Better food than Cabo. Chips & salsa are great, has more consistency & thickness than Cabo's. Street tacos . Steak quesadilla . Tropical decor is cool, takes you away from the street nearby. Gets packed

Edlin Choi

Cool outdoor seating w a fire and heat lamps for when it's chilly. Was craving BBQ and it happened to be BBQ night here. Ribs hit the spot. Self serve nachos & salsa r great. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

I love the atmosphere of the place and the food was amazing and the cocktails were strong. I had the rosemary chicken enchiladas with a watermelon margarita

Sherrie Rohde

Love sitting outdoors here! Frozen coconut margaritas are delish and the tropical mango enchiladas are my fave. Chips and salsa are great, too!

Terry Adams

Good set up for reopening during covid. They filled the parking lot with sand and have a beach with umbrellas and tables. Great margaritas . They take temperatures and they turn away people maskless

I'm from Carmel , and they have another location up there. I always come here when I'm homesick. A monterey quesadilla and a margarita can cure any ailment.

Matt Rosenberg

There isn't a bad seat in the place. Very open and lots of light. Perfect spot to enjoy a margarita on a beautiful day at the beach .

Eddie Williams

One of my favorites places to go for the past 15 years. It's my home bar ! The staff , drinks & food are impeccable!

Kyle Wilson

Liked the steak fajitas - veggies were cooked just right (little bit of crunch)

Dress for the Date

The Cesar Salad is always remarkably fresh, and the kitchen does an impeccable job prepping the Romaine Lettuce.

Jeff Pierce

Classic MDR Mexican restaurant . Great food, bar , outdoor patio . Perfect for sports fans .

Steven Cohen

Excellent service and food. Coming from the east coast it was a totally different taste of Mexican cuisine . Good choice if in the area.

Matt Rosenberg

Be careful. An hour lunch has been known to turn into a 5 hour "happy hour " for me and my friends. Good margaritas and HUGE tacquitos. Enjoy!

Ekin Pehlivan

Surf's up tostada , sunrise taquitos , golden nachos , wet burritos

Great strawberry margarita ! And the size is right for me!

The Baja Margarita is so delicious you don't realize how many you've had until you're stumbling out the door.

Milos Djukelic

Our favorite mexican place . Coming here for 4 years and it keeps good. Nachos and salsa are epic

Andy Wood

The first rule of cocktail club - you don't talk about cocktail club. (P.s. frozen raspberry margaritas are the best!!

Neena Kamath

Awesome outdoor patio ! The 'Skinny' margaritas are very alcohol-first; I'd recommend the Cadillac. Food is so-so.

Greg Schultz

Donny the bartender is one of the best there is. Great pours and really funny/engaging

Sammy Dee

Easy place to sit, beers , guac and outdoors!

Does this look like a black wine glass? Noooo! It's a cabernet filled to the rim. Courtesy of Bartender Josh

Happy Hour Skinny Margaritas and Happy Hour Taqitos for the win!

Nicole Goddard

YES! Happy hour here is awesome. Great vibe. Had great service, surprisingly (for venice anyway). Try the fish tacos !

Jason H.

COVID Times Review - too crowded and rowdy. Big outdoor patio but poor social distancing. Felt unsafe. Even had a staff member doing work right by my table throughout the eve. Won’t go back. Food ok.

Brandon Blum

chicken queso 's we're average at best. "hornitos" margarita wasn't anything special but it gets the job done. good atmosphere and service was good as well . check it out for yourself ...

Jessica Placencia

Get a margarita on the rocks with fresh lime juice

Bethalyn Staples

They did not sign up for the Foursquare Special, but are nice about about giving it with a house rum .

Sunny Bak

Mango margarita is the best.

Paige Robertson

Theee best free chips and salsa . Happy hour has sweet deals too! Go for the margaritas .

Evan Ghigliotty

Get the Blackened chicken with prawns burrito and thank me later.

Joann Jaimes

The BBQ ribs here are phenomenal!! I was surprised

Doralys Britto

The mauro's taco combination plate is AMAZING.

Reni R

Great authentic mexican food , delicious cocktails !

Cassmosphere

Watch out for auto-gratuity on checks! Two of us. She tacked on an 18% gratuity charge without saying anything. Sssshady....

Tim In The House

Good service and food

Kate Hughes

Brett (i think?) makes them yummy and strong!

The Taste Sheriff

Kind of trashy crowd but cool vibes. Below average food but I wasn’t expecting top notch in this area anyway.

Michael Gara

they also claim that this foursquare account isnt theirs, so you should stop checking in and giving them business

D.J. Perez

bomb Happy Hour deals from 3:30pm-6:30pm

Michael Gara

brought manager over and he wouldnt honor the special. somewhat absurd when its just a $5 rum and coke ....great deal....NOT!
