All time go-to place for cocktails and the fantastic vibe! Highly recommend the Mango Loco, Moscow Mule but almost all the cocktails are great. Try the Platanos Frittos you’ll not be disappointed. Have had Fajitas too in the past and they were good too.

I have such a nice time every time I come here for a drink and a bite, the shrimps tacos today were actually pretty good! This location is great, staff is very friendly, Angel served us today and was friendly and generous to me and my friends. The chips and salsa were pretty tasty and the menu items were fairly priced. I like to pop in when I am in the area and I am never disappointed.

Went for a late lunch/snack and drinks. The servers were really kind and treated us well. It was a scorcher of a day and the front part of the restaurant was very warm, but the bar part was much cooler. They had outdoor seating but today’s sun was not friendly. The chips and salsa were good as was the house margarita and sangria. I ordered a glass of sprite to make my sangria a bit sweeter but it was club soda and the machine was broken so there was that. The tacos we ordered were chorizo and carnitas and they were very tasty. We were going to order a quesadilla but they took a bit to come back to out table so we decided to leave instead. Fun music and ambiance and the service was really nice.

The service here is out of this world. Drinks was great and the staff was more than comfortable accepting all the different drinks ordered. Would definitely come back. Angel the bartender was the best.

Perfect neighborhood Mexican spot. New ownership has made significant improvements to the atmosphere and menu. Personal favorites are the steak but the chorizo is also very good. Margaritas are also very good and reasonable priced.
