Freakin Awesome Mexican Food--Cool Place!

03/26/2007 Posted by bdose

Best chips and salsa ever, seriously! I went there because of the good reviews I read here. Small but cozy, casual. Steak tacos were great and the chicken-avocado enchiladas were even better. AND..the BEANS! I never even care about the beans but both the refried and the pintos were out of this world. The rice was pretty basic and not noteworthy unless you spiced it up with salsa. Get a pitcher of house margaritas with salt and you're all set. Great bookstore on 23rd nearby too!

Pros: Awesome food and service, best chips and salsa, quaint and cozy

Cons: small place, but that could be a "pro"--they did make room for a group of 20 though (call ahead!)

An old-school bordello look paired with potent margaritas and Mexican fare. See the full editorial review.
