The bartender brings a rolling cart stocked with fresh-squeezed juices and all the fixings to mix at your table. The menu is reasonably-priced menu and offers a wide variety of South-of-the-Border selections.

Some noteworthy appetizers include lobster enchillada, queso fundido, and costillas de cafe.  The fish and meat taco flavors are more than delicious, as are the ahi tuni, carnitas and carne asada.
