The food is great! But one tequila shot starts from 8 bucks. I'd better go to Tijuana to drink up

Ask for their extra spicy salsa and slather it on... It's a deep TJ burn!

Ask for the hot chipotle salsa with your chips. It's free and far superior to the salsa they give you by default! Read more

Best Taco Tuesday, love the 80s music at night! $2 tacos, chicken and carne asada are yum. Try the churros.

Chip & salsa are great! Actual meal (burrito carne asada) wasn't all that great. Offer virgin Pina coladas, though!

A tourista joint with gringo-ized food. Expect the same ambiance as Joe's Crab Shack with equally poor food.

If you come here often, go for the tequila club. 50 tequilas and you get your picture on the wall of fame.
