OK, so this is a taco truck, but it's some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time.  Crazy-good flavor! Monster-sized burrito, good chips & pico.  The salsas were spicy, but not burning your lips hot.

I had planned on trying a sit-down…More »

Spicy drinks! Livin' la Vida Loca on this place!  Loved the atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff.

I went with several friends after the Superbowl and got to try like 5 different drinks sitting at the bar.  The drinks were awesome, but not for…More »

Yay!! Finally I find a decent Mexican restaurant in the Puget Sound.  Since I moved to the area in October 2011, I've tried 6 different Mexican places.  This is the very first one that I'll be going back to for seconds!!

The service was excellent and…More »

The food was awesome!  My only complaint was the service was a little lame.  Excellent guacamole and salsas.  Even the warm, crispy chips were good.

I tried the monster burrito.  A little heavy on the beans, but the steak was excellent.  This is more…More »

This is one popular place in Lower Queen Anne! On a Sunday late afternoon it was completely packed with happy hour going on.  It was a challenge to find a bar table open.

It seems like a very trendy local quasi-mexican place with a sports-bar feel.…More »

  Update - 2/8/2012

I finally got a chance to try this place when they weren't closed on a Friday night.  There seems to be a lot of these "mom-and-pop" type Mexican places (Taquerías) around town.  There's no doubt they all speak Spanish and come from Mexico.  The food…More »

Great atmosphere, a little trendy yet unique for a suburban bar.  Happy hour was a good deal for the appetizers, but the food portions are small, except the nachos.  The drinks are way overpriced (no discount on drinks for happy hour).

Not bad... The chips come out super hot... The salsa had good flavor and spice, but was a little watery for my taste.

The beef burritos were good, but the tortillas were on the soggy side.  I will say that the service was good.

If you're used to the…More »

OK.. Now I'm used to good Mexican food from Southern California and Texas.  This place is about as good as it's going to get in the area beyond Taco Bell.  The food is decent, but come on now.. $10 for a burrito?!  I guess they do have a monopoly on…More »

If you're in a hurry for something different for lunch it's not a bad place to stop by.  Not the best value.  Paying $10 for a burrito and drink just seems like a ripoff to me.

They give you a paper tray with literally 5 or 6 chips to take on the…More »

I'd say this is your average run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurant.  I will say that the guacamole was good.  If you're starving, the portions are huge, which they should be for a $10 burrito.  It was a busy Saturday night, and I was seated near the bar…More »

This is among the worst Mexican food restaurants I've ever tried.  The parking lot was full, and I was in the area so I figured I'd give it a shot.  Once I got inside however the place was nearly empty.  I've honestly had better frozen TV dinners…More »
