Dan PyatetskyOctober 27, 2020Smoked marlin taco is excellent. Flavor is like fried smoked mortadella, great with all the accoutrements
- Willis Allen Real EstateFebruary 20, 2012What we love is the feeling that you are actually in Mexico; the food, the ambience, and the people. Love the pork tamale in banana leaf, chilaquiles in green sauce, machaca, the goat, and posole.
Chris EckeardSeptember 22, 2016Have the coffee, brewed with cinnamon for an awesome flavor. The chorizo and eggs is awesome. Love the chilaquiles with green sauce.
Sara PageAugust 10, 2018Their food and margaritas the prices are fairly reasonable and also their food is outstanding- Chris EckeardMay 12, 2017Food is great and the coffee is the best but it can be understaffed and when busy the patrons are neglected.
Kavi ShankarJanuary 26, 2013Great food, great music and great atmosphere. I often eat here with my family and we love it. Some of the best in town!
Jessica GarrowSeptember 26, 2011This place is great! Authentic Mexican. Plenty of options, fresh & flavorful. It's such a quaint little place, tucked away & meant for locals to enjoy.
note to self (and other vegans): sour cream and cheese comes with everything by default
Ivan LopezJuly 16, 2010Great Mexican food. Place is kinda hidden. Don't know when they have music but I was blown away. Definitely part of the ambiance. Cannot go wrong with carne asada.
Dust AgentFebruary 17, 2011Try the veggie burrito and get the veggies you need! Rice, beans, potato, cactus, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, cream, and cotija cheese!- Live salsa on Fridays from 7 to 10. Mariachis on Sundays from 6 to 8.
Stroy AustinOctober 13, 2012So Amazing!!!! Get the enchiladas w/ mole!!! You won't be disappointed!!!!
Play it safe and make a reservation. Then order anything on the menu. Buen Proveche!
Food it’s to die for but the service needs to improve. Our waitress never came to give us refills on our drinks until we got our food . Or didn’t even take any empty plates ...
Vivien AriolaSeptember 22, 2010Great food and music. You can see Manny Cepeda. Call to see if he is playing. By the way, the coffee is soooo good!
Chris RichardsFebruary 15, 2013Sent us home with a dozen corn tortillas for about 3 bucks! Fish Tacos tomorrow night!
Ali ConwellJune 11, 2014Four square users lie. There is no taco Tuesday special here damnit. I really wanted a $1 taco.
Cochinitas Pibil is very good. Also try a Cadillac Margarita.
Celene CDecember 2, 2012Waited over 30 minutes for soup and when we decided to leave they still charged us for our drinks!
