In Short – This kitschily decorated joint--stuffed snakes, animal skulls and marionettes--is a popular spot for locals seeking out inexpensive Mexican fare. Lunches and early dinners are not as crowded, but it's almost always packed during regular dinner hours. Mexican favorites, including tacos and enchiladas, and more exotic dishes are available. The Texas Ranger pork loins stuffed with napolitos (cactus) and meats like ostrich, boar and buffalo, are popular choices. Margaritas are big, flavorful and potent.

Great Tacos

by archrmike

The location and inside was great. Nice area.

The smoked lamb tacos with mole were fantastic. Rice and beans were good too. Skip the guacamole. It looked more like whipped avacados and expensive. The service was good and we had a great dinner.

  • Pros: The whole inside of the place was cool
  • Cons: The prices were a bit high for tex-mex
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
