Tony X.Tony Xerri: The crispy shrimp tacos are addictive, and so is the braised short ribs. A little queso, a little watermelon ceviche, then a bowl of queso to balance it out. Get a pineapple jalapeno margarita too.

George F.George Fotopoulos: Give it shot. Nice crowd

Emily S.Emily Smith: The fajitas come with cheese quesadillas which are actually your tortillas for the fajitas. If you want regular tortillas just ask.
