Description

The menu features plates like Camarones Mosquito (jumbo shrimp over spinach green rice), taquitos, and tostadas de carne, many of which carry a distinctly spicy kick. While it is on the pricier side, the drink lineup balances the heat with margaritas and heavily handed ranch waters. Overhead, the room is decorated with flying paper-mâché figures, hanging flags, and strung lights, though those seated upstairs should prepare for cooler temperatures.
