We have been coming here for 27 yrs. Great atmosphere, great Agave Martinis with "Annie UP", and my favorite Queso del Mar!Marlie!!

Delicious tacos and quick service. I came in after a hike hoping for a patio seat. Unfortunately the patio is under construction which meant I was shabbily dressed for a rather nice date sort of restaurant. The happy hour drinks and food options were reasonably priced (I wouldn’t say you’re scoring a deal though either). $8 for a classic marg which was light and refreshing (only slightly too sweet but I can forgive them that as I don’t like much sweetness it my marg). Tacos were $3.50 each and I got the cilantro-lime grilled chicken, beer-braised carnitas, and the chicken and sausage. All were equally good and I would recommend. I also got my tacos in about 5 minutes from ordering (keep in mind I dined alone at 5:00pm). Is the place Americanized and clearly designed to the millennial Instagram aesthetic? Sure, but it was also good food, a nice ambiance, and great service. I definitely recommend.

Had a delicious dinner with my daughter and some friends last night. The menu is large with so many different options! Even the kids menu is diverse and appropriate for picky eaters (they even have chicken tenders in addition to Mexican options). I had a steak burrito but my favorite part actually might have been the rice! It was the perfect side dish. Will have to come back to sample more food and try their drinks!

They have their famous margs to go, but require a nominal food purchase to keep it legal.

It will be open to the public next Tuesday, December 24?
