Roger rated this 4 stars, calling it by far the best restaurant on the main Old Town strip, with fresh tortillas, a loaded fish plate, and attentive, fast service, despite most of the surrounding strip being a tourist trap.

On his first visit to this Old Town institution, Roger enjoyed the decor, roaming mariachis and a warm basket of fresh nacho chips brought out right away; despite a busy dining room, a server outside her own section still helped take and deliver their order, and his beef chimichanga with rice and beans had a good, fresh taste.
