Go for Happy hour ! Nachos were fab, so is the cucumber-jalapeño margarita !!

I'd come here more often if they had an actual lunch menu with smaller portions and better prices. No one likes garlicky, half-eaten Tex-Mex taking up room in the fridge

Tana Babcock

I go here for their late night menu - tasty, cheap , good for sharing! The service can kinda be 'meh' by the end of the night.

The Seattle Times

Tex-Mex menu, including soups and salads , burgers and barbecue , tacos , fajitas , enchiladas , seafood , steak and chicken . Invigorating sauces meet fresh ingredients . Texas-style nachos are a must. Read more
