This is my absolute favorite bottomless brunch place. It's only til 2pm on football Sunday's and holiday weekends though fyi

All-you-can-eat-tacos all day Tuesday, but requires a drink purchase ($11/person total w/ tax and tip). Service is slow - order your next taco round when the current one arrives.

By the time you leave this place you will consider walking down to the pier, looking at the ocean, and throwing yourself into it.

Muchos nachos (7.5 USD) and super big mellow or strawberry margaritas(17,5 USD) awesome couple!

All you can eat tacos for $5. OMG! I had 2! Lol. The beef is better than the chicken.

I’be been a bartender and server for several years. I will only come here if a friend is having a going away party because the service here is among the worst you’ll ever experience. Save yourself.

Nice margaritas! But a little noisy during game times.
Arnie PanameñoJune 2, 2016
This place is always lively on the weekends even in the morning.

Typical touristy spot on the promenade for average Mexican and cheap drinks. 2 for 1 happy hour is a positive though.
Joshua BarnesSeptember 13, 2011
Breanna is one AMAZING server!! :) super fun and made our experience here awesome!!

If you are in need of a few drinks, I would suggest you to avoid this place in the hope that there are better places in the area (unless you like to spend your money on poor quality Bloody Caesars...)

Margaritas 👍 | Food 👎

Terrible service. They told us it was self-serve water, but we then watched our waitress bring water to every other table.

Taco Tuesday combo'ed with Happy Hour FTW
Rahman Aye!!June 19, 2011
Great chicken Fajitas and the margaritas.... On point lol
Maurice SallaveMay 27, 2011
Good place to hang up your 9 to 5 and leave it all behind.
David ThorneOctober 12, 2011
Margaritas are great. Fajitas are tasty but salty
MetaMixFebruary 28, 2011
Happy hour with double shot margaritas. Hot salsa with guacamole bowl.
Jesse  WilsonJune 11, 2012
Host keeps sending patrons in but there r no seats available. What r we gonna fight over a table when someone gets up? Plus there's no server for this section? Never had such poor service
Wade ReeseAugust 18, 2013
This place sucks... they switch up your drink orders in order to charge you more. If you order a margarita, they bring you a "mega" and say, "that is what everyone orders. Then they charge $16.95!
Bianca ChanOctober 10, 2012
Um, hello! Unlimited bloody marys and mimosas? Yep.
MelanieSeptember 8, 2010
