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!
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!
Margs are delicious- don't plan on driving! Especially on 2 for 1 Wednesday's!
The Molida Beef Burrito (naked) is one of my favorite bites of food in the city !
I always get the grilled fish tacos ! They're the best I've had. Also, don't pass up on a red sangria margarita !
Love velvet cactus. Very reasonable and good food. Great margaritas . New place. Working out some kinks but generally very impressed.
Love the chipotle cheese grits and grilled shrimp tacos ! Great margaritas too!
2 for 1 Margs on Wednesdays. They have heaters on the patio .. Brittany is an excellent waitress !
Patio Rockin' Margaritas , although frozen, are yum! Recommend the Pineapple Cilantro on the rocks!
Great place, great food, best salsa I've ever dipped a chip in and superb customer service!
Great place for friends to grab a bite and a drink.
Love the always-changing decor!
Strawberry jalapeño margarita !! When it's in season.
Love it! Get the queso and a margarita ! Great service!
Tacos are ON POINT!!! And Margaritas are excellent!
Great food, great service and the steak fajitas were awesome!
Get the chiplote grits . Best side on the menu.
Everything is delicious ????
Ask for Diego's Grilled Fish -- best in town !
Get the Deep South taco ! Lightly battered crispy fried chicken with bacon . Amazing!
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.
The baja quesadillas and margaritas are delightful.
Sunday brunch is amazing.
Best salsa in town . Love it.
Gluten free menu and the wait staff is most helpful.
Vegetarians beware! Only vegetarian entree is the portobello mushroom taco . The rice is not vegetarian nor are any of the beans.
I could eat the chips and salsa for days.
Cheese sauce for shrimp enchiladas = delicious! Watermelon mint margarita mmm
2 for 1 margaritas are AMAZING
Ahhmazing!!! Food, drinks, service, quality!!! Already planning my 24th bday there!!!

Good place to have happy hour . Only eaten here once, and had bad service. Our server forgot we were there, food order came out wrong...never send food back, but we had to.
Great salsa and chips ! They serve the salsa warm
The Painkiller is a wonderful drink!!
Avoid on busy weekend nights. Too crowded and the acoustics inside are terrible. But the salsa is awesome and the burritos are good!
Those cheese grits though!
Service a little too efficient. I felt rushed out the door.
Perfect Patron Margarita !
Try the Molida beef burrito...delicious!
There is a lot o goo foo and drinks here :-)
Love the Velvet Heat Margarita !
Happy hour-large marg for the price of one!

I cna't say I've ever had a bad flavor. When they have it, get the salted caramel. Also the chocolate, chicory, and caramel is good too. - Geoffrey Gauchet
