Get the tacos or quesadillas with al pastor de pork. With a side of plantains and the best frozen margaritas in the city, of course.

Haven't been in years and now remember why. The waitress vanished. Our guac and chips were never replenished. The cappuccino machine was broken. My wife's order was completely bungled.
Juliette Dallas-FeeneyMarch 14, 2011
Great place for groups. I get down with the chips and guac. Fish tacos are the bomb. Really good vegetarian options too.
