The decor, the soundtrack, the food. All great. House margarita gets the job done.

Trevor Holmes

Chips and Guac are on point! Also, their tacos are the best I've had in Union Sq.

Martina Festi

Very friendly . They offered us a cake for mtg friend's birthday. Great Mariachi band was playing live music

Jackiez Gonzalez

SOPES. BEST. They also make some dangerous margaritas . I recommend the Cadillac with Herradura.

Juan Bustamante

Love the sopes .. they were great. Flavor wise the meat was excellent.

Brad Kelly

Try the Maranon juice (made from the Cashew fruit ). A little nutty, a little fruity , all refreshing.

Joshua Benton

Open on Thanksgiving, for those wandering around without family, looking for something that'll feed you.

Fritz Ceriales

If you're a hungry & carnivorous, get the Montaňero! (steak , pork , beans, egg , avocado , salsa , rice & platano )

Sooz

If you go for lunch , order limeade . It's not on the menu and the waitress who works in the evening won't know what you are asking for.

Lindsey Carroll

Ask for some queso with your chips and salsa . It's delicious!

Max

Fish tacos are spot on.

Ethan M

Tacos de abodabo. So, so good.

Can S

Jordan Gray

Get your burritos elsewhere. Overpriced everything. Gone down hill all around.
