Amanda FoleyOctober 26, 2016Go here for some yummy Mexican food + margaritas after you wander around Old Town park.
Amy LeighJanuary 24, 2020Strong margaritas. Lots of food. Salsa has good level of spice. Fresh food.
Peggy KingJune 9, 2013The service was great, however the fajita beef burrito was ALL mushroom little grilled bell pepper, and 3 small bites of beef! Would not have that again.
Arthur MitchellFebruary 7, 2012Above average, but has that 'tourista' food feel of old town. My carnitas were tender, but lacked the bark of superior carnitas. The Naga Dragon Salsa was hot, but not the barn burner I expected.
Candace LahrJuly 25, 2015The tortillas are the best especially due to the fact that it was handmade.
Alexander M. Rizik MayoMarch 6, 2017Asked for the free flan after checking in.. got a free fried ice cream instead 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Pollo con crema is amazing. Don't forget the tortillas. I think they're the best in Old Town.
Karla PadillaOctober 18, 2011Best chilaquiles this side of the border! Hands down! Plus, homemade tortillas!! It gets no better!!
Steer away for a while. Locals that come every other month. Quality and service seriously declined over last three visits.
Sarah IshoApril 8, 2013This place is DISGUSTING! It's the place white people go to get "authentic Mexican food" and thinks its delicious when really it's 10 bars lower than Chevys, yuck!
Christina MinnaSeptember 11, 2010The best tortilla soup in the united states! Handmade warm flour tortillas are fantastic too. If you are in town you must try both.
Pelin Güvenç KefelApril 4, 2016Totally recommend the 1800 Coco Pina margarita it is reaaally good. The fajitas are average...
Joe DesenaDecember 29, 2011Crazy crowed. Avoid driving if possible. Parking a nightmare, but worth the waiting time. Love ir
deestivFebruary 19, 2015ENORMOUS margs, delicious food, and a mariachi band. Does it get any better?
Marissa MMay 7, 2011Great portions. VERY filling. Get the guacamole and try the Cafe Coyote Quesadilla. Delicious!
SalFebruary 28, 2015Tacos are oily. It is good...but not the best. I would rather go to other places before this one in old town...such as Fiesta de Reyes
Raquel Fiorucci 🇺🇸 ❤ 🇫🇷July 30, 2011Food was awesome. Service was even better. Ask for Nohemi. She's very efficient and pleasant :-)
Geoffrey MasonSeptember 4, 2011Kimberly ROCKS service here... Follow her food and drink suggestions and you can't go wrong!
Shane BaileyJuly 4, 2014GOOD: Habanero Margarita & Spicy Salsa Sampler were interesting ... BAD: Watered down cheese dip & bland guacamole.
Rhonda LNovember 11, 2012Food is yummy. Service is good. Get the handmade tortillas if nothing else.
