we live around the corner and had never been to this place. we decided to check it out (on a saturday night) without reservations. the atmosphere is fun - loud, but pleasant at the bar, the back patio slightly more quiet and more hip. very much the hollywood cattle call scene. all of our service was particularly friendly and pleasant, if a bit on the slow side (nothing that would deter us). the real surprise was the drinks: they were a bit gnarly. the velvet margarita in a pineapple is fun, but of four drinks, we sent two back because they just didn't taste good (i can't remember ever having done that before - with even one drink, let alone two). the quesadillas were delicious and the tamales were excellent too (warning - lots of stuff has olives in it, so ask if you aren't an olive person) though the steak burrito was average. the menu was interesting, though limited.
Pros: fun atmosphere; great location
Cons: hit-or-miss drinks; limited menu
