Shrimp habenero and shrimp fajita are awesome. They serve equally good nachos . One of the best hangout places is Redmond, impossible to get a spot on Friday evenings and they do not take reservations .

Kaela Palmer

Manager and servers passionate and knowledgable of all items on the menu and what works for certain allergy restrictions. Can't go and NOT get the massive nachos and pomegranate margarita !

Christopher O

Start with the Black Bean Queso , some chips and a few drinks. I rarely make it past that, it's so good. Don't think of it as "filling up on chips ", think of it as a light appetizer dinner .

Michelle Hammer

Of all the dishes, we like the ancho chili wings the most. Also, very good tacos and enchiladas - haven't had a bad dish yet.

Came in for a late night to-go order, and the wait staff was super helpful! The restaurant was still pretty busy, but I was able to order, pay, and get my food pretty quickly - no problem!

Vicky Ane

Had their Matador burger and it was amazing! Also had a look at their happy hour menu and was pleased with the selection and price. Will definitely go back for that.

Kacey

I didn't realize there were so many types of tequila . We went on a Tuesday and they had a half-off top shelf special. Can't wait to go back and try more!

Heather Rodriguez

Go for happy hour and get the stuffed jalapeños , eat the chips and salsa and order the spicy margaritas . Perfect.

Nick G

The nachos during happy hour are the best deal.

Rachel Lightfoot

Incredible music , impeccable decor, fresh food . Skip the too-sweet cocktails and grab a beer from the tap. Great dejection.

Amit Banerjee

Place stays open till late in the night and the food is pretty good. Definitely a place to hang out if you are in Redmond.

Tonya R

Order the Tex-Mex Spring Rolls and the Chicken Enchiladas . Use the sauces and slaw from the rolls on the quesadillas . You're welcome!

Walker Hagius

Everything here is consistently good, food and service.

They don't have happy hour prices on drinks but HH food is generous and delicious. I especially like the nachos .

Mary Lou Ricci

TAKE ADVANTAGE of their happy hour . Highly recommend the Texas Size Nachos & Tex-Mex Spring Rolls with a House Margarita .

Gareth

The Hacienda Pie was the *best* thing on the menu, but unfortunately they've stopped selling it!

Emrecan B.

Drinking near the fireplace , delicious lunch ????

Arunjeet Singh

Try the enchiladas with the Habanero sauce . Be prepared for smoke coming out of your ears. Good food, nice drinks. Bit expensive though.

Mauro Iotti

The nachos are amazing and a huge plate.. at happy hours are only 4 bucks ;-)

Best happy hour dishes: Tex-mex spring rolls , shrimp quesadilla , and blackened fish tacos . The habenero enchiladas also rock.

The bartenders here are awesome...they will create a drink and they are awesome!!!

Texas-sized nachos . They really are huge, and only $5 at happy hour !

Chorizo quesadillas are quite tasty! I also recommend the chili and braised pork tacos - all $4 during happy hour .

They accept the Microsoft Prime card here; 2-for-1.

Ramiro Berrelleza

Best late night Happy Hour , Open everyday until 1AM

Mediocre and overpriced food and drinks. The only saving grace is the crowd. Go across the street to El Toreador for way better food and really awesome drinks.

Amanda Headley

This is not a restaurant , so leave the kids at home. 21 and over!

Rochelle Roberts

Chicken tortilla soup hits the spot!

Rick Guzman

Stuffed Jalapeño 's are awesome. Tequila selection is good. Food is good but definately not authenic. Atmosphere is nice!

Vishnu Nath

Tacos and Guac

Drake Bridgewater

Great margaritas

Scott Davis

$5 happy hour nachos are the bomb.

Silas Lindenstein

Nachos are great and so are their chicken wings . One of the better happy hour wings I've had.
