Have to admit was less than impressed. The chips and salsa were good, husband said margarita was good. The grilled veggie plate was not the kinds of veg I was expecting and very bland, unfortunately. We should have known when we were the only ones there at around 6:30.

Dive-y little place on Lark, only open I believe certain days as staff rotate between here and their main location near the Plaza. Have whatEVER the longtime bartender gentleman recommends! Our first time here we walked in and we were the only ones there. It was actually during the St. Patrick’s Day parade. This spot was where we felt the most welcome! Upon arrival you could smell a spicy, garlicky goodness wafting from the kitchen. We received menus and when the bartender/server came to our table he said, “can I order something for you?” I said “absolutely! it smells wonderful, whatever’s is going on in the kitchen.” He brought a sizzling plate of shrimp in a garlic oil sauce with crusty bread to dip in it, and it was heavenly. I’ve never had a bad meal here or at the flagship restaurant El mariachi. Also— Drinks A+.
We just walked in from Lark St. deciding on where to eat. We were pleased with the cozy atmosphere and the warm welcome from the owner. I had the chile relleno carne and it was one of the best dishes I have ever had in my entire life., We are food and drink enthusiasts and have a lot of years behind us. The margarita was incredible and he knew exactly what I wanted. Absolute quality at this restaurant. We can not wait to revisit.

We LOVED this place...and our server Arturo!! The White Sangria was the best we have ever had and the Guacamole and chicken enchiladas were fresh and flavorful! The decor is also really great.

Horrible experience! The food was terrible and service was even worse! Please don't waste your money or your time!
My wife and I had a great meal at this restaurant. 2 Modello’s, a sangria, Enchilada Bandera and Pollo a la Mexicana. Service was fantastic. It was very fast. The enchilada was ok but needed more heat, in my humble opinion. The waiter brought their house sauce and that was the kick that the meal needed. The Pollo a la Mexicana had Jalapeño but was missing a little something. The house sauce added the necessary punch. Overall, a great experience.

We had tix to a concert and had a couple of hours until showtime. It was stormy out and didn’t want to walk too far. We looked up restaurants on Trip Advisor and this place was very close by. We walked in a little after 5pm and there was nobody there. We were immediately seated in a beautiful little room. The menu is very large so we took our time deciding. The food came out very fast. It seemed a little pricey for the quantity of shrimp that I actually got but it was delicious. The blood orange margarita was a tad on the small side. I rarely drink but thought a margarita would be nice in an authentic Mexican restaurant but it wasnt that good. Our server was delightful!! Halfway through our meal the place filled up quick with other diners and it got so uncomfortably loud. We skipped dessert and asked for the check instead because we couldn’t hear ourselves any longer. There was a notation with the bill that there is a surchage for using a card. So we plunked down cash and went on our way. Overall we are glad we stopped and would probably go again.

Rude staff, watered down margaritas, definitely not going back. Left a big tip to be nice, but our sever did not deserve it.

Excellent customer service for starters. All the food was amazing. The tequila queso fundido and the octopus were the favs. The tapas approach is great allowing u to sample more.
