A great place to step out of the hotel and visit. Super staff who were good fun and friendly. Enjoyed a good few days of beers plus people watching. When I had food i enjoyed it. Good value and right next to the local beach.

Our 2nd time to this restaurant and will probably go back every time we're in town. The guacamole they make at your table is excellent and is definitely a must have. The wings are amazing and that's coming from a New York wing snob. They don't make a bad taco; try them all!

Excellent guacamole made fresh right next to your table absolute best ever. The tacos were ok. Didn’t get alcoholic drinks and w Eloy ordered hibiscus juice which was excellent. Tamarind juice was watered down not what I used to get in a typical Mexican restaurant. There is a picture guy that tricked us into getting a picture with in a way but to be honest it was a nice picture. The atmosphere and ambiance are excellent and very photogenic from the inside. Looks like they have a life band at night but I was there during the day. Bathrooms were clean.

What I loved about this place is there was no mithering and no pressure to come in but we decided to have our lunch and a drink here and get away from the hussle of 5th ave , We just had a very nice welcome from Elsi our waitress who showed us to our table and even set up a fan for us ! We order a pinacolda and a giant margarita ( beautiful) then a photographer Rene took a photo on his camera and on my phone, the food was beautiful and tasted well seasoned and fresh , the drinks were definitely worth the money with flavour and alcohol content the souvenirs you can get from the picture he took was Amazing a picture frame and a personal tequila bottle ! Amazing experience and will definitely will be back thank you guys !!!!
