Our 20th visit over the years…read more The atmosphere makes you feel right at home. It feels just like sitting at your grandma's kitchen table. To make it even better, our server was incredible. The food here is spectacular. The carne asada plate is packed with deep, savory flavor. The chili relleno and bean burrito are comforting perfection. The gratis 3 alarm salsa chips pack a powerful kick. The drink menu steals the show. The Calaca Negra beer is thirst quenching nectar. You must order the Margarita Catrina--it is completely insane! Do not miss this local gem when you are in town.

BLUF: very good food at reasonable price. Friendly servers…read more Went with a large group on a Wed night. I think we ordered literally everything on the menu, and to a person we liked what we received. One of the few places that makes a really good Horchata drink, so if you like those order one. It wasn't that lively in there, but it was a Wed so not a big night out for most people. Their steak meals were a clear standout - everyone liked everything, but those got raves. Also, bacon-wrapped shrimp were great - good sized and grilled so they still had a snap to them. The downsides: it took a long time for food to come out, although some of that probably can be attributed to us being a big group. That said, several waited for, and eventually had to ask for, the tortillas that went with their meals. Our servers spoke little english, so sometimes communications were difficult, but ALWAYS friendly. I would definitely go back.

We walked in and were greeted by the bar cat called Batman - super cute cat but was a little icked out that he was walking all over the bar and his water bowl was on the counter. The bartender was super friendly and we sat chatting with him while we waited for our drinks - two Sterling sours (think whiskey sour with gin - YUM), an In the Woods, and Fennel Countdown. The Fennel Countdown was AWESOME - super unique and creamy. I love the aesthetic of the place with its mismatched chairs and eclectic art. Overall really great vibes and experience.
