We went here recently on a recommendation from a coworker. It was a Sat. night and it was very crowded (it's a very small restaurant). Make sure to bring cash! It's a casual Mexican place, and the customers don't seem to care what they wear here or what they look like (some people looked like they just rolled out of bed with their PJs on). Children and babies are welcome, if that tells you anything. WaaaaAAAAAAAA! We had to wait about 30 mins. to be seated. The hurried waiter did not even greet us as we were seated. The waiters seemed to be very rushed to get people in and out as quickly as they could. The menu is typical Mexican and the food was mediocre at best. Campos down the street is actually better food IMHO. The margaritas that people make such a fuss about were ok, but the blended one had little or no kick to it. Did they forget to put tequila in it? They say the Maggies "on the rocks" are better. But for my dollar the margaritas at El Torito on Ocean Park Bl. are muco mejor con mas tequila! Our plates were quickly removed from the table almost before the last bite was taken, and our drinks were not empty when they were swept away from under our noses. We felt rushed like we were in the way. The bill came and I placed my credit card on the table...I was quickly frowned at for doing so, and told in a rather rude tone by the fat waiter that we don't accept credit cards, only cash. The whole experience felt like I was being taken advantage of. The food is average, the service is hurried. It is all "smoke and mirrors" and they seem to have a lot of easily pleased loyal customers who think this place is Great! A lot of people think Taco Bell is great too. Nothing wrong with that. It just wasn't the fun experience I was hoping for. Won't be back.
Pros: Funky Mexican, Tiny
Cons: Small, Waiters rush you.
