Dany JollyDecember 31, 2016The food was fresh and delicious. The salsa and chips were so good I almost didn't need my entree. I'm glad I ordered the steak tacos. So delicious!
- Try the yam tacos, the spicy jalapeno salsa is the best! Or better yet, just order a side of the salsa. It makes a great dare.
Michael WAugust 25, 2012If you go see if you get seated in Angela's section, as she is one of the best servers I've ever experienced. She is outgoing, offers great suggestions & overall a very nice person. Enjoy!Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Bonnie LakeAugust 23, 2016I eat here often. I especially like the gas fires on the tables in the bar when it's cold with their chicken tortilla soup.
Lenny GalloAugust 11, 2014While paella is not something you normally rave about–this one takes the cake. Absolutely amazing—one of the best I've ever had. Order it with chicken or steak. If you want some protein.
The coolest outdoor seating area on cap hill. Plenty of bar seating and they have one of those table top fire pits. Good views of street traffic is a bonus.- Irina GushchinaMay 17, 2015Nice atmosphere for dinner and drinks with friends. Everything we ordered was delicious! P.s. they even have horchata :)
Everything I've ordered here has been great. There's always something good on tap.
Veronica Weber-StilesOctober 2, 2011The green tomatillo salsa is amazing! Very flavorful, not spicy. Rice is tasty and moist. Tortilla soup infuses the chicken with flavor!
Race BannonApril 16, 2013I was walking around Capitol Hill to find a nice place to eat and tried this place. I'm so glad I did. The food and service were wonderful.
A Seattle restaurant that has fish tacos! Not up to San Diego standards, but they were still decent. Lots of well made margaritas here.
Nicole GoddardApril 9, 2012The natural margarita is delicious. They use FRESH limes and not the artificial sweet and sour crap :) I also loved the fish tacos. YUM!
Sadie TJanuary 23, 2015Great friendly service. Must try the Fresa margarita, it's made with house infused strawberry tequila making it not only fresh but not too sweet as well.
Duncan GibbsFebruary 5, 2023Beet salad for arugula lovers! Savory and sweet entree stands on its own.
Steve HillApril 17, 2011Contrary to many Yelp ratings, this place is superb. Portions are reasonably sized and filling. Several of us wondered why they charge for chips and salsa. Try the Jalapeno Margarita.
The Grande Oaxaca Tostada is HUGE! Do yourself a favor and share with at least two other people! Ceviche is melt-in-your-mouth yummy :)
Stick to the tacos all other stuff is expensive and unauthentic. Get them for $5 at happy hour after 11pm.
sean vasquezOctober 23, 2012self sitting so my tip sit in the main dinning room the backbar too noisy.try there salsa green and red with chips delicious.
Sarah OAugust 9, 2014The jalapeño margaritas were on point. Super super spicy. As far as the tacos, maybe I wasn't drunk enough for them. Kinda boring. However the empanadas were bomb.
Steven RecaMarch 6, 2013Margaritas are so good! 8/10. They are served in a tall glass so you can't drink the salt.
Matthew MonsoorApril 18, 2014Try the Jala-piña Poquitos margarita with jalapeño-infused tequila & pineapple. Yum good!
Just go for chip & guac plus a margarita. The salsa is SUPER mild so be sure to mix in some habanero and other sauce.
Isabella OrganSeptember 13, 2011Right next to Havana, this place is new, roomy, nice and has some crafty cocktails and gives you a mountain of guacamole! Read more- Veronica Weber-StilesOctober 2, 2011Oh, and Jeanelle (a server) was very friendly and helpful with info about the food and the area. Great customer service!
Foxxy BJuly 3, 2016good happy hour (every day) but mediocre food and drink -- watery/heavily iced margaritas, odd guac, etc.... a lot of space inside and out
Kyn M.June 16, 2012...the chips and guacamole...absolutely AMAZING!!!! My other fav is the Carne Asada...simply divine!!!!
Hotel MaxMay 26, 2011Delicious Mexican food! Open 11:30a - 1a! Happy hour from 3p - 5p. Try the $5 veggie tamale. It's pretty freakin' delicious!
the water tastes like it was imported from Las Vegas. Beef tacos are worth the visit.
Rachael BrooksDecember 10, 2011They lure you in with there amazing salsa verde and then serve you super bland fish tacos. Just come for drinks and salsa.
Franz FalkowskiApril 21, 2011The food was decent, I wasnt super amazed. But my server was amazing and the churros are to die for!
Josh WilliamsAugust 31, 2014Grasshoppers! Good for a challenge, not particularly good in practice. Didn't like the seasoning.
Daisha NJanuary 14, 2013Jalapeño and pineapple margarita and regular margarita was bomb, but I got drunk.
Anthony MarcaccoApril 21, 2011The gaucamole is a bit pricey but super delicious. The salsa is damn good too!
Clarita HinojosaMay 19, 2011Olive oil in the ceviche? Nokay. But the alabanza cocktail was delicious!
