    Atmosphere was nice, service was good and so was the chips and salsa. Unfortunately three out of four at the table didn’t care for the food.

    It’s a cute restaurant. The menu is a little limited, but there are vegetarian options for my son, so we frequent the place. Staff is always friendly, and they have good drinks. Food tastes excellent, although a little heavy sometimes.

    Our server was attentive and each dish well prepared- the mahi mahi and chorizo tacos are a meal by themselves! The mariposa margarita requires more than one sampling - we will all be back - it was a great birthday celebration.

    This is the 2nd time I have eaten there. The margaritas are very good. I had a chicken taco and mahi fish taco. Both delicious. The only reason I gave a 4 star for the food is the chicken tortilla soup was very salty. It was also very thick - which was good.

    We were met at the door by staff. Got to pick a seat in a booth. Had a soup special (excellent). Had a flight of margharitti's. What a great idea! Three choices (recommended by the waitress). We had a burrito and enchilada. Very good. The beutiful Licking County Courthouse is across the street. Newark, on the square, is very nice.

    The food was amazing, the salsa is so fresh and delicious. We really like the hot sauce, great flavor. They have a good selection of beer and the spicy pickle margarita is the best!! Not to mention the service is top notch. We never had to ask for anything, water was always refreshed, and our chips never ran out. We really appreciate the attention to detail…our compliments to the chef and entire team, thank you!! Looking forward to our next visit.
