Great hidden gem. I have been a patron of this place for 20 years now and it has always been a consistent favorite of mine. Live music on Wednesdays, amazing food, great deck, jukebox is the most eclectic and original collection of music in the state. Pete the owner is on site everyday and because of his dedication and passion for this wonderfully unique bar and restaurant, it’s hard to stay away ! I love it

The food is exceptional and the home made quality shines through. Our bartender was friendly, had tons of good recommendations and made some fantastic drinks. We came for happy hour on taco Tuesday and the deals were crazy good. Could have easily fed a family of 5 on like 30 bucks. Tacos and tamales. The vibe was something I'm sorely missing when I go out these days: SOUL, warm, friendly, homey and eclectic. Copious seating inside and out. This place rocks.

Cool place to hang out and get a bite to eat. Had the beef tacos which tasted good, but had way too much moisture from the pico. Made it very messy to eat. Last time I had the empanadas and they were delicious. Others at my table had tamales and said they were very good. I'll be back, probably won't get the tacos.

This place is on the outskirts of Rice Village. It’s really quiet and very chill. It has an indoor and outdoor seating area. They have a small food menu but each item is great. The kitchen is open late. I always have a great time when going.

I was not fully digging the vibe of this place. Crowd was a range of 30-60…decide yourself if that’s for you!Cocktails were not really good. But tacos were decent.

I came here for a group happy hour meet-up. The place is cool. The food and drinks are ok. However, it's unfortunate that they don't have table service, I spent too much of my evening in line to order at the bar.Parking: Parking is very limited

It was busy so it took awhile to get our drinks...which were made outstandingly. Bravo to the bartender!! All special drinks are handmade!! We had a pina colada, cucumber basil Ricky and ginger beer along with some Guinness and maybe ller lites.WOW.... and they taste great. We celebrated the New Year here with my daughter and son in law. It's very cozy, the atmosphere is SO relaxing and we were outside since the weather was nice and cool. I'm coming back here.Parking: We had no trouble with parking at allWheelchair accessibility: It's wheelchair accessible.
