    Better food than Cabo. Chips & salsa are great, has more consistency & thickness than Cabo's. Street tacos. Steak quesadilla. Tropical decor is cool, takes you away from the street nearby. Gets packed

    Cool outdoor seating w a fire and heat lamps for when it's chilly. Was craving BBQ and it happened to be BBQ night here. Ribs hit the spot. Self serve nachos & salsa r great. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    Love sitting outdoors here! Frozen coconut margaritas are delish and the tropical mango enchiladas are my fave. Chips and salsa are great, too!

    Good set up for reopening during covid. They filled the parking lot with sand and have a beach with umbrellas and tables. Great margaritas. They take temperatures and they turn away people maskless

    I love the atmosphere of the place and the food was amazing and the cocktails were strong. I had the rosemary chicken enchiladas with a watermelon margarita

    I'm from Carmel, and they have another location up there. I always come here when I'm homesick. A monterey quesadilla and a margarita can cure any ailment.

    There isn't a bad seat in the place. Very open and lots of light. Perfect spot to enjoy a margarita on a beautiful day at the beach.

    The Cesar Salad is always remarkably fresh, and the kitchen does an impeccable job prepping the Romaine Lettuce.

    Excellent service and food. Coming from the east coast it was a totally different taste of Mexican cuisine. Good choice if in the area.

    The Baja Margarita is so delicious you don't realize how many you've had until you're stumbling out the door.

    Be careful. An hour lunch has been known to turn into a 5 hour "happy hour" for me and my friends. Good margaritas and HUGE tacquitos. Enjoy!

    Awesome outdoor patio! The 'Skinny' margaritas are very alcohol-first; I'd recommend the Cadillac. Food is so-so.

    The first rule of cocktail club - you don't talk about cocktail club. (P.s. frozen raspberry margaritas are the best!!

    COVID Times Review - too crowded and rowdy. Big outdoor patio but poor social distancing. Felt unsafe. Even had a staff member doing work right by my table throughout the eve. Won’t go back. Food ok.
