My drinks were great- the Gorda margarita and my michelada! I got the Mexican Plate by Chuy which was a smorgasbord of tamales, chips and guacamole, dried beef and chicharones. The chicharones! Omg! I will be going back especially for that because it was so delicious! Crispy delicious pork nuggets haha.
We visited to celebrate our 25th anniversary and this place did not disappoint. We had the chips and guacamole as an appetizer. For dinner I had the taco plate with beef and my husband had the nachos with beef. All of the food was delicious! We also tried the Aku Aku, La Kika Margarita, and the Beauty and Beast cocktails. They were all SO good. Every staff member we encountered, especially our waiter (Anthony??) were great. Would recommend over and over again!
Great place! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
