Matt VahleOctober 23, 2013All the other tips seem to talk about bad service and only their booze. Place has awesome food. Get the tacos. Bomb. Service was great.
Andy DavidsonApril 23, 2016Upscale Mexican inspired food. Nice beer menu and tasty cocktails. The Fish tacos were good.
Amanda HennessyMay 15, 2016Service is dependent on who you get. Everything that we had food and drink was excellent!! The guacamole is great, the salads and fantastic, and the margaritas &bloody Mary's didn't disappoint.
SugiApril 13, 2017Our experience was terrible and rude. The food was OK but nothing special. There are definitely better places for Mexican food and drink. Pity, the place looked like fun. One you can miss out on.
Emma LawrenceOctober 5, 2018Yummy tacos and apps and such a fun atmosphere! Prices weren't too bad either!
Karen ChisholmFebruary 20, 2013Cucumber Jalapeño Martini is to die for and the Chili Relleno is the best I've ever had and I am from Texas, Capitol of TexMex!
Vítek H.October 13, 2016Barbecue chicken salat is a must! Great service, really nice bar/restaurant. Love it!
Laura LarrabeeMay 8, 2018Pomegranate margarita, chips and salsa. Can’t go wrong with a coors light 😂
John KiddeMay 29, 2016Solid atmosphere, good chicken quesadilla, decent beer menu, cool place overall.
Maxine ResevoirAugust 11, 2015The burrito supreme with carne assada was delicious! Great atmosphere 😄
- Carlos BaezNovember 30, 2015Ok Mexican food. Great happy hour. For dancing, the dance floor is small and the scene is pretty fratty
The SocaletteAugust 27, 2013Great specials every day- tonight's: $5 wristband for 25¢ drinks all night!
Sunshine AnayaJuly 21, 2013Buy one drink get another for a quarter! (Wells, All Mexican Beers, Domestic Drafts)
Happy hour 7 days a week from 4 to 8 with 2 for the price of 1 drinks and half off appetizers!
Amazing ambiance, food, and of course tequila :)- HUGE delicious quesadillas and the 2-4-1 Margarita's are prime!
Konrad BurchardtOctober 31, 2011Check your tip! Because they add the grattitude on the final price! Nice drinks nice food!
Brittany EsserSeptember 7, 2020The server seemed to be the only one working. We waited in line for way too long only to eat food that was just okay. Tap water tastes like dirty change. Location is nice but would not recommend.
SandbarFebruary 28, 2011Margarita Mondays= 2 for the price of 1 on ALL MARGS $15 or less ALL DAY!! We open at 11:30am!!
Le Thu TranApril 6, 2016Did not like their happy hour. Drinks were so watered down. $90 on their happy hour drinks and we didn't even feel tipsy!
- Open 365 days/nights a year. Never a let down! Ask for the bam special:)

"Head straight to the back....all the way out the back door to the back bar, thats where it's at, Captain's BBQ in the back corner and plenty of TV's. It's the place to be for Sunday football !!"

"One of my favorite bars in SB. Mostly because the staff was so nice, specially security. Don't expect it to be the case if you act inappropriately though. They will do their job and kick you out."
