“ They have the best fresh lime squeezed margaritas. I used to think I didn’t like margs until I had their margarita. I love their guacamole as well. Not the cheapest Mexican place, but for me it’s worth every penny! ”
“ Great selection of Mexican and some other Hispanic dishes (Ropa Vieja, a Cuban dish is on the menu). Service is fast and friendly. The actual dishes we ate were perfect, they do a great enchilada. They don't skimp on tequila with the Margaritas. ”
“ Came here for the Pride Parade and grabbed a spot on the patio—such a great way to kick off the day! The service was friendly and attentive, the food was excellent, and the margaritas were even better. I tried both the strawberry and mango margaritas, and they were easily my favorites. The chicken quesadillas came out perfectly crispy and were absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere, great drinks, and great food. I'd definitely come back! ”
“ This restaurant is in a great location in boystown and the food, staff and owner are great. We came here on our first date and every chance we get we return and have never been let down. This time we went on Halloween night and it was fun to see everyone dressed in cute costumes. A must visit location. ”
