    I love everything here! Great variety. It's not your typical cheap American/Mexican food. They serve a verde salsa that I love. My favorite item on the menu is the Chile Relleno. Their margaritas too!

    lunch is an amazing value - the burritos might be a dollar more than chipotle, but they are just the right size, full of flavor, and come with free chips and salsa (which has the perfect kick to it)

    1) if you're looking for authentic Mexican, don't eat here 2) the menu has about 7 dishes to choose from, so kiss freedom of choice goodbye 3) you shouldn't need reservations for a Mexican place

    Gluten free dining options are abundant. The staff are careful and knowledgeable. They also have an impressive beer menu.

    The Hot Guava Margarita is the best margarita I've ever had, and the chile relleno is a fantastic vegetarian option.

    Guacamole is insanely yummy. Make sure to tell them to get a damn blender so they can serve frozen margaritas. ;)

    Get one of their higher end tequilas straight, with a side of the spicy tomato juice. May sound weird, but it is smooth and delicious. Wonderful combo.

    Great food... BUT if you're like me and hate cilantro, be sure and tell them to "hold it". They spread that vile weed over EVERYTHING!!!!

    The chips and salsa are amazing... For something that's free, you can't get better than this!

    Great beer list and rotating drafts. Beer nerds, be sure to ask for extended beer list.

    Go after 10pm on weeknights for cheap (but still delicious) tacos! Try the nopales asados (grilled cactus).

    Food was good. Maybe the server (Ben) had a bad day but he sucked. I may be willing to give this spot one more try.

    The Restaurant Week Menu here is entirely vegetarian. It's also only $20 for dinner.

    Don't forget this place for brunch. Had carnitas and a Green Mary in their outdoor seating.

    Tamales are incredible. Pork and hominy stew is best value. Dogfishhead Raison d'être on tap.

    The food isn't seasoned that great. It's all bland. 😕 The pernil only had a tiny distinct taste of cloves(no-no), it was costly, veggies were mushy, lights too dim, and pretty sure the vegan is not

    Horrible service, no one helped us. Just stared and made us wait
