The Margs seem a little different than in the past! Wtf. I think corporate mgmt. has done the original recipe a disservice. I have been coming here since day one, so I can tell.

Jeff Rubenstein

Believe it or not, the kids menu is awesome. I don't mean the food on the menu but instead the coloring on the back. It's awesome!

Best margaritas in Colorado. They get the job DONE.

Lucas

The margaritas are great, but may cause you to actually wake up in Mexico. Careful, folks.

Matt Jaspers

Margs are premixed. If you order it 'up', you will end up with more actual marg . Be warned... Not diluted by ice and warm has the potential to ruin your night.
