Staff was courteous and the food was delicious! My only qualm would be it’s a tad overpriced for the portions of the food. I had the brisket barbacoa bowl and it was smaller than I hoped. It was really good though!

Sat at the bar for happy hour and enjoyed margs and insanely good and giant queso with chips. Loved it!

These brisket fries I had were like a meal, so good, definitely would share as an appetizer next time with friends. Went for happy hour, loved the $8 frozen margarit, do the swirl! Bar tenders, think names were Shawn and Tyler, were great, if you ever go, ask Tyler something dumb, dude is hilarious! Great service, great time! Good place for a date or to hang with friends for sure!

Quiet mexican restaurant with great food

They were out of certain beverages on an early Friday evening, tacos are 5-6 bucks a piece but they completely crumble because they don’t double up on tortillas like you’re supposed to… also the toppings on the tacos are light they skimp out.. burrito as well very little meat. Overall you’re paying a premium for the vibe (bowls are small too, chips/guac $12…), they gave us warm water it wasn’t cooled and there was no ice.. plastic cups…service was decent but slow. Need paper towels in the bathrooms. Kitchen needs to be cleaner. No reservations online, but plenty of tables in person. Average experience, plenty of room for improvement.

I got super tasty horchata and a breakfast burrito (potato, egg, cheese, pico, rice, +2$ avocado) that was sooo big I could only eat half. The burrito came with delicious hollandaise that made the taste go from good to great. Wow. Loved it.

I recommend you go here if you you like eggs or brunch.

I love the staff here but new management has ruined this place for me. Their margarita happy hour was great but now it is a gimlet that is small, filled with ice, watered down, and cost more than their previous happy hour options. I order queso and was given a bowl that was 1/4 filled. I had more chips than queso, that was never a problem before. I confirmed that management has changed and it has clearly driven away great staff members and degraded the quality of the food. I was a regular for years but I can’t waste anymore of my money or time here. I’d give this place 1 star if it wasn’t for the amazing staff. New management is going to run this place into the ground. It is clear that they are cutting corners, lowering quality, and raising prices. Do better

For what it is, it’s a solid 4.5 but will round up. I only have a slight issue with their margaritas- they taste great but there’s so much ice in it making them pretty small for the price imo. More like HH size. Regarding the food, everything we’ve had has been good and the quesorito burrito is very solid. Great sauces as well and an overall good neighborhood spot

It's a fine place to eat, albeit pricey for what you get.

The staff and setting are wonderful, though.

Guys, after a long day in the city, grab this on your way home to the suburbs! Comforting, flavorful and all to compliment a great array of agave products. Shawn was great, conversational, kind, informative, what more do you want! Great little spot, don't pass by that blue building again without going in!

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan and veg options and suitable modifications
