Shrimp bisque is fantastic! Creamy w/ a nice spicy kick. Then head to the bar, ask for Matt & sip on a perfectly mixed tequila cocktail! He can make anything u want...even if its not on the menu ;)
David CaffreySeptember 14, 2011really dark inside, which is good if you are ugly like me lol I really enjoy going here. Also in the darkness if you order pina colada you look a bit girly so you can hide in the shadows with it
Egle UstMay 22, 2015There is something Twin Peaks-ish about this place. Its not only trio of dips and salsas, red color chips, gigantic burritos, smoked salmon queasadillas and margaritas in a pineapple.- HarrisonApril 12, 2013veggie quesadilla is hearty & delicious. everything tastes fresh & homemade. generally not a fan of margaritas but i would certainly order one again here.
Joshua MeissnerAugust 3, 2012Quite the good little Mexican joint in LA! Don't let the sketchy looking outside deceive you; this place is classy & upscale, and Tom is an excellent server!
Jane DoeMarch 20, 2015Ask for the recession margarita for a cheaper off the menu version that will kick you in the ass for about $6 last time I checked..
Eily PJuly 25, 2015We had the turkey empanadas and the sirloin taco platter. Both delish and filling enough for 2!- Thomas ColtonMay 23, 2015One of the best off the wall Mexican joints in the area. Nothing else really like it.
"Double Up Thursdays" 2 Margaritas for the price of 1 from 9pm til closing time. All you have to do is post a pic of it!! EVERY MARGARITA! Every THURSDAY!!
They have the best salmon quesadilla. Also you HAVE to get the velvet margarita.
Come get your rock on at Toxic Tuesdays featuring the Dark DJs & entertainment industry guests each week! They have killer food & drink specials too!
Melanie SchwartzDecember 23, 2013Order a margarita then order food then order another margarita. They only get stronger as you go!!
Elisabeth KartikaNovember 19, 2010Awesome mexican food and not madly overpriced. My bf got custard-filled churos for his b'day cake which was super delicious! Will definitely come back :>- Jedi WrightJanuary 12, 2010Careful with where you park on Cahuenga, it's pretty territorial with the valets; ample parking lots within a 3 block radius. Start with the house salad and margarita, they're excellent.
Sydney WilliamsAugust 6, 2014Their burritos are GINORMOUS. Excellent margaritas. Looks like a strip club from the outside.- Awesome drinks and delicious food!Ultimate margarita is a must! Have the Ahi tacos or save room for the massive burrito! :D
- Kadrian AlvarengaJanuary 31, 2010Awesome margaritas and well tequila that goes down smoothly? It's too good to be true. Kinda. The wait time for a table is nuts and the parking is a nightmare. Watch for black woman screaming Read more
Mark MedakNovember 7, 2010dude, custard filled churros for dessert? are you kidding me? unbelievable. Not a bad item amongst the various our party ordered. highly recommended.
Be sure to order the shrimp bisque when you order your meal. You'll have a choice and this tasty little bowl of deliciousness never fails.
Amber MillerJune 29, 2013you can sometimes find a hot guy named Tim at the bar... be sure to look for him;) (super big muscles)
Sundays are the stuff. Great tunes djed by PART TIME MODELS and CHEAP BOOZE!
Thursday night gets pretty busy get there before 10 to get a seat!!! Yummy salsa
Coco MuramatsuMay 20, 2012The best part was the decor, not the food. The margarita & the soup were good as described....
Best $5 margaritas! 2 drink minimum to get chips. Make sure Thomas is your bartender!
Jenny TaylorAugust 7, 2011Mistress Jenny recommends: start with a tequila shot and chase it with a delicious strawberry margarita ;)
Jenny MajamakiNovember 28, 2010Margarita smoothy! Served in big pineapple with fresh strawberry. A total healthy meal! *Love it!*
- Mexican Haunted Mansion! Thursdays are mellow inside, crowded outside!
Hannah SmithJanuary 28, 2011Seems like a bad bar with eh food, but possibly you can score drugs in the bathroom..so, you know, depends on what you're up for.
ValleyChicaOctober 12, 2009Make an early reservation this place gets packed! The Dio De Los Muertos decor is really awesome.
Anoxia MiladyApril 21, 2013The host here is not informative at all. no seating when waiting on a table.
An NguyenJune 6, 2012Sat around for 20 min before our server came around. Food was mediocre. Drinks were basic. Wouldn't come back
