Great drinks, food and great prices :-) Always busy but its worth the wait. Grab a Hennessey Margarita while you wait yummy. The people who work there are so nice at all times.

Staff is great, Jeff, Jorge, Letty, Margaret always make sure to make us feel welcome! Pomegranate margarita is my favorite! Schoolyard nachos no beans is amazing!

Love this place. Reasonably priced. The staff is friendly for the most part. Only downside is sometimes it's so loud you can't hear yourself think

Powerful, powerful margaritas! A great spot to come with a group, but make sure you're eating something while you're drinking - the cocktails are deceptively strong.

Get a yummy top shelf Margarita for $10. Streetwise nachos were tasty too. Basic and tasty. Service was nice but yes, a bit slow

Margaritas are STRONG. I recommend mixing flavors; the raspberry peach frozen Margarita is pretty solid.

The Best Margaritas in New Jersey. Try the Chambord margarita.

The margaritas were awesome but the food and appetizers is lack luster. Just come in for drinks is all I'm saying ;-/ Oh and did I mention there is no draft beers :-/

Walked in to dine with my boyfriend, was seated then moments later some1 walks over to tells us that someone asked us to take our hats off.. I was very offended to say the least so we got up and left.

Try mixing the strawberry & coconut frozen margaritas mixed together. I'm a mixologist so I know what's good.

You must have a margarita here before you die. I'm from California and they did me proud. Enough said.
