1 of 5 stars. I was really excited to try this place out when I moved here in 2000. We waited an hour for a seat and then got the same Mexican we could have gotten from Losbetos.

4 of 5 stars. The fact that they push your food to your table on a wobbly old cart is reason enough to go here. Other reasons? The margaritas. This place is open late, although they are closed sometimes for a month…
