It was quiet for a Friday night in a college town. The food was okay. Their menu was pretty sparse. The service was great. I even got a free tequila shot because I was celebrating my birthday. We had the pineapple margarita pitcher they were tasty but not very strong.

Great “actually fresh, “ margaritas. The “el president” is wonderful. Chips and cheese are great too.86 dollars for 4 margs-chix quesadilla-chips and queso con chorizo.
