The Pernil Romero is divine. And for a savory/sweet/delicious cocktail go for the Smoked and Roasted!
Patrick HayesJune 19, 2015
Come here weekdays for lunch and get some pretty delicious sandwiches
Ryan AmbsMarch 8, 2015
Great drinks but always absurdly crowded.
Nina YiamsamathaAugust 25, 2012
Don't miss the Jalisco Fizz and Garden Variety Margarita! Tasty drinks, but they totally pack a punch.
Stephen KreickDecember 5, 2012
Every drink we had tasted delicious except the Smoked and Roasted. It tasted like how a dentist office smells.
Mikahla VicinoNovember 19, 2017
Attentive bartenders and well made drinks. What more do you need?
Breeze SkrrtJuly 23, 2015
Crowded and young at times. Live music is overbearing, yes. But you can't argue with the drinks. Go early or late if you want a vibe.
Lucia LNovember 10, 2013
I just had a margarita with kale juice, moonshine with smoked cinnamon bark, and tecate with Bloody Mary mix. This place is a must!!
jessica m. hintermeisterJuly 23, 2012
Garden Variety Margarita: blue agave blanco tequila, ginger & kale juice, lime juice, agave nectar, smoked sea salt.

Go on an off night, and earlier. Get the "I hear Banjos!" but maybe don't drink 4-5 of them because...hi blackout!

Can't go past the Garden Variety Margarita. But if you do, get the Banjo.

Generally solid cocktails, but avoid the one with the smoke infusion - it's gimmicky and unpleasant.

Brooklyn vibe, great cocktails. Can get crowded.
