    Whenever I wanna hang out in AdMo, I find this to be a great place to start at. It has a nice bar space, and plenty of tables to sit at, small and large. I've always enjoyed the chips and salsa and pupusas. There's a lot more on the menu, but I haven't explored it all yet! Sometimes I grab a margarita as well, and they never miss. I've never tried making a reservation before, but on weekends, you might need one -- especially if you have a bigger party. It's worth mentioning that there's plenty of outdoor seating too. It's on a corner, and the streets all around are pretty narrow and permit-heavy, so give yourself time to park!

    Nice ambiance. Restaurant gets really busy. The drinks are AMAZING. Service was 3/5. Pupusas were delicious. I'd say don't ask for spicy salsa. My friend order chile, and they brought her an EXPIRED chipotle Cholula bottle. Stick to pupusas - I stayed away from their 'Mexican Food'. #1 was my favorite drink

    Wish I could leave a 4.5. Don't judge the food by its look. Split the fajitas with my fiance and it was just enough food. The flavor was great. They have a $30 bottomless tacos and carafe of margarita or beer on Tuesday and I'll definitely be back with friends for that! They also have beautiful art on the wall for sale!
