somewhat absurd when its just a $5 rum and coke....great deal....NOT!
