Great dishes and friendly staff. The salsa station is a nice touch. Big tequila selection and cozy outdoor seating. Inside seating can be tight quarters, especially in the winter but it makes for a more intimate meal. The cinnamon in the coffee is a good change of pace and the banana-changa is not to be missed.

Great place to turn up. Everything was delicious. Don’t necessarily think using a big scoop tortilla chip as a bowl for the salsa for the patrons is needed, but besides that great place.

I went here for the first time and cant wait to go back. The food was delicious ? You have the option to eat outside or indoors and the margaritas are on point!!! The staff was awesome and the prices were fair!!! They have their own parking too. I really couldn't ask for more ???

The best Mexican food I have ever eaten! Great Margaritas which were authentic and strong, not a huge goblet of sweet and sour mix. The Tamales were our favourite, delicious flavour and texture and great side dishes. Big portions, amazing staff, reasonable price and great flavour!

Chorizo quesadilla with salad and Mexican rice. Sausage was little diced chunks; would have preferred ground up. Other than that, pretty tasty.
Chips and salsa were so-so.
Price not bad, included soda.

Always phenomenal staff. No sour mix in the margaritas! Best bar margaritas around served by the funniest and coolest bartenders. Nachos Fantasticos with chorizo are true to their name. El Loco is a regular haunt of mine today and will be when I'm dead too.

We were actually looking for another restaurant. We found this gem of a restaurant. Great food at a reasonable price.

I'm picky when it comes to Mexican. Even highly recommended spots have been hit or miss. But i really had a great experience here! Great Mezcal, the burrito grande was amazing, and the service was top notch. Highly recommend!

We were looking for somewhere close after a morning in Washington Park and tried this spot. Food was excellent, margaritas delicious and service friendly. Lots of vegetarian options.

Amazing place with nice decor and very friendly staff. The food is good and the price is reasonable. We ordered the nachos which was huge and two of us couldn’t finish it. The tacos were good as well.
