Ok. Mondays are happy hour all day so what’s not to love? We pretty much ordered all the happy hour items (chips and guacamole, shrimp tostadas, elote, margaritas…) and made a night of it. Everything was tasty but elote will keep me coming back. Very friendly and kind servers.

Great food and drinks. 10$ margarita happy hour evenings and weekends. Best frozen margaritas! You can tell they actually make and freeze the drinks in house. Not a pre-mixed situation. I am vegetarian and get the mushroom tacos. They are delicious.
June 2025
A top Mexican spot in the neighborhood- and there is a lot of good Mexican food here. Margaritas are large and amazing, as well as the tacos and steak. Their birria soup is perfect on a cold day. Have been going here once a week recently! Servers are very kind as well!
