    Outstanding food and service! Recommend avocado tacos! The menu has many choices. I have been here twice and both times excellent. Strong margaritas : )

    I get the steak salad with shrimp instead of meat, it's a great salad that fills you up. The service is always great too. Plenty in booths to sit inside or eat on their patio. After decades of coming here, I keep coming back. Yum.

    Amazing food and cocktails, best upscale Mexican Restaurant I've been to in Sac. Strawberry Jalapeño Margaritas is to die for, as are the Baja Tacos! Servers are super nice, and care obviously is put into the food. So delicious, it's one of my picky boyfriend's favorite restaurants!

    Great food! I've had their Taco salad and their Steak salad. The steak salad was absolutely amazing. The meat was cooked perfectly - the combination of cooked onions with crispy onions was well rounded - the dressing was creamy and delicious- the candied pepitas I'd like to take home in a large to go bag they were so good. This salad was so good I'm going to hve a hard time ever ordering anything else here again. I also had the strawberry jalapeño margarita and it was SPICY! I'm an avid spicy cocktail drinker so I can hang, this one was close to my spice level limit. I loved how there were little chunks of fresh strawberries bc they helped balance it out a bit.
