Such a cozy place with tasty Tex Mex and the best service. I had the nacho's and tried the queso. I recommend giving this little gem a try.

I used to work here about 15 years ago. Since then, it appears to have lost some of what I liked about it. I ordered a chicken fajita salad and it came out with about 5 little pieces of chicken, cheese, Pico, and guacamole. There weren't any peppers or onions which I was looking forward to. Other than that, the building seems pretty shabby. A lot of the decor has changed or just been removed, but the tables lean, nails are exposed, and everything just looks like it's barely holding on. 10 out of 10 on staff, everyone was extremely friendly and attentive.
I guess I still miss it!

Good service. We'll spiced meat. You have to look for it. It's tucked away. Wasn't busy when I had supper on a Monday

Happy hour is the one of the best! Can't beat what you get for that price! Great place to hang out and enjoy delicious food and drinks!

Great vibe. Mexican meets art school. Chips are fresh, and salsa is addicting. The black beans and charro beans are the best we've ever had. Chulupas are a great choice if you are craving some crisp veggies. Mine was topped with lettuce shaved carrots and a beautifully balanced guacamole! The portion size was Texas Size, 2 to a plate. Great happy hour offerings, and when the weather is nice they have a large outdoor area in the front and back. Would have hive 5 stars but the flautuas were too dry the chicken was overcooked.

My server, Marissa, completely made my experience! She was friendly, fast, and attentive. Visiting from out of town, but I’ll definitely be coming back every time!

Great place for lunch! I really liked the fish tacos, though the menu is slightly confusing -- don't order the 'plate' option if you want rice + beans. Go for the full option. Other than that, it was clean, the service was excellent and everything was reasonably priced.

Stopped in for lunch. Been here several times and is one of my goto spots for Mexican food. The chips are great and I like the queso. I had a couple mimosas for brunch ($3 at brunch menu). The enchilada plate was good. Staff was friendly.
