Great margaritas and they occasionally have chicharones. Classic Mexican food and some specialty dishes. My favorite is their spicy steak dish. Carne asada Yucatán. Justine the bartender is very good.

This place is an institution in town as it has been here forever! The food, the drinks, and the staff are all top-notch. Their specials change frequently and are always tasty. The atmosphere lends to a great vibe while dining or just having a cocktail. Worth going to when in town.
