My uncles took me here and I had a blast, the staff are friendly and quick, and for what you pay the portions are pretty good. Not to mention they have some damn good frozen margaritas.

My favorite restaurant, the food is amazing, the burrito is enough for two meals, and the chips are the best in town, the margs are strong and flavorful. The staff is very friendly and usually service is very quick. Love coming here.

“My friend and I went right after the Pride parade.”
My friend and I went right after the Pride parade. It was busy but we were seated quickly. We chose to sit outside. It was very clean on the patio and the trees offered some nice shade. The bathrooms were very clean as well. I ordered a traditional margarita and wow. Had I drank another, you'd probably have to carry me out. It was strong in content but the taste was very well balanced. I honestly liked the chips, salsa and guacamole more than our actual meal. I got a burrito with carnitas and it was pretty standard. There wasn't a whole lot of flavor. However, the refried beans had a smokey flavor to them and I loved it. Our waitress was amazing and very friendly as well as the bus boys who came by to refill our waters and take away dishes. I'm glad I finally got around to checking this place out. I'd definitely be back for drinks and apps to enjoy out on the patio.

“Found this pace by accident, and it didn't disappoint.”
Found this pace by accident, and it didn't disappoint. We ordered the 16oz Don Julio Margarittas and should have ordered 32oz. They were perfect. The chips were just the right amount of saltiness. Both salsa has spice to them, so beware. We had the Mahi Mahi tacos. They were a little overdone but still flavorful and tasty. The beans and rice were a perfect portion that didn't take up half the plate. Perfect lunchtime location.

“Good appetizers, outdoor sitting, and the jumbo margaritas are delicious.”
Good appetizers, outdoor sitting, and the jumbo margaritas are delicious! A little overpriced for what you get, but it’s worth it to splurge on a date night.

“Came here on mother's day and a few times before.”
Came here on mother's day and a few times before. My husband and I are so obsessed with the Cuban Quesadilla. I've also had the mahhi mahi tacos and love them. I got a huge delicious margarita, though it was a little light on the alcohol. Great overall experience though, especially when you sit on the patio on a beautiful day.
