Cody is an amazing bartender and I love starting my night off with him but have not been able to lately due to the horrible smell.

The bartender was really cool, dollar bills all around so something to let the eyes meander around. Chips were almost stale, salsa was good, but the queso seemed pretty close to Tostitos. ? Not a bad thing.It's more of a late night spot for the college crowd than a true Mexican restaurant. The drinks were creative and good but any great margarita needs a nice flavorful rim, that was missing here.

9/30/23 - Visiting from VA, we walked around and found this place. The dollar bills reminded me of Key west vibes. The bartender was super nice and great service. My fiancé got a margarita drink that was delicious. I tried the lobster roll and it was pretty good. Good amount of lobster and loved the bread that came with it. If I come back to visit I would definitely loved to stop by this place again and try some other food plus drinks.

This is among one of the many gems within this back alley bar/restaurant street known as Wharf Street in Portland, Maine. Decided to come here for a quick bite to eat - tacos and a drink. This cozy bar is lined with money decor and great ambient music. This place was a vibe! The tacos were fire! I had a passionfruit margarita and it was perfect! I would do it again. I can say that this bar is a clean environment also, as they happen to be cleaning the floors and back bar area halfway into our visit there. The bartender was personable and friendly. This place hit the spot after a full day of on foot exploring.

The outdoor tables here were a perfect find for our family. Great drinks and solid food reasonably priced for the neighborhood. They were also able to make adjustments to the food for one of our kids who can be a bit picky. I really only came here though to highlight the shrimp ceviche tostados. Incredible dish and an amazing deal. One of the best bites of our vacation!

Came here for some late night eats. It did not disappoint! The margaritas were some of the best we have had and we got the house and spicy mango margarita. The chicken is so flavorful and good in the burrito or tacos. We also tried the shrimp cerviche *chef’s kiss*. My boyfriend was completely full but is getting seconds!

Poncho Villa margarita was a little too strong with the lime juice.
A hidden gem located in an unsuspecting alleyway! While the place is slightly difficult to find, we finally found it in the pouring rain and were wowed by the food. One of the most amazing burritos I've ever had, with excellent rice and a salsa roja that is to die for. Prices were not ridiculously inflated and actually matched the value of the food, and the service was excellent- bartender was so helpful and nice, and we received our food very quickly. Spicy margarita suggested by the bartender was amazing- so unique and truly a treat. The place was covered in signed dollar bills which added to the old, rustic feel of the place, along with some of the best 80's music. The space felt warm and cozy. Would definitely go out of my way to come back!

Between lunch or drinks or even weekends out this place never disappoints! I come here at LEAST 2 times a week for the food. The Torta will Torta-lly blow your mind ! Im not kidding, If you really want a limp when you leave get a side of queso to dip it in and thank me later. The Espresso martini is made with tequila so don't say you weren't warned. Bring a dollar bill to put on the wall for your next big insta post! FIVE STARS i'm telling you !

I've only been here for drinks but I love this place! The staff is super friendly and accomodating. They will create a drink for you if you ask as well! Their margaritas are amazing and they have plenty of choices. I really enjoy the vibe and often end my nights going there. I will give a try to the food next time!
