Such a cute place! Lots of margaritas to choose from. I had the upper Michigan and the salamone, both delish. Had calamari and chips and salsa as well. Cute neon signs everywhere!

The atmosphere seemed a tad loud, but understandable considering the size of the establishment. We were seated immediately on a Friday night and saw people coming and going frequently. Immediately had chips/salsa at our table along with waters. The waiter took our order for drinks, which were really good, but expensive. Ordered a Mai Tai cocktail and Sunset Point cocktail, both came to 14 & 15 each. Queso dip was good. Had a slight kick of spice to it. Paired well mixed with the salsa. Ordered the Burrito Pineapple, which had a very unique flavor. Sweet yet savory with the chorizo. Also had the Macho Burrito, which was a full of flavor. The shrimp in the Burrito was a nice addition. Will definitely return to see what other options we like!

Great food and service! We sat outside. Our server was quick to take our order, and the food came out quickly! I ordered the El Jefe, highly recommend it! It is the steak tacos. The Camerone taco were great. Everything we tried was great! Definitely be back when we are in the area!
