    One of my all time favorites. Been coming here for years, good 'sit down' Mexican food, great chips and salsa and, of course awesome margaritas.

    This place slays, seriously. Everything is good and they do pitchers of the best margaritas. You will not regret coming here...until the hangover the next morning

    Make sure to get a citrus heavy cadillac margarita with your highly fried tortilla chips from here. The chips come with a panoply of cheese, sour cream, guacamole, picante salsa, and carne asada. Read more

    Excellent Margaritas and a tasty shrimp burrito. Don't order the chimichangas though. Get there early; it tends to get packed and the staff has a hard time keeping up.

    Margaritas are excellent, as is the steak. Only negative was the tortillas- go for the corn, not the flour. This is a regular stop on the mariachi circuit. Get ready when they pass the hat.

    Best no frills Margs in town. Go by the glass versus pitcher because the salt on the rim is especially good.

    There is always a wait at this dive Mexican spot, but once you take your first bite you'll understand why. They always overestimate the wait time (45 minutes = 15 minutes), so hang nearby.

    Start with a pitcher of Margaritas and then move onto a combo platter or if they have it, a torta!

    This place was dope - great margs and burritos. It's nice enough to sit down and eat in for dinner but totally unpretentious.

    After my Mexican friend took me to this restaurant, I understand that the Mexican food served elsewhere sucks. This is the best place!!

    Stop by Puerto Alegre for a cadillac margarita. After your first one talk your friends into splitting the oh-so-good carne asada nachos. Read more

    I found the margaritas too sweet and had to ask for less agave syrup. They also serve them in a water glass instead of a classic margarita cocktail glass. :(

    You might have to wait, but it's worth it. Classic Mexican cuisine and great margaritas. I always make a combo - it's just so personal.

    The hot salsa is nice. Smoky, but not overdone. Make sure you ask for fresh-squeezed lime in your Ritas. Costs more I'm sure, but it makes a difference.
