Authentic Mexican on such a cute outdoor patio environment.
A new favorite! Very welcoming, fantastic atmosphere. Indoor artwork is spectacular, and the outdoor seating very nice. Margaritas were delicious, fun and colorful, but more importantly a good cocktail. Service was spot on and friendly! We had the El Rey burrito that may be the best burrito I've ever had. Portion was huge, so we split it, along with chips and salsa! Very good!!! This is definitely worth wandering a few blocks down from Main Straus for a unique location, excellent...read full review
