Great happy hour This is the place my friends and I go when we need a break from a long work day or week. The Spanish hacienda building and decor is typical of the many Mexican restaurants in the area, but, what makes this place stand out is the great appetizers at happy hour.

This is THE PLACE for Mexican – I could eat at this place again and again. My waitress was superb and the food was excellent. The atmosphere is very authentic and I love the margaritas (especailly the Fruit Margaritas). Be sure to try the soup, it is the best. Overall great place!

good chips and salsa – i went here for lunch recently and we were promptly seated. the service was great and fast. the chips were warm and crunchy (i thought the warm part was a nice touch). i ordered the carnitas, which i thought were ok. everybody else enjoyed their orders (enchiladas).

Go here! Great food, great atmoshpere and prices! – This place is so lively during the weekends! Great food and service. If you want something truly mexcian and authentic this is the place to go. They have mariachi music during the weekends and a very inviting atmosphere. Avoid those over priced restaurants (tortilla jo's) and enjoy a great meal that will leave you happily satisfied.
