I don't like Mole anything, but I could drink their Mole sauce. I usually have it doused on enchiladas but it would be amazing with anything. You will not be disappointed! Love sitting on the patio!Upvote4Downvote
Genna SpeedFebruary 27, 2016Drinks were pricy, but decently strong. Carne a La Tampiquena and fajitas were delicious. Best Mexican restaurant in SA IMO.

Brooklynn SpilleJune 13, 2019I enjoyed my food, but if you are gluten free, this is not the place for you! Their options are very few and plain, because their sauce has gluten.UpvoteDownvote
