We came for a late lunch and ordered from the happy hour menu. Everything was delicious and VERY reasonably priced. I highly recommended this place
Always a top tier experience. The food was great, and exclusive tequila selection. Always a must stop place when traveling to San Francisco. I recommend booking the tequila tasting room if hosting an event as well! A neighborhood staple
I stopped in for an early dinner, around 5pm. No wait for a table and service was prompt. Very good Mexican food.
