Awesome awesome awesome! Trendy , outdoor seating , great bar drinks. Brunch on the weekends is awesome! Only open for lunch on Fri, sat, sun. Ranchero sauce and guac are the best!

Erica Uli

Make sure you get dessert ! And make sure it's the churros :D the cayenne chocolate could be more cayenne-y for my personal taste, but! They're super tasty regardless!

Moe Williams

Margs are delicious- don't plan on driving! Especially on 2 for 1 Wednesday's!

Bruce Buchert

The Molida Beef Burrito (naked) is one of my favorite bites of food in the city !

Logan Mumphrey

I always get the grilled fish tacos ! They're the best I've had. Also, don't pass up on a red sangria margarita !

Ask for Diego's Grilled Fish -- best in town !

Geoffrey Gauchet

Get the Deep South taco ! Lightly battered crispy fried chicken with bacon . Amazing!

Lee Berry

Average. The house salsa was decent. My burrito felt like it was missing something... maybe guacamole . Most places include guac but my mistake for not fully reading the description. Not bad.

Carol Butler

The baja quesadillas and margaritas are delightful.

Ashley Van K

Sunday brunch is amazing.

Renee Ferrera

Best salsa in town . Love it.

Evelyn Cathey

Gluten free menu and the wait staff is most helpful.

Julia Anne Harris

Vegetarians beware! Only vegetarian entree is the portobello mushroom taco . The rice is not vegetarian nor are any of the beans.

Devan Swiler

I could eat the chips and salsa for days.

Avoid on busy weekend nights. Too crowded and the acoustics inside are terrible. But the salsa is awesome and the burritos are good!
