Get a pork quesadilla. You'll be doing the Mexican hat dance of joy.

They charge $2 per head to serve your self bought birthday cake! And they allow a maximum of 3 credit cards per table.

In the back left nook there's a door - it's looks like a bathroom but it's not. What are they hiding I'm there?

Portions not big enough for the price. Cheaped out on the Barbocoa. Huge bone. Tiny little meat. Weak Sangria. Blah.

Flagging down a waiter here to get your check is very difficult!

Worst mexican ever! Over priced Food took at least 30 min and my steak that I asked medium rare was more rare. If you want to spend $ on good mexican food, Go to Rosa Mexicana on w 17th and Bway

This place is not ok. Forget service...you can't served tortillas chips from a bag and beans from a can. Anyone who likes this place should stop writing reviews
Gabriel HowardFebruary 7, 2012
Frozen margys all day
Jeff YablonApril 28, 2010
OK so... the food was only OK. But seriously: two $5 margaritas on a Tuesday note and you'll be DONE.

This place is horrible. Super sweet drinks with no alcohol and food is really not good.
Alex NiedermanNovember 28, 2010
Food was good, but the service was utterly incompetent.
