Review from Gabrielle J.

I agree with the previous review that service could have been better, food prices are steep for "tex mex" and there is something just plain weird about wiping your mouth with toilet paper...
HOWEVER.
If you want funky, LOUD, tequila, and a good time- THIS IS YOUR PLACE!
As my (American) sister turned 21 last week and I visited to help her ring it in- American style. We booked a table for 20 people around 9:30. We warned them we'd be loud, drunk, and wanting more tequila.
Not only was our table ready to go when we arrived at 9pm; we had a tray of tequila shots before our butts were in our seats. Strong and good margaritas (albeit frozen- not my fav). BEST PART- our waiter was able to keep everybody's tab separate!!!
This would be a disaster in the US! He was able to divide all of our pitchers of margaritas between each persons' individual order, factored in his own tip, and sent us on our way! PHENOMENAL for a group this large.
My only peeve is that there were no chips and salsa to be seen after I had ordered some several times. Needed something desperately to absorb all the tequila. -

Oh boy, oh boy. If you feel like spending A LOT of money (60$ for two for "Californian-Mexican" food WITHOUT DRINKS is a lot in my book), endure really bad service and eat ok food, this place is exactly what you are looking for.
I wasn't looking for that at all last time I went. The vibe is funky, with their bath filled with sand and toys as a table, their jungle plants and the toilet paper on your table instead of napkins. We see the effort here to be creative.
Where is gets bad is when you wait 20 minutes without water, on a Tuesday night, even though the restaurant is empty, for someone to take your order. It gets worst when you see the guy going out for a smoke, and give him The Look by sticking your head out of the window. You feels kinda better when he swallows his cig, and runs at you apologizing because he forgot about you. But then when they don't have fish anymore, and it takes another 30 minutes to get what you ordered, you are not feeling good at all. The 60$ bill was the finishing move.
Don't be fooled by the jungle and the red lights. Worst case scenario, just get a Margarita, and get the f**k out. -

This place is both heaven and hell, at the same time. The service is a joke, literally, the waitstaff are total slackers/stoners, which I'd usually find amusing if I wasn't waiting for 25 minutes to even see one of them come close to my table. The prices are extremely steep, but the portions are also quite relevant to the prices. However, this place IS fun. For the times I DO want to drink and be obnoxious, the festive atmosphere and anything goes attitude just makes things better. There are about two or three vegetarian options, but the best one is the grilled vegetable wrap with hummus AND gaucamole together. I swear, that mix is heavenly. This is the best tex-mess (ha!) restaurant, because they know exactly what they are, and play into that to make them the best at what they do - party.

Service was slow, they were out of enchiladas too. The food I had (mini-mo ster) was very good though. I've had better margaritas elsewhere. Would probably not go back.
