Go to this Gaslamp Quarter bar during happy hour (3 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily) for half-price drinks and appetizers (including carne asada fries ).

Lydia Berkennou

This Mexican restaurant is simply amazing. The food is nice, eat and drink at the bar to make most of it. Craft beers are refreshing while the tacos tickles your tongue

Dana

Yes! finally a mouth watering meal.. Serf N' Turf tacos come with a small portion of beans & rice pretty damn good. $10.00 plate.. #shrimp #avocado #tacos

A cool spot in the otherwise-touristy Gaslamp Quarter. Recharge with a margarita (lots to choose from) and a Cali burrito . Mix & match tacos lets you sample several types if you're indecisive like me.

Kelly Weaver

I suspect everything is good by the looks of what was coming. out of the kitchen, but the carne asada burrito was great. Opted for the half & half sauce, both were good but the green sauce was my fav

ian hall

Hearty twists on all of your Latin American faves...tacos , burritos , enchiladas , tortas , etc. The mole enchiladas rule, and the California burrito is like rolled up lomo saltado . Bring an appetite!

Elisa

Didnt have to wait too long for a table of 4. Fun vibes. Get the Whole Lotta Love Margherita . Tacos and burritos are great.

Tolga

We ate California burritos and it is very tasty! Love it!! Definitely try to come again here ... service was good and fast. You Should take jalapeno pickles as Side. 8,4/10

Dan Fetzner

Spicy marg was legit and the fried cheese was on point. Was there to grab food around midnight on a Thursday and it was more of a bar scene, the music was definitely too loud but still enjoyed overall

Shawn

Go for taco Tuesday . The Tecate beer is cheap , but the margaritas are worth the extra cost. The street tacos are amazing and the hot dog they make is great, especially for $2.

MiKe McDonough

One of the 10 best taco spots in the US... No joke, best taco joint ever. Only complaint, the music 's a bit loud .

Greg Baker

It was awesome. I had the surf & turf burrito , frozen house margarita and was easily convinced by our dime of a waitress to try the frozen mojito . Everything was great! I'd go again for sure!

Brian Mercado

I enjoy coming here for brunch or a late night with friends. Food is always fresh and delicious. Great selection on drinks and tequila . Gets crowded on weekends.

Andrea Westaway

Come during happy hour (3-7) to get some great deals on some of the best Mexican you'll eat outside of Mexico! The Guacamole is amazing, and they have a HUGE tequila menu.

Matthew Taub

Carne asada and carnitas are the way to go. Also don't miss the chips and guacamole . Happy hour from 3-7 is half off ALL drinks and apps.

Neil Isakson

Try the California burrito with rice on the side and red and white sauce in top! You can’t beat the salsa and chips beforehand!

Shawn

Amazing taco Tuesday ! Try the hot dog as well - it was awesome. Any of the tacos were great - $2. $2 Tecate was OK - but spend the money for the margaritas instead!

Tom

Best happy hour in the Gaslamp. We come here 2-3 times a week. Nicole and Devin (a.k.a Devil) are the best servers. You definitely get your money's worth here!!

Nik Andresen

Cool place with some solid tequila drinks. Had their popular margarita on the rocks and purple haze (frozen marg + sangria mix) - both killer. Reeeeally nice bar .

Alevtina Borisova

The food’s pretty good. Tried Carnitas California and several types of tacos . Everything was great!

Katarina Katsma

The tacos are very good. And happy hour 1/2 off everything is a total steal! Don't forget to check out the "Bark at the Moon" if you like spicy .

George Oetomo

Whatever i ordered turned out soo good, guacamole , taco , margarita etc. Awesome choices of tequilas n beers .

Paddy

Favorite place in Gaslamp. Excellent happy hour deals , decent beer choices and carne asada quesadilla is delicious.

Megan Paskas

Quesadilla is huge and amazing!!! Everything we tried here was great! Cone during happy hour and get half price drinks! ANYthing from the bar !

Max Wenneker

Burritos and drinks are great. Recommend getting there early for dinner , at 6 on a Saturday it was a 45 minute wait already.

Brittany

The queso fundido is so good! Add chorizo if you're a fan- some of the best I've ever had. Great jams , too!

Γρηγόρης Κοντός

Buritos were the sheeeeettt!!! Frozen mojitos & margaritas awesome, esp @ happy hour !!! Be prepared for long queues if there is a convention in town

Tom Sedlacek

Holy krap! Best margarita ever and the street tacos are the best... And that's saying something from me..!

Amara Omoregie

Carne Asada fries are a must! Especially during Happy Hour ! They are 50% off, and so are their amazing margaritas ! It took three of us girls to finish it! Soooo good :)

Emre Güner

We came here with the high recommendations, Drinks are very good, I like the strawberry Margarita , but food especially tacos was overall disappointing.

Jake Smith

Happy hour is one of the best

Merve E. H.

We had to wait to sit and order because we did not have a reservation . Food is delicious.

Amy MacDonald

Veg burrito with chipotle sauce is fantastic. Great margaritas . Took a while to get a table but worth the wait.

Best tacos and Tj dawgs in town . Best service ever. Never any complains. They know how to do taco Tuesday the right way.

This place is great for happy hour ! Bomb drink and food specials too. My favorite is the Cadillac margarita and the carne asada fries .

Tiffany La Forge

Happy Hours and Late Night Happy Hours . Amazing drinks. Try the Purple Haze (Half Sangria , Half Margarita , Fully Delicious) and be sure to order the Guacamole and Chips , enough to feed a small army.

Ben Morrow

Best place for margaritas and tacos . Often running specials. Usually busy because people know what's up.

Margaritas are quite good and it has a nice atmosphere and decent bar . The tacos were good, but didn't blow me away.

Ivan S Harris
