My friend and I had such a great experience here with Jesus as our waiter! He was very friendly, funny and accommodating. The food was good, the margaritas were mediocre but it as an overall fitting place for us to go for a quick bite and pleasant vibes while other places in the surrounding neighborhood were booked.

nachos - generous amount of hearty brisket - very tasty - a steal for $15 - billed as an appetizer, but took me a while to finish it salad - really good, very large portion, filled me up for the day, all ingredients were still in easily acceptable to good condition, even after me packing it tight into a container, taking it home on the subway, putting it into a fridge that may or may not be on sometimes, taking it onto the subway again, putting it into the refrigerator at work, taking it out, then shoveling it into my mouth street corn - buttery, sweet and delicious - of course it was - it was street corn - the extra sauce (goop) that was left over served as a nice dipping sauce for my fries fries - fine - nothing special - fine - not a waste for a diet cheat day, but I've had better

Came here for guacamole and drinks - how could you go wrong! We requested to sit outside as it was (finally!) nice out in the city but the outdoor enclosed area was a SAUNA. Still, for popping in on a weekend, was happy to be seated immediately. We each ordered a large cocktail and they are LARGE. My Spicy Passion was great. My partner ordered the Miami Vice which was strong and sweet, and the third person in our party ordered the Mojitorita. We also ordered guacamole for the table which was supposed to be "spicy" but tasted like regular guacamole. Had to request additional chips and salsa as the servings of food weren't nearly as large. The total came to over $120 which felt expensive for what it was. Overall, I'd come back for a giant drink if I was in a pinch and in the neighborhood, but likely won't go out of my way to return.

To reminisce about our Mexican holiday, we came to the right spot. Casual but not too casual. Lively ambiance with groups or dates (mainly in the outdoor covered area). We had a few watermelon mezcal margaritas with complimentary chips after some shopping. You have the option to get a small or a large glass for the margaritas. We sat right by the window for prime people watching. All service was very friendly. They also make fresh guacamole on-site, so we will have to try it next time.
