Everything on the happy hour menu is worth ordering. The guac and Cadillac margarita especially. And happy hour on Saturday? Yes please.

Margaritas, get a spicy one. Happy hour before 7pm is great with tacos, ceviche and guacamole. There is usually plenty of parking, you can enter on central or 6th St.

Very friendly service and all the food was really tasty. Get the New Fashioned, which is their take on the Old Fashioned. Have it made with mezcal for a delicious smoky cocktail.

Try the Martini de Albaca — hendrick’s gin, basil, cucumber. The guac is fantastic. If they have the stuffed squash blossoms as a chef's special...get 'em!

Spendy for sure but the jamaica margarita was yummy as was the ceviche tropical. The guac wasnt very flavorful though
