    Decent, cheap mexican food. ( Not that common in Seattle…) Service isn’t always the friendliest, but the margaritas are tasty.

    Good food. Good Margaritas. Not too expensive. I just wish I felt cool enough to go there.

    This place is a joke.

    Yummy food for the price. Hard to get good, cheap, filling food in this town these days. Only been in once, though I thought our server was a real sweetie. Or maybe that’s the margarita talking.

    Bad service, okay food, music is way too loud.

    They know how to make a delicious, trad margarita.

    Not the best service–very spotty and usually brusque and seeminglyirritated–but we don’t go there for the service. It’s meant to be kinda bad-a$$, from the decor the juke box. So think of it as a theme. Ha!
    Cheap yummy Mexican food, strong margaritas, and heavy metal juke box. Good times.

    Great food; poor service. After reading the other comments, I will try the margarita next time.

    A Portland restaurant in Seattle. Music is way too loud. Food’s good, though probably not the Mexican you’re used to. Drinks are strong. Bar is fun. Servers are baked. It’s a great thing to have in Phinneywood, where, for years, the tone was set by the abysmal Santa Fe Cafe and the greybeards who make it possible for that monument to blandness to stay open.

    I wish we had a decent mexican place on The Ridge. This place certainly isn’t it. It does produce copious amounts of drunk people though, that’s about it.

    I was really disappointed by this place. Food did not taste or look fresh and the drinks were watery. We had the mojitos, maybe the margaritas are better. There were only 2 people to wait on and bus the restaurant and food came out cold. Overall not worth it.
