About this business

If there is a wait at this popular restaurant, order a classic margarita or a 'floater' and dip into the chips and hot sauce and/or queso. Before long, you will be addressing a plate full of the Tex-Mex standard of your choice. Or try any of the variations on barbecued chicken-the chalupas of this variety are especially tasty.

this place sucks for its intolerance towards others, both people and animals. Please, don't spend your money here.

Never ate there, never will. Public signage trying to be funny and sarcastic is one thing. Signage designed to denigrate a specific category of people who live according to ethical standards and show compassion...something entirely different. I don't appreciate public, misleading, and defamatory attacks against me as a vegan. Would this signage DARE do the same to Jews who observe a kosher diet? Case closed. One star.
