    I've never had a meal I didn't like. Also, skinny margaritas FTW!

    Order Pupusas, the ceviche make sure it is mixed and not just fish if no then is too $$. Try Happy Hour their Lime Margarita, Chimichangas are great on a good day. Save $$ go to Charrito Caminante. Read more

    This place is pretty solid, although it's probably a 6/10 on the spice meter... Good flavor though.
