    This is more than a burrito place. Enjoy fresh chips and salsa and strong margaritas on the patio; order the black bean salad side with anything (best-flavored beans I've had in my life).

    This Mexican mainstay has an amazing back patio; potent and fruity margaritas; sweet-as-pie servers; and decent dishes for a nice price. http://tmout.us/maA24 Read more

    Get the Huachinango (red snapper) instead of regular fish tacos, whole fish = much better! But get it with garlic sauce instead of a la Veracruzana ~ bueníssimo!

    Steak tacos are simply perfect. Well prepared, delicious and filling- ditch the sour cream and cheese and stick with cilantro, onion and lime. You won't be disappointed.

    Love this place. Sooooo good. Been here many times. Except the last time I was there I had one bitchy waitress who was completely rude & slammed drinks & plates down, stared and talked and was pushy.

    Nice upstairs bar and a dining area that was good for families. The caldo de res was good also.

    Order a large Horchata (rice water) it's so sweet and a great way to cool down while sitting in the patio.
