About this business

If at the mention of Mexican food, chilaquiles and tortilla chips along with hot salsa dip come to mind, then this is the restaurant for you. Service is known to be extremely slow to say the least. But then patrons are always known to cool down when their famous chilled cactus juice is served. Ale lovers could always opt for Corona beer as they have a liquor permit. Settings are pretty warm and family-place like.

Asked for the manager who soon presented himself and advised they do not serve people on the sidewalk after 10pm and “you are welcome to sit here but no one would serve you” how rude !! When we advised we would go elsewhere his rudeness continued with a snide remark “good luck finding somewhere that will serve you this late” - I would not return to this res... read more
