East LA has fantastic margaritas.

Took my chances coming here as I was walking by and saw people seated and eating outside. I ordered the chicken fajitas and was immediately disappointed by the sizzling smoke in my face. The green peppers were undercooked. The waiter just plopped it on the table without any regard for my face. The chips, salsa & sangria were ok. The place was noisy, busy and crowded. The other tall waiter was quick and attentive. I doubt I’ll be returning for a second time.

Walked in to the restaurant with a group of 8 and was told it was the ‘Saint Patrick’s day special’ that we could order food but not drinks… we are a group of 25-28 year olds being told we can not drink.. never have experienced this before… was a customer before but will never be a customer again. Looking forward to Cuban Pete’s opening.

We had dinner here the food was all right. It was pretty good. The service was terrible. You basically have to flag down a waiter and hope he maybe comes in 10 minutes to take your order or add a drink. We also ordered the margaritas and they came in cheap plastic cups even though everyone else around had glass. They said it was because they ran out of glass cups but then literally five seconds later they brought a whole round of glass cups for everyone else. I get it, but it’s bad optics. Then they graciously gave themselves a 20% tip without even asking..

A bustling mexican eatery off a main street, inside has approximately like 10 tables and on a Friday night me and my party of 2 were asked to wait 30 minutes. Food was ok -- nothing great nothing too special, everything came out relatively quickly and tasted as you would expect. We ordered flautas which were kinda dry on the inside, quesadillas which just tasted like your standard chicken and cheese quesadillas, and enchiladas that were seriously lacking sauce. All dishes came with a good portion of pico, guac, and sour cream. Chips and salsa were included in the meal. Margaritas are strong but not the tastiest. Ambience is fun and laid back. It's almost like dining at a taco bell/ mexican diner.

This is a cute place and it was very busy on a Friday night. We waited for 30 min to be seated, though the time went past pretty quick. The waiters were very friendly. The drinks were cheap, most margaritas $10. Even just one got em a bit tipsy, though they are very sweet like other reviews say. My favorite drink was the chambord margarita with sugar on the rim. I knew that was going to be sweet and it was but a very good kind of sweet and I enjoyed it a lot. They give complimentary chips and salsa. We ordered flautas, chicken quesadilla and enchiladas. Everything was decent. The quesadilla was not as filled with chicken as I hoped but it had good flavor. The flautas were a bit spicy but very crispy and overall good. I liked the rice and refried beans that came with the enchiladas. There was two enchiladas on the plate so perfect to share between two people. One downside is they added the tip automatically 20% for a party of 2, which is pretty unusual. I would have given 20 anyway but I would like the choice. 2 clean single bathrooms in the back. Overall very fun and colorful inside and would go again
