    When you get brain freeze from a margarita (not if, but when), put your tongue to the roof of your mouth.

    The Ginger margarita is out of this world. Rocks, no salt.

    Sangria! In a carafe obviously. Don't bother with a glass.

    Skip the cornbread (dry) and the flan (too eggy). Everything else was delish. Gourmet margarita on the rocks ftw.

    House salad dressing is very good. Cumin, garlic, crushed red pepper vinagrette.

    Best margaritas around! Unfortunately their hours are a bit weird, so I'll find myself wanting to go only for them to be closed. Superb food as well.

    Stale chips, bland salsa, flavorless guacamole. What a disappointment.

    I can't believe they have a margarita machine, no fresh lime juice. Won't squeeze any either. Not coming back.
