Stacie M.Stacie Marie: Black bean queso is the best! All the happy hour food is very good! Goat cheese stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon and a strawberry salad are great choices.

Ell B.Ell Bradshaw: Not that it's a surprise, but the calamari is a hard pass. Tough and tastes of nothing but vague fishiness. Get the Black Bean Queso or Street Tacos instead, both are delicious.

Eric S.Eric Schrader: Booths high and romantic. Wait if time. Also bar seats by fireplace. Pepper tortilla chips & ask for habanero sauce to mix w/salsa to dip. Amazing flavors! Go-tos: sprouts, wings and spicy enchiladas

Spencer M.Spencer Moe: Ask for a queso burrito. Doesn't cost extra and it makes it extra tasty.

Celso O.Celso Orange Tree: Whole30 meal idea: Salad - lettuce, carnitas, guacamole, and tomato salsa only. Add green tomatillo salsa for an extra kick.

Mitchell M.Mitchell Milliron: Avoid the guacamole upgrade if the short gal with two-toned hair is serving. They don't call her "Light-hand McGee" because she's Irish.
