Daniel S.Daniel Sprehe: Had tamale's, chicken taco, and horchata. Food was unique, not your typical Tex-mex, but it also wasn't great, just ok. The worst part was the lack of margaritas. No margaritas is a huge letdown.

Raul G.Raul Gutierrez Herrera: Excelente! The fire caused major damage but remodel updated kitchen. Great food for little $. One thing I don't understand is why the gringos all get water brought to them but Latinos not, weird.
