Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a great experience here. The tequila selection is seriously impressive, and every drink we tried was amazing. Loved how their drink selection has a variety of flavors including spicy. The tacos were surprisingly rich in flavor, (como Mexicana) I tend to not have high expectations going in restaurants but these were way better than I expected.
A special shoutout to our bartender, Andres, who made the visit even better. He offered thoughtful recommendations based on what we said we liked, and everything he suggested was spot on.
Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for great drinks, delicious food, and excellent service!
Best authentic margaritas featuring a curated selection of spirits and all natural ingredients. Andres' knowledge on the spirits avaliable and special attention to every cocktail he prepares is a mixologist masterclass.
Don't miss out on the food too. The habanero burger and steak salad are a must!
We had a fantastic experience here. The tequila selection is quite astonishing, and every drink we sampled was fantastic. I liked how their drink menu offered a range of flavors, including hot. The tacos were shockingly flavorful (como Mexicana). I don't usually have high expectations when I go to eateries, but these were far superior.
A particular thanks to Andres, our bartender, who made the visit even more enjoyable. He made intelligent choices based on what we indicated we liked, and everything he advised was right on.
I highly recommend visiting by if you're looking for fantastic beverages, delicious food, and excellent service!
We catered with Del Toro for our wedding and they were AMAZING! Our guests were raving for weeks about our food!! They also provided fantastic service, Raul was so kind and easy to work with, he helped to bring our vision to life. I highly recommend them for your next event, you guests will not be able to stop talking about the food!!
A nice mellow down place to have some drinks and chitchat. Have been coming for years, the place was expanded, more room and great drinks. The food is basic, not bad but not the best. I would say this a place to have an appetizer and a bunch of drinks. The drinks are really good, a small but packed of liquor. I only had one and was feeling it. The service was on point and very welcoming.
