The margaritas are bomb diggity - best Mexican you can get in the capital region
- Philip MazzottiMarch 30, 2014When you get brain freeze from a margarita (not if, but when), put your tongue to the roof of your mouth.
- Beth KivlenApril 10, 2013The sangarita is the best of both worlds....sangria AND Margarita.... yumm!
- The Ginger margarita is out of this world. Rocks, no salt.
Aran ThrasherMay 8, 2010Skip the cornbread (dry) and the flan (too eggy). Everything else was delish. Gourmet margarita on the rocks ftw.
Melissa ThompsonApril 3, 2010House salad dressing is very good. Cumin, garlic, crushed red pepper vinagrette.
Kayla FurniaMay 31, 2016Best margaritas around! Unfortunately their hours are a bit weird, so I'll find myself wanting to go only for them to be closed. Superb food as well.
Jaime EwaltJune 18, 2010don't get there after 9 and expect to sit on the patio (they 'close' the patio earlier then the rest of the restaurant. stupid. might not go back as I am a late night diner who like outside.
Beth EdelmanSeptember 1, 2012I can't believe they have a margarita machine, no fresh lime juice. Won't squeeze any either. Not coming back.
