Fajitas, enchiladas are top notch for the basics. The decor is unlike a lot of Downtown places. HH till 7pm is rare. Go for the Swirl! Or only $7 for Patron Margs.

The bacon wrapped shrimp and grilled chicken salad are amazing! Also highly recommend the table side guac! Everything was incredibly fresh and taste amazing!

It is NOT on Brazos, The address is wrong. The entrance is at the corner of 3rd and San Jacinto, across San Jacinto from the Vince Young Steakhouse and across 3rd St from the new Hyatt Place Hotel.

Nice place. A little pricy but good. Happy Hour weekdays from 3-7. Supposedly cheap eats and drinks!

Tip to the kitchen... Don't dumb down the spice if your salsa to please the tourists. You have really good flavors.

Eat the lobster in texmex! It is on small one pager menu. Surprisingly big and not too pricy.

Pineapple margaritas and sopapillas are good. However I was disappointed in the frozen margaritas and it's extremely overpriced.

Terrible,chewy enchiladas, and they came with rice and lettuce instead of the traditional rice and beans. Service was terrible (wait to be seated,wait for drinks,wait for food).
