Awesome spot. Margaritas - pineapple jalapeño is delicious! Salsa lessons 9:45-10:45 and dancing til 2am Tuesday. Great for dinner , drinks, and dancing !
I love this place! Some of the coolest art work I have seen in a bar in a long time. The mango margaritas are great... Looking forward to going back to try the food this weekend.
Try the steak fajitas !! It's not much food but it was excellent!! Nice chill place to come and eat and/or drink.
You should try Arrachera dish, sirloin steak with avocado tomato salad , grilled cactus , panela chesse & spring onion with rice . Perfect, delicious.
Cactus Burger is great. Had a few tecnico margaritas as well . I enjoy the classic luchadores adorning the walls. Wouldn't mind seeing more modern combatants though.
Great area for brunch with swift and friendly service . Their guacamole is beyond fresh. :)
So live! The DJ is awesome!
Went for lunch great value for the portions. Had the gauc and chips , and it was okay. Had the fish tacos for lunch , they were cold and not much flavor, and found a huge hair in one.
Very cool small restaurant . Guacamole was exceptional, but try to be extra clear if you are ordering the happy hour special - they'll pretend they didn't understand and charge you for the full thing.
Ceviche , fish tacos , margs & plantains were all delicious!
Their pineapple jalapeño margaritas are everything. Very good fish salad !
Happy hour is half off all drafts which is nice. Beware through: If you don't order an HH special, wait staff doesn't try to help you save a buck.
Everything here is delicious. The quesadillas are amazing. And the decor? The National Mechanics people outdid themselves.
I love the concept , the service is good but i dont see mexican people!! XD
Amazing food and the service is outstanding! Strictly recommended!
Great atmosphere, beautiful decorations and the margaritas are delIcious
Great Cuban sandwich ! Nice happy hour deals too.
Pork belly soft shell tacos are a winner!
$5 Happy Hour is a good deal : guacamole and chip portion is huge
Food, drink, and atmosphere are great!
Duck with rice is great!!!!!!
Margaritas and sangria isn't very good but their chorizo sliders are bomb
Great food, atmosphere
If you don't try the Guacamole there is something seriously wrong with you.
Seems like these folks are just getting their restaurant legs. The staff was confused about almost everything. The food was fair and the presentation lacking. Hope it will get better.
I have had great Mexican food before but this place doesn't measure up in my opinion.
Best chicken quesadillas you will ever have.
You owe it to yourself to eat a chorizo burger .
The chicken quesadillas & nachos r delish!
It's like Old City 's version of El Rey (this is a good thing)
Everything is the bomb!
Nice decor, good food, friendly staff .
If you dare, ask about Yoga Flame.
Food is excellent, but doesn't make up for inattentive servers.
They forgot to put in our order, so food was very late. There were also bones in the chicken enchiladas .
