So amazing! I ordered The Whole Enchilada , A Baja Fish Taco and a hard carnitas taco . It was DELICIOUS! Don't forget the beer to wash down the tequila shots either! 👏👏👏👏👏 5 claps girl!!!

Bernard Watkins

My buddy and I like going there for drinks and appetizers . The drinks are a great pour, and the appetizers are delicious and plentiful. The wait staff are fun and attentive, and prices are reasonable.

Brenda

Fun place, great service, food and drinks! To top it off our server gave us complimentary patron shots!

Mila Kovaleva

This is my favorite sunday brunch in town ! A buffet and bottomless mimosas for only 20 bucks! You can't beat that...Great atmosphere and service as well , top notch!

Amanda Foley

A gayborhood mexican restaurant with delicious nachos and rad frozen margaritas . What more could you want?

Gaytravel Hot Spot! Betty's is a staple in Hillcrest, you have to check it out! Virgins beware because they do pick on the first timers, all in fun of course! Order a banana margarita ... Yum!

Peter Chin

House margarita was weak. So was the Sangria . For was typical tex-mex (e.g. Azteca). Only dish that was different and tasty was Baja fries . Staff was friendly , but slow/preoccupied with the regulars.

Miro Doporto

Mediocre Food, great drinks, Amazing Staff , margaritas are my favorite, they have great day specials and Happy Hour specials , always busy here on weekends, Fun for Birthdays.

Joshua Livecchi

Great place for happy hour , strong margaritas or bottomless mimosas !

Barry Froisland

This place is really great, add a few friends, it's perfect. Sunset on the roof was the icing!

Kim Wilke

I highly recommend the sat and sun all you can eat/drink brunch ! :) delicious mimosas and amazing selection of food! :)

Veronica A

Good bartenders , one recommended a shot of chambord in my corona bottle, pretty yummy twist!

Roger Ma

Great Taco Tuesday deals though the quality of the food can be improved...

Ed McNichols

Sit at the bar by the front door when Tiger's working. You'll be friends before you leave and he's wonderful to watch. This man loves his job!

GayTravel.com

Might we suggest the banana margarita and carne asada quesadilla at this Hillcrest hot spot. Beware Betty's virgins because the staff will pick on you, it's all in fun though!

Edward Camarillo

You can't go wrong. If you know the bartenders name you're bound to get the best value around!

Abe Torrico

This place never disappoints... Their potato flautas are DELICIOUS and our bartender Ryan is the best! (And quite a looker)

Joelle Reeder

Guava-strawberry frozen margaritas are delish. Get the *small* nachos , trust.

Bort R

The carnitas tacos during brunch are amazing... just get five whole plates of those...

Nik Nadolski

More food and drink than you bargained for... But you're sure to have a good time.

Morgan

Best brunch buffet , Mimosas and atmosphere

Paul Smith

Half price menu items on Monday and 2for1 margaritas on Wednesdays!

Franz Sino

The happy hour is quite generous. Good half off appetizers and certain stuff and they are actually great(unlike mo's and gossip grill)! From 2pm to 6 pm! Don't feel guilty like I usually do..

Movie Lover

Get the drinks with the adorable little duckies! Also, amazing specials all week :-)

CamelBack DownFeather

HUGE half order of nachos !!! Love this place!

Mar Vallarta

If you wanna relief yourself... Just stop by and have a margarita !!!

Tim Watts

For vegetarians (non-vegan), I recommend the veggie quesadillas and the black bean quesadillas .

Katie W

if you knock of work early, make the most of the happy hour . Plus nachos for 2 - more than enough for 4 of you

Paul Smith

Great margaritas and I love their queso dip

Christina N

The carnitas plate was good and enough for two not overly hungry people.

Chellina :]

I've never had anything here that wasn't good! I love coming here. So much fun! Great happy hour prices too! :]

Jamie Hall

If you want an amazing experience ask for Alison! She is the reason I will be coming back!

Hillary Folsom

Extremely friendly bartenders and they pour pretty heavy

Angela Jones

Zinaida Chavez

The fugly betty is all I need in life! So good!

Ken Anthony

Great Place, Great Drinks, Sit on Patio and Boywatch

Loren Hnk

Positives: Tortillas made fresh, tortilla chips served fresh and warm. That's about it. Margaritas are not smooth by any stretch of the imagination, not mixed well .

Isidro Medina

I'm from San Antonio, Tx home of Mexican cuisine ... and i must say the enchiladas verdes with chicken adobado rocked my socks!

Andrew Cerda

Order the queso dip . You want it extra hot so it lasts (just like your men).

Jimmy

The cheese dip is AMAZING and so are the Mole enchiladas .

Erik Wiman

All is good here. :-)

Carlos Barajas
