- Christopher FlossNovember 5, 2016Awesome #guacamole and chips! The chicken quesadilla is a great appetizer! Don't leave out the #margaritas.
The new bar they installed is huge improvement. Now if we could get the bartenders to stop over-filling the margarita glasses with ice, and leave some room for the $9 drink itself.
Rachel StraubJanuary 8, 2012Margaritas get you wasted- well worth the $9. Food is not to die for, but stick with appetizers- queso fundido in particular- and you won't be disappointed!
FoxDecember 21, 2014Sweet peeps saved my lost bag for me when I left after their magical margaritas. Shrimp tacos and Mexican corn... #Tass
Claire MJune 20, 2019Consistently good food with consistently poor service. Love the Barbacoa beef nachos
David GethersAugust 11, 2011Angie and Rachel gr8 bartenders know the menu and have a good bartender hand ;-).. You will get nice.. 1 drink for amateurs, 2 for pros!
Nick BrennanFebruary 24, 2014Real talk - decent tequila is decent tequila. It's really hard to tell the difference when it's in a marg.
Bart TubalinalJuly 22, 2013Good margaritas but the Mexican food wasn't all that great. Surprisingly, my favorite here is the blackened chicken sandwich.
Everything here is mostly fried, but the tortilla soup is good & filling.
Joseph B.August 26, 2014Standard Mexican food, but definitely stop by on Cinco de Mayo. You won't be disappointed.- Margaritas are great, pick your own tequila is cool!
Autty CrosbyJanuary 26, 2015These are not normal margaritas., 1=3...so Amazeballs and so worth the hangover
Zach Solomon-BeloinDecember 28, 2015The house margarita was not very good - way too much mix, not enough lime juice. The rest was not bad. Nice decor and bar area.
Myra RubinMay 6, 2010Reminded why I rarely visit my old 'friend'! Margaritas, food, service 110% better @Big Star, Mercadito, Frontera, Dos Diablos, Frontera n Adobo. Sorry! But true :-)
Go ahead and ask for an extra bowl of salsa...it goes quick & your chips aren't going to want to wait!
- Living around the corner from this place is a very good thing. The second margarita is always stronger than the first. It is a strategic reward for having more than one.
All over The worldMarch 14, 2011Rachel an Abel are the best!! Margaritas are great full of alcohol!! Drink up!!!
- So-so mexican place. It's a local staple. Order steak tacos or chipotle chicken....order more that one rocks margarita at your own risk.
Yesenia GrimaldoMay 19, 2013Rox is a very bad server..she rushed us to finish our drinks! THEN she hands me the check n tells me to pay cause she has to close the register. .walks away angry when I told her I wasnt done drinking
Kevin HershockMarch 6, 2011The margaritas are very strong, but they taste so good... Magic? I think so.
Cati Bautista-BirtsMarch 12, 2018Service was terrible. Manager Carlos, was very rude! Uncle Julio way better!!
