The food was soo good. The only con is too much jalapeño peppers. If it wasn't for that, they'd get a perfect score.

Good taco meat. Clean restaurant. Service was good and felt really taken care of. First basket of chips and salsa was free but anymore after that is a charge which is weird.

Good for family, date nights, or grabbing a quick bite and margarita at the bar. We really like this place! The chips and salsa are always fresh, the fajitas sizzle, and the pinto beans are so delicious along with everything else.

Delicious food, at a reasonable price, all provided with friendly service in a cozy atmosphere, nothing more you could ask for. My wife and I stopped her for lunch at the recommendation of a friend in the area. Pleasantly surprised to receive complementary chips and salsa (a low-cost choice that ALWAYS wins me over) which we enjoyed while perusing the [large] menu. Ultimately I got chicken tacos and my wife got the shrimp special (don't remember what it was called) and we were both very happy with our orders. Looking forward to coming back soon.

Awesome small lowkey food spot. Really nice bar and very attentive staff. The drinks were really good and the food was excellent. The prices are not bad at all especially for the good serving sizes they provide. I recommend if you want a nice small authentic mexican spot for happy hour or for a nice dinner.

Stopped by to meet a friend here after leaving UMBC. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they had all day happy hour on Wednesdays. I ordered a grande margarita, flautas, and a half quesadilla. Everything was delicious. The service was prompt and attentive. I would definitely return again when I'm in the area.

Great margaritas. Authentic Mexican food. I recently went JUST for a frozen mango margarita. Heads up - the fresh mango is an additional line item charge. That said, it is FRESH MANGO! We both ordered chimichangas. They were ok. The yellow rice and refried beans were outstanding! Monday is margarita night and of course, Tuesday is Taco Night! It's a step up from a neighborhood bar. I wish it was in walking distance! Forgive me for not posting pictures. I forgot
