10 out of 10! Brisket tacos were some of the best brisket we've ever had, the pork enchiladas were delicious and the ribeye fajitas were super filling. I loved the black beans. A smokey mezcalina and boss margarita were sublime drinks. The only average thing was the free salsa. The spicy one was better. Going to have to come back regularly!
Cool little place to grab a bite to eat. Not terribly expensive and the food is good. They serve unlimited chips and salsa. We had about 8 in our group. Most ordered tacos and they looked super good. I got the spicy burger. Our service was great. He even announced my son in-laws birthday and he sang! Fun experience. We will be back!
We arrived just before they closed last night, tired and hungry after a very ong day of travel. Paula greeted us and was so kind and agreed to let us in. She got the kitchen to fix us a meal and Mia the bartender fixed wonderful margaritas. The food and drinks were excellent, and Paula and Mia were very attentive and kind to us. They really saved us and let us end our long day on a very high note!
Attended this location on V-day 2024.
Pros:Our fishbowl margaritas and house chips and salsa were great.
Courtney the bartender was phenomenal.
Cons: I tend to order more expensive dishes in hopes I'll receive an amazing dining experience. I made the regrettable decision of the seafood enchiladas. Whomever prepared this for me should hang up the hat immediately.
Two soggy flour tortillas with rubber tasting small amount of seafood with some low quality shredded cheese on top. NO flavor. NO spices or herbs and most importantly NO enchilada sauce. And LOOKED absolutely nothing remotely like the photo you advertise online. I shelled $18 on valentines day for this embarrassment. I just won't go back to places if restaurants keep doing this to clients
I don't want to even get into what my husband was served
It wasn't even busy.
The staff is always really pleasant.

Spicy pig burrito was very good and flavorful. A welcomed change to the Sarasota norm.
The Wicked roll was good but for 12.00 you expect A LOT more of it. For this reason alone I can't recommend it.
Service was great until a large party arrived and it seems like all attention was focused on that party and the other diners fell to the wayside.
The food was great. For those from the Austin area it's not Trudys, Baby As, or Chuys. It is more along the lines of Serranos or Matt's El Rancho which is a great compliment and not a negative comparison by any means.
I will be back.

1st time here with husband. 1st impression leaves little to be desired. Let me explain. We walk in and waited awhile before anyone acknowledged us. Staff made eye contact with us on several occasions and nothing. It only takes a quick second to say “hi, someone would be right with you” . It’s a pretty small place, it’s not hard to see who’s walking in. I work in serving clients and I think it’s very important to make a great first impression. And the simple was to do that is greet people the moment they walk into your establishment. We had to ask the bar tender is anyone going to attend to us?
Moving on, the server we had made up for the poor reception. She was amazing. Very efficient and attentive. I would shout her out, but I’m not good with names. We were generous with our tip for a service well done by her. Let’s talk about the food. Food was ok. We’ve had better Mexican dish with better flavors. Drinks were good. I appreciate the liquor portion. Desert was delicious. It would’ve been good to have with cappuccino or something similar. Outdoor seating available. Decent parking space.

Good Mexican place for a quick bite. Great outdoor seating when the sun is out. The steak and chicken burritos were delicious, good size and if not hungry good for two. Quesadilla was good, but for the price ($15) with no sides not so sure if we would order again. Very cute indoor seating, wish I took a picture. The only downside was the service, they were not busy at all and it took 15-20mins for someone to stop by the table and greet us and that was because I had to ask someone at the front. Other than that, everything was good.
