    Don't waste your time at any other Mexican place in town! The Gato Burrito is awesome. The most authentic for sure.

    Horny Toad margarita is fantastic. Made the way it should be. Tequila, triple sec, like juice. No sour mix. Delicious and strong.

    make sure to avoid the curved table at the top of the ramp. The person in the chair has a kitchen view and a light from the hostess station in their eyes. And, the table is freezing on cold nights.

    The restaurant made hot sauce called Gato Muerto is serious. They aren't kidding around about hot spicy it is. Delicious.
