Bloody Mary can be made vegan - just ask for it to be made with Worcestershire sauce. Garden enchiladas are also a great vegan option - just specify no cheese. Also loved the jalapeno margarita!
Benjamin GarciaDecember 2, 2015Honey Jalapeño Fried Chicken Tacos are the best! And that bloody orange margarita on tab is very authentic and delicious!!
Mandy SommerfieldMarch 17, 2012You know a place is classy when they give you plasticware wrapped up in a napkin. Also hope ya like mushrooms because you can't get it taken off the veggie taco.
Ben MackeySeptember 3, 2018Come when it isn’t so busy and get the tacos! The Yucatan, the Honey Fried Chicken and the Chupacabra tacos were all excellent.
Megan RussellJuly 4, 2012Excellent food, the nachos were great and everyone else I was with really loved what they ordered. Anything you order off the menu will be delicious.
Amanda MorelandJuly 6, 2015Went there with a bachelorette party- they gave us so many drinks. Awesome spot, and the drinks were good!!
Angelique PoolFebruary 4, 2016Have the orange chipotle brisket taco but stay away from the chicken tinga taco
Ike CoronisDecember 5, 2012We shared a lot of food, steak and pulled pork tacos were a little chewy. The Chupacabra burger was really good.
Rachel MercerMarch 7, 2013This is really the bar to go to when it's after 10pm on 6th street and you really just don't want to buy that pizza.
Sean SalmonMarch 11, 2012Top notch Micheladas from the bartender in the back bar. Home made recipe, best I've ever had.
Paul CanterburyMarch 19, 2015Do yourself a favour and have a Texas Tornado. It will knock your socks off!
Nigel SadeOctober 3, 2014The ginger margarita is amazing and the blood orange margarita is good to boot!
Jennifer LopezOctober 10, 2014Ok so, the food is awesome. Kinda weird that there is a unisex bathroom and people bring thier kids. Who wants to use the restroom in front of others children?- Be sure to order the Smoked Pulled Pork stuffed Jalapenos and the Chupacabra burger (1/2 lb Ground Cabrito patty,Bacon, Chipoltle Pimento Cheese & Spicy Mayo!
Chung-yee NgoJuly 20, 2016The white sangria was very refreshing. The pork belly tacos a little too greasy.
Ask for the ranch, Jalapeño, cilantro sauce. It adds flavor to any dish!
Craig ForsterMarch 18, 2011The art on the wall here is by Federico, a fantastic local artist with pieces on 5th & Congress and Cheapo's on Lamar.
Brianne ForrestJanuary 13, 2013The bartender hates my guts, and my Patriots jersey ! And my Red Sox hoodie! He asked if I had Celtics socks. I told him I had Bruins undies... I hate his Yankees hat.

Tim LampeMarch 17, 2012Bring a water gun in the likely case that there is a table of college football fans pretending they're at the game and cheering loudly.
Bob BurnsMarch 11, 2012The salsa is out of this world. Just the right amount of zing. Fresh and flavorful.
Food is GREAT, plates are big, the staff is sweet. Eat here!
Kate K.March 12, 2013"House favorite" pulled pork tacos are disgusting, & so is the fact that they do a SUPER limited SXSW menu, all served on paper plates w/ plastic cutlery. Lame. This is a restaurant, not a picnic.
Tom CannonAugust 17, 2012Fish Tacos Rock. Guacamole is Awesome... Tortilla Chips are something to be desired....
Daisy NguyenAugust 9, 2010Service is slow, but friendly. The portabella fajitas are yummiest I've ever had! Salsa is wonderfully hot! Well worth the wait!
Stop in on a weekday & hit up Mike for a tasty drink, he's a mixologist
Eleanor GarthAugust 28, 2011Try the weird Corona mixed with margarita concoction - best of both worlds!
