It's been said..get the Sangrita (margarita and sangria swirl) and an order of the queso. It's amazing!

This is a good place to see how much alcohol your date can handle. Get a pitcher to start with and take notes.

Masitas De Puerco is by far my fave dish... I rarely eat pork, but the meat is so tender and flavorful I can't resist
Christopher FitzgeraldApril 22, 2013
Lovely if you're outside but the food and drinks are not worth a long wait that is all too common. You can get better Mexican in about 5 other places nearby. If outdoor dining is essential however...

The golden Cadillac is very good, pricey but worth every dollar.
McKay HollomanMarch 14, 2013
Chicken Madera is to die for! It might be the Margarita's talking
CharMarch 5, 2017
Would skip. The only good thing about this place is the venue, nice to sit at during spring and summer. Food is mediocre at best, despite having Hispanic staff, guacamole is not even completely mashed
