The Fish Tacos were bland, the rice had an unappetizing texture and flavor, but the Arizona Egg Rolls were enjoyable. If you're in the market for fish tacos, Marie Catribs has the best in my book.

Delicious fresh salsa, and always a good variety of craft beers on draft!

The only place in town that you can get the weakest margarita in town and pay more for it than you do for your food.

Fire tacos, carnitas, wet burritos... Really good stuff. Fresh chips and salsa. Rachel and Taylor are great bartenders!!

Eating here now, to clear up previous posts...they have toilet paper, margaritas are 5.75. And extra salsa is now FREE. Food is incredible and the staff is great.

The fire tacos will burn your mouth off but they are super delicious. Get sour cream.

Order the veggie quesadilla, and adding chicken is a must! Don't forget the avocado-ranch dressing!

Try the Cactus Juice. And after 9, they have an awesome late night value menu! Awesome place.

Couldn't be farther from real Mexican food. This is just a step above taco bell...... Very disappointed. Great staff but find flavor for your food.

The Cuban pork appetizers were very good but stay away from the fish tacos

Pretty pretty pretty..... Good. Didn't go here for drinks but I get the impression this place is always empty so if you wanna get wasted during the day in an empty bar this might be the place.
